- Sarcopenia: Its assessment, etiology, pathogenesis, consequences and future perspectives (2008, background): “It has been recently reported that essential amino acids stimulate protein anabolism in elderly whereas nonessential amino acids add no effect in association to essential amino acids (208, 262).”
- A high proportion of leucine is required for optimal stimulation of the rate of muscle protein synthesis by essential amino acids in the elderly. (2006, background): “Among the blood amino acids, the essential amino acids (EAAs) are primarily responsible for the regulation of muscle protein synthesis (34), and among the EAAs, leucine is recognized to have a particular role in the regulation of muscle protein synthesis (11).”
- Whey protein stimulates postprandial muscle protein accretion more effectively than do casein and casein hydrolysate in older men. (2011, background): “Ingestion of a meal-like amount of protein in the form of free amino acids (6, 7), milk protein (8), or beef (9) strongly stimulates skeletal muscle protein synthesis.”
- International Society of Sports Nutrition Position Stand: protein and exercise (2017, result): “Subsequently, these conclusions were supported by Borsheim [52] and Volpi [53].”
- Protein intake and exercise for optimal muscle function with aging: Recommendations from the ESPEN Expert Group (2014, background): “Branched chain amino acids (BCAA), especially leucine, positively regulate signaling pathways for synthesis of muscle proteins [56].”
