Abstract
Randomized trial of pre-sleep casein protein on overnight post-exercise protein synthesis.
Key Findings
Casein protein ingested before sleep was effectively digested and absorbed overnight and increased whole-body protein synthesis and muscle protein synthesis rates during overnight recovery.
Conclusions
Pre-sleep casein improves overnight post-exercise recovery.
Limitations
Small sample of young men, acute overnight measurement only.
Supplements Studied
Casein protein ingested before sleep was effectively digested and absorbed overnight and increased whole-body protein synthesis and muscle protein synthesis rates during overnight recovery.
Outcomes Measured
Casein protein ingested before sleep was effectively digested and absorbed overnight and increased whole-body protein synthesis and muscle protein synthesis rates during overnight recovery.
