NTRODUCTION:
We have previously shown that protein ingestion prior to sleep increases overnight muscle protein synthesis rates. Whether prior exercise further augments the muscle protein synthetic response to pre-sleep protein ingestion remains to be established.
OBJECTIVE:
To assess whether resistance-type exercise performed in the evening increases the overnight muscle protein synthetic response to pre-sleep protein ingestion.
METHODS:
Twenty four healthy young men were randomly assigned to ingest 30 g intrinsically L-[1-C]-phenylalanine and L-[1-C]-leucine labeled casein protein before going to sleep with (PRO+EX: n=12) or without (PRO: n=12) prior resistance-type exercise performed in the evening. Continuous intravenous L-[ring-H5]-phenylalanine, L-[1-C]-leucine and L-[ring-H2]-tyrosine infusions were applied. Blood and muscle tissue samples were collected to assess whole-body protein balance, myofibrillar protein synthesis rates and overnight incorporation of dietary protein-derived amino acids into de novo myofibrillar protein.
RESULTS:
A total of 57±1% of the ingested protein-derived phenylalanine appeared in the circulation during overnight sleep. Overnight myofibrillar protein synthesis rates were 37% (0.055±0.002 vs 0.040±0.003 %[BULLET OPERATOR]h, P<0.001; based upon L-[ring-H5]-phenylalanine) and 31% (0.073±0.004 vs 0.055±0.006 %[BULLET OPERATOR]h, P=0.024; based upon L-[1-C]-leucine) higher in PRO+EX compared to PRO. Substantially more of the dietary protein-derived amino acids were incorporated into de novo myofibrillar protein during overnight sleep in PRO+EX compared to PRO (0.026±0.003 vs 0.015±0.003 MPE, P=0.012).
CONCLUSIONS:
Resistance-type exercise performed in the evening augments the overnight muscle protein synthetic response to pre-sleep protein ingestion and allows more of the ingested protein-derived amino acids to be used for de novo myofibrillar protein synthesis during overnight sleep.
