Do increased levels of EAAs alone stimulate muscle protein synthesis (MPS)? Are carbohydrates required at the same time? Is insulin responsible f...

Is egg protein and peanut protein really equivalent? Well, the USDA's Dietary guidelines for Americans (DGA) seems to think so. The authors of the ...

If essential amino acids (EAAs) stimulate muscle protein synthesis (MPS), can we just sip on them all day long to keep our EAA levels high and buil...

Muscle mass isn't just for bodybuilders and athletes! Instead, muscle mass acts as the primary "reservoir" for amino acids in the body to maintain ...

Which provides a greater anabolic effect: an EAA supplement or a mixed-meal containing an equivalent amount of EAAs? What is the effect of EAA supp...

Muscle mass loss is present in 25–30% of children with Cystic Fibrosis and is associated with reduced lung function and bone mineral loss. Could EA...

What regulates muscle protein synthesis? Exercise, nutrition, both? This study concludes that "plasma concentrations of EAA regulate muscle protein...

Weight loss strategies for obese, elderly individuals face multifaceted clinical challenges as the mortality risk of muscle loss may exceed the pot...

Objective: We assessed whether nonessential amino acids are required in a nutritional supplement to stimulate muscle protein anabolism in the elder...

Can both young and old benefit from EAAs? Yes! In this study, researchers concluded that "although the influence of insulin and the time course of ...

 We conclude that the stimulatory effect of exogenous amino acids on muscle protein synthesis is enhanced by prior exercise, perhaps in part becaus...

Do oral EAA supplements increase positive muscle protein balance? YES! Are nonessential amino acids (NEAAs) necessary to include with EAAs post-ex...
