When measuring overall muscle building over several hours, milk protein showed the highest total effect, then caseinate, whey, and soy, but the numbers weren't statistically tested.
Scientific Claim
In male Sprague-Dawley rats subjected to two hours of swimming exercise, the area under the curve for fractional synthesis rate over 30-240 minutes was highest for milk protein concentrate (534.61), followed by caseinate (498.22), whey protein concentrate (473.46), and soy protein concentrate (406.18), though statistical analysis was not performed on these values.
Original Statement
“Although statistical analysis could not be performed, the calculated the area under the curve (AUC) values for FSR following this trend were: MP, 534.61; CA, 498.22; WP, 473.46; and SP, 406.18.”
Evidence Quality Assessment
Claim Status
appropriately stated
Study Design Support
Design supports claim
Appropriate Language Strength
definitive
Can make definitive causal claims
Assessment Explanation
The claim accurately states the observed AUC values and notes the absence of statistical analysis, which aligns with the study's design and reporting.
