Congrats to the newly minted Dr Pinckaers for successfully defending his thesis! Open-access available here: m3-research.nl/phd-theses/ Thanks to the opposition. Special thanks to Stuart Phillips (he/him) for coming over from Canada and also providing a Masterclass in muscle hypertrophy.

Combination of collagen and whey protein? Coingestion of Collagen With Whey Protein Prevents Postexercise Decline in Plasma Glycine Availability in Recreationally Active Men. Aussieker et al. in IJSNEMJournal , 2024 Link: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38604602/

Our new review. Includes discussion on: - methods to assess protein metabolism - impact of the duration of the assessment period - why previous claims of large postprandial decreases in protein breakdown are methodological artefacts. Open-access: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

🚨JULY LEAD ARTICLE🚨 ‘Co-ingestion of a small amount of collagen (5g) with whey protein (25g) is sufficient to prevent the decline in plasma glycine availability during recovery from lower body resistance type exercise in recreationally active males’ - Aussieker et al. (2024)

Our recent work on collagen-whey protein co-ingestion was chosen as the July lead article in IJSNEMJournal!

Milk vs pea protein. Post-prandial muscle protein synthesis rates following the ingestion of pea-derived protein do not differ from ingesting an equivalent amount of milk-derived protein in healthy, young males. Pinckears et al, Eur J Nutr, 2024 Link: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38228945/

Our m3-research group had a great time at ECSS in Glasgow. We were fortunate to have received three YIA awards: - Cas Fuchs: MRS & liver glycogen repletion - Wesley Hermans: Insect protein & MPS - Glenn van Lieshout: Protein glycation & MPS Publications will follow soon!

Prof. van Loon was on the Dr. Rhonda Patrick podcast. See the post below for a detailed list of the discussed topics with timestamps.

Sauna vs muscle protein synthesis Repeated passive heat treatment increases muscle tissue capillarization, but does not affect postprandial muscle protein synthesis rates in healthy older adults. Fuchs et al, Journal of Physiology, 2024 Link: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39373667/

Whey plus collagen blend. Ingestion of a Whey Plus Collagen Protein Blend Increases Myofibrillar and Muscle Connective Protein Synthesis Rates Aussieker et al. Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2024 Reference: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39501478/

The main study of my PhD is now online! We investigated whether 8 weeks of aerobic exercise ‘preconditioning’ (to improve muscle fiber capillarization) augments muscle hypertrophy during subsequent resistance exercise training in older adults. 1/6 link.springer.com/article/10.100…
