Plasma insulin responses after ingestion of different amino acid or protein mixtures with carbohydrate
TL;DR: An amino acid and protein (hydrolysate) mixture with a maximal insulinotropic effect when co-ingested with carbohydrate can be applied as a nutritional supplement to strongly elevate insulin concentrations and is positively correlated with plasma leucine, phenylalanine, and tyrosines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maximizing postexercise muscle glycogen synthesis: carbohydrate supplementation and the application of amino acid or protein hydrolysate mixtures
TL;DR: This study investigated whether an increase in carbohydrate intake, ingestion of a mixture of protein hydrolysate and amino acids in combination with carbohydrate, or both results in higher postexercise muscle glycogen synthesis rates than does ingestion of 0.8 g*kg(-1)*h(-)(1) carbohydrate, provided at 30-min intervals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does nutrition play a role in the prevention and management of sarcopenia
Sian M. Robinson,Jacques Reginster,René Rizzoli,Sarah Shaw,John A. Kanis,Ivan Bautmans,Heike A. Bischoff-Ferrari,Olivier Bruyère,Matteo Cesari,Bess Dawson-Hughes,Roger A. Fielding,JM Kaufman,Francesco Landi,Vincenzo Malafarina,Y. Rolland,L.J.C. van Loon,Bruno Vellas,Marjolein Visser,Cyrus Cooper +18 more
TL;DR: The review points to the importance of 'healthier' dietary patterns that are adequate in quality in older age, to ensure sufficient intakes of protein, vitamin D, antioxidant nutrients and long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Substantial skeletal muscle loss occurs during only 5 days of disuse.
Benjamin T. Wall,Marlou L. Dirks,Tim Snijders,Joan M. G. Senden,John Dolmans,L.J.C. van Loon +5 more
TL;DR: This work assessed the impact of 5 and 14 days of disuse on skeletal muscle mass, strength and associated intramuscular molecular signalling responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is proposed that sarcopenia may be optimally defined using a combination of measures of muscle mass and physical performance and co-primary outcomes, tailored to the specific intervention in question, may be the best way forward in this difficult but clinically important area.
