Acute Whey Protein And Casein Supplementation: Effect On Protein Metabolism After Resistance Exercise
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The proteins of human breast milk are the most important endocrine signaling system that promotes neonatal growth by increasing the release of insulin, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and the leucine-mediated mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1- (mTORC1) signaling of pancreatic β-cells. Remarkably, the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, isoleucine, and valine are involved in the growth-promoting effects of milk, protein biosynthesis, and metabolism because they physiologically stimulate insulin secretion The present study sought to investigate the effects of the combination of whey protein and casein in the ratio of 80:20 ("whey protein: casein" or "casein: whey protein") as breast milk proportion on the peak and the period of the permanence of branched-chain amino acids in the blood circulation, final metabolites of protein metabolism and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after a single bout of fasting or a resistance exercise session.

Detailed Description
The present study investigated the effects of the association of WP and casein in the ratio of 80:20, a similar ratio of human breast milk, on blood branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) profile by HPLC technique, markers of protein metabolism (creatinine, urea, and urine nitrogen) and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after a single bout of resistance exercise. A double-blind, crossover and acute study was conducted with ten men (age 29 ± 8 y; BMI: 25.4 ± 2.9 Kg/m2; 77 ± 12 kg; 1.74 ± 0.09 m) that were randomly assigned to five supplementation treatments: WP - whey protein; CAS - casein; WP/CAS - 80% WP/20% CAS; CAS/WP
- 80% CAS/ 20% WP; PLA - placebo. Participants were submitted to the following evaluations: performance sessions, blood collection for each session for the BCAAs profile determination, two food records, 3-days assessment of DOMS (24h, 48h, 72h) after each treatment.
