Muscle protein synthesis is a naturally occurring process in which protein is produced to repair muscle damage caused by intense exercise. It is an opposing force to muscle protein breakdown (MPB) in which protein is lost as a result of exercise. Both amino acids (AA) and resistance exercise (RE) can stimulate MPS. When combined, they […]
