Transcriptome and translational signaling following endurance exercise in trained skeletal muscle: impact of dietary protein. Homo sapiens

Impact of protein ingestion following 1 h intense cycling on the induced transcriptome and signaling in biopsy samples from endurance-trained men, relative to isocaloric control Overall design: Single blind, randomized, crossover design comprising two experimental blocks. During the blocks, exercise and diet were controlled and the intervention consisted of the ingestion of a protein-enriched and control beverage, with outcome measures obtained from skeletal muscle tissue collected following a bout of intense cycling. Total RNA were obtained from quadriceps. Each of the two serves were isocaloric and provided 0.2 g/kg fat (freeze dried canola oil) with either 1.2 g/kg carbohydrate (1:1 maltodextrin:fructose) and 0.4 g/kg protein (2:1 milk protein concentrate:whey isolate); or 1.6 g/kg carbohydrate (1:1 maltodextrin:fructose).
