The Claim
In healthy young males, the ingestion of 0.25 g/kg fat-free mass of cricket, pea, or whey protein does not differentially activate the mTORC1 signaling pathway in skeletal muscle either at rest or following resistance exercise, indicating that these protein sources do not differ in their ability to trigger this molecular mechanism associated with muscle protein synthesis under the specified experimental conditions.
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.
In young, healthy guys, eating cricket, pea, or whey protein (based on body type) works the same for turning on a key muscle-building signal in the body — whether they’ve just worked out or not.
See the scientific wording
In healthy young males, ingestion of 0.25 g/kg fat-free mass of cricket, pea, or whey protein does not differentially activate the mTORC1 signaling pathway in skeletal muscle at rest or after resistance exercise, indicating no detectable difference in this molecular trigger for muscle protein synthesis between these protein sources under the tested conditions.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that cricket, pea, and whey protein worked the same way in turning on a key muscle-building signal after exercise, even though whey gave higher amino acid levels in the blood.
