The Claim
In humans, the ingestion of cricket, pea, or whey protein at a dose of 0.25 g/kg fat-free mass following acute resistance exercise does not differentially activate the mTORC1 signaling pathway in the exercised leg compared to the non-exercised leg, suggesting that resistance exercise does not enhance the molecular response to these protein sources within the measured timeframe.
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 a workout, drinking protein from cricket, pea, or whey doesn't seem to turn on muscle-building signals more than just taking the protein alone — at least not in the short term.
See the scientific wording
Resistance exercise combined with ingestion of cricket, pea, or whey protein at 0.25 g/kg fat-free mass does not lead to differential activation of the mTORC1 signaling pathway in the exercised versus non-exercised leg, indicating that acute resistance exercise does not amplify the molecular response to these protein sources within the timeframe measured.
What the research says
1 studyThe study looked at how different proteins affect muscle after exercise and found that none of them worked better than the others in turning on muscle-building signals, whether the leg was exercised or not.
