A protein consists of amino acids (AA) linked by peptide bonds. Dietary protein is hydrolyzed
by proteases and peptidases to generate AA, dipeptides, and tripeptides in the lumen of the …

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are important nutrient signals that have direct and
indirect effects. Frequently, BCAAs have been reported to mediate antiobesity effects …

Abstract α-Lactalbumin is a whey protein that constitutes approximately 22% of the proteins

Skeletal muscle mass is regulated by a balance between muscle protein synthesis (MPS)
and muscle protein breakdown (MPB). In healthy humans, MPS is more sensitive (varying 4 …

High protein intake is common in western societies and is often promoted as part of a
healthy lifestyle; however, amino-acid-mediated mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) …

Milk proteins are known for their high nutritional quality, based on their essential amino acid
composition, and they exhibit a wide range of bioactivities, including satiety, antimicrobial …

Background It has been hypothesized that for older adults evenly distributing consumption of
