The Claim
In recreationally active young men, mitochondrial protein synthesis rates during the 6-hour post-exercise recovery period following concurrent resistance- and endurance-type exercise are not significantly different when milk, whey, or casein protein are each co-ingested with 45 grams of carbohydrate, suggesting that the type of dietary protein does not selectively affect acute mitochondrial biogenesis signaling.
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.
For young guys who work out regularly, drinking milk, whey, or casein after a mixed workout doesn’t make a difference in how their muscles rebuild energy parts in the first 6 hours — as long as they also get 45 grams of carbs.
See the scientific wording
In recreationally active young men, mitochondrial protein synthesis rates over 6 hours after concurrent resistance- and endurance-type exercise are not significantly different between milk, whey, or casein protein when each is co-ingested with 45 grams of carbohydrate, indicating that protein source does not selectively influence mitochondrial biogenesis in the acute recovery phase.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that drinking milk, whey, or casein protein with carbs after exercise leads to the same amount of mitochondrial repair and growth in young active men, so the type of protein doesn’t matter for this process.
