Abstract

We examined the aminoacidemic, glycemic, and insulinemic responses following ingestion of 25 g of native whey protein, micellar casein, and a 1:1 blend of whey and casein in randomized order in young adult men. Blood samples were drawn at baseline and at regular intervals for 6 h following ingestion. Area under curve and peak plasma essential amino acid concentrations after the ingestion of the protein blend were similar to whey and greater compared with casein.

Keywords: acide aminé; amino acid; leucine; muscle; protein synthesis; supplementation; supplémentation; synthèse des protéines.
