The response of muscle protein synthesis following whole-body resistance exercise is greater following 40 g than 20 g of ingested whey protein

This 2016 randomized crossover study investigated the effect of ingesting 20 g versus 40 g of whey protein on muscle protein synthesis (MPS) following whole-body resistance exercise in young resistance-trained men. Using stable isotope tracers and muscle biopsies, the study found that 40 g of whey protein stimulated a significantly
