Pre-Sleep Protein Ingestion Does Not Compromise the Muscle Protein Synthetic Response the Following

Exercise augments the muscle protein synthetic response to every meal within a given time a.k.a the anabolic window to maximise muscle gains post-exercise. The current study not only shows that digestion and absorption kinetics of protein are undisturbed the following morning after pre-sleep protein feeding, but also that the "anabolic window" persists up to 17-hr after exercise ๐ณ

Primary takeaways from the current study: โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ
1. Pre-sleep protein feeding is an effective strategy to promote skeletal muscle remodelling ๐ช

2. The post-workout anabolic window is much larger than previously thought โ๏ธ๏ธ
