Carbohydrate co-ingestion with protein does not further augment post-prandial muscle protein accretion in older men

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>A blunted muscle protein synthetic response to protein ingestion may contribute to the age related loss of muscle tissue. We hypothesized that the greater endogenous insulin release following co-ingestion of carbohydrate facilitates...
