Article Synopsis
- Age-related muscle loss can lead to decreased lean body mass and strength, affecting the quality of life in older adults, making nutritional strategies important for prevention.
- The study tested a nighttime dietary supplement with 25 g of milk proteins on middle-aged males to see its impact on whole body protein balance and muscle protein synthesis overnight.
- Results showed that the supplement improved protein balance but did not affect muscle protein synthesis rates despite increased amino acids in the blood, suggesting that taking protein before bed could help prevent overnight muscle loss.
Background & Aims: Protein content of a meal is hypothesized to drive DIT dose-dependently. However, no single meal study exists comparing two different doses of protein on DIT. In addition, the source of protein, particularly whey protein, was shown to have a higher DIT than casein and soy in the acute setting, however the mechanism behind this difference is not yet clear.

Recent studies have demonstrated a direct link between increased exogenous CHO oxidation (CHOexog) and enhanced performance. The limiting factor for CHOexog appears to be at the level of intestinal transporters, with sodium/glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1) and glucose transporter Type 5 (GLUT5) responsible for glucose and fructose transport, respectively. Studies in animal models have shown that SGLT1 and intestinal glucose uptake are up-regulated by high carbohydrate diets or noncaloric sweeteners.
