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

Pre-sleep protein ingestion does not compromise muscle protein synthesis the following morning 🛌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 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 😳 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Primary takeaways from the current study: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. Pre-sleep protein feeding is an effective strategy to promote skeletal muscle remodelling 💪 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. The post-workout anabolic window is much larger than previously thought ☝️️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Link to the abstract of the current study by Wall and colleagues can be found here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/27780822/ 👈
