Aging Is Accompanied by a Blunted Muscle Protein Synthetic Response to Protein Ingestion.

Aging Is Accompanied by a Blunted Muscle Protein Synthetic Response to Protein Ingestion.

Progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass with aging (sarcopenia) forms a global health concern. It has been suggested that an impaired capacity to increase muscle protein synthesis rates in response to protein intake is a key contributor to sarcopenia. We assessed whether differences in post-absorpt...
