Surprising Findings
AUC values weren't statistically analyzed despite being highlighted as key evidence
AUC is typically a critical metric for comparing protein efficacy, yet the study explicitly states no statistical testing was done on these numbers
Practical Takeaways
Use dairy proteins post-workout for potential muscle benefits

Whey protein maximizes muscle protein synthesis, steak provides higher nutrient density, and collagen specifically supports connective tissue repair and recovery.
When rats swam for two hours and then consumed whey protein, their muscle building rate peaked at 60 minutes with a value of 7.76% per day.
When rats swam for two hours and then consumed milk protein, their muscle building rate peaked at 90 minutes with a value of 8.34% per day.
When rats swam for two hours and then consumed caseinate, their muscle building rate peaked at 120 minutes with a value of 7.85% per day.
When rats swam for two hours and consumed dairy proteins (whey, milk, or caseinate), their muscle building rates were higher than those eating soy protein at specific times after eating.
