Abstract in brief

  • The study found that consuming more protein (2RDA) than the recommended amount (1RDA) improves overall protein balance in older adults, mainly by increasing protein synthesis.
  • The pattern of protein intake distribution across meals (even vs uneven) did not significantly impact net protein balance or protein synthesis rates.
  • Higher total protein intake enhanced muscle protein synthesis, indicating that total amount matters more than how protein is distributed throughout the day for older adults.]

Interestingly: Muscle protein synthesis didn't differ sig between groups BUT the increase from RDA to 2RDA is in line with our previous infusion data: https://t.co/qUAcLs1o2g AND @saraoikawa & @mackinprof D2O derived data: https://t.co/YHsM4Dxrzx YAY for study replication! https://t.co/EISDpzElfO

De hecho, se han observado tasas de Síntesis de Proteínas Musculares significativamente mayores en aquellos adultos mayores que consumen casi EL DOBLE (1,5 g/PRO/kg/día) de la recomendación clásica de 0,83 (https://t.co/pZtr2IIWX3) Y repito, son recomendaciones SEGURAS.

@kevinnbass It measures whole-body protein synthesis in an acute period. What those that use desperately want to say is that some of it is MPS, but of course many times whole-body shows no relationship with MPS https://t.co/da8ORFIAZQ https://t.co/dEQUXAqq7r

@kevinnbass This isn't a consistent finding in the literature, see: https://t.co/BZS3OXjb0n https://t.co/jZyBFRMcQ1 There are more ongoing trials though, will be interesting to see how all the data fit together.
