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

β-Lactoglobulin Enhances Clay and Activated Carbon Binding and Protection Properties for Cadmium and Lead

This 2024 in vitro study explored the use of β-lactoglobulin, a whey protein, to enhance the heavy metal-binding capabilities of clay and activated carbon for detoxifying cadmium and lead. Researchers found that combining β-lactoglobulin with these adsorbents significantly increased their binding capacity, likely due to the protein’s chelating properties, which
