The Claim
Postexercise ingestion of a soy-dairy protein blend or whey protein, when matched for leucine content, increases myofibrillar protein synthesis to a similar extent in young adult men, with no statistically significant difference between the two protein sources.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
After exercise, young adult men who consume either a soy-dairy protein blend or whey protein with equal leucine levels experience the same increase in muscle protein synthesis.
See the scientific wording
Postexercise ingestion of either a soy-dairy protein blend or whey protein increases myofibrillar protein synthesis to a similar extent in young adult men, with no statistically significant difference between the two protein sources when matched for leucine content.
After exercise, eating protein increases amino acids in the blood, which signals muscle cells to make more transporters that pull amino acids inside. More amino acids inside the muscle activate a key growth pathway that turns on the building of new muscle fibers.
What the research says
1 studyAfter a workout, both soy-dairy protein and whey protein helped build muscle at the same rate, as long as they had the same amount of leucine. The study proved they work just as well for muscle growth.
