Abstract

We aimed to compare the impacts of ingesting lesser mealworm and milk-derived protein on protein digestion and amino acid absorption kinetics, postprandial skeletal muscle protein synthesis rates, and the incorporation of dietary protein-derived amino acids into de novo muscle protein at rest and during recovery from exercise in vivo in humans.
