NCT02968888

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the acute anabolic effects of native whey, whey protein concentrate 80 (WPC-80) and milk after a bout of strength training in young and elderly. The investigators hypothesize that native whey will give a greater stimulation of muscle protein synthesis and intracellular anabolic signaling than WPC-80, and that WPC-80 will give a stronger stimulus than milk.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Mixed muscle fractional synthetic rate

    A continous infusion of a stable isotope (phe D5) is used to measure incorporation of tracer into muscle (biopsies from m. vastus lateralis)

    Three to one hours prior to a bout of strength training and protein consumption

  • Mixed muscle fractional synthetic rate

    A continous infusion of a stable isotope (phe D5) is used to measure incorporation of tracer into muscle (biopsies from m. vastus lateralis)

    One to five hours after a bout of strength training and protein consumption

  • Mixed muscle fractional synthetic rate

    Two boluses of tracer (phe13C6 and phe15N) was used to measure incorporation of tracer into muscle (biopsies from m. vastus lateralis)

    From three to five hours after a bout of strength training and protein consumption

  • Mixed muscle fractional breakdown rate

    Two boluses of tracer (phe13C6 and phe15N) was used to measure the dilution of tracer in muscle (biopsies from m. vastus lateralis)

    From three to five hours after a bout of strength training and protein consumption

Secondary Outcomes (96)

  • Ratio of phosphorylated to total ribosomal protein S6 kinase beta-1(P70S6K) change from baseline

    30 min before, 1, 2.5 and 5 hours after training and protein intake

  • Phosphorylation of phosphorylated to total eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF-2) change from baseline

    30 min before, 1, 2.5 and 5 hours after training and protein intake

  • Phosphorylation of phosphorylated to total eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 (4EBP-1) change from baseline

    30 min before, 1, 2.5 and 5 hours after training and protein intake

  • Intracellular translocation of forkhead box O3 (FOXO3a) change from baseline

    30 min before, 1, 2.5 and 5 hours after training and protein intake

  • Intracellular translocation of muscle RING-finger protein-1 (Murf-1) change from baseline

    30 min before, 1, 2.5 and 5 hours after training and protein intake

  • +91 more secondary outcomes
