"Muscle Protein Synthesis and Response to Exercise & Nutrition" with Professor Kevin Tipton

Episode 153 of the Institute of Performance Nutrition's "We Do Science" podcast! In this episode, I (Laurent Bannock) discuss "Muscle Protein Synthesis and Exercise & Nutrition" with Professor Kevin Tipton (The Institute of Performance Nutrition, UK).

Discussion Topics Include:

• Defining Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS)
• Acute MPS and Muscle Hypertrophy: The Relevance and Uncertainty
• MPS is not just Hypertrophy, but also Remodelling and Rapair
• Training Status and MPS
• Methods of Measurement
• Methodological Issues in Research & How this Should Impact Translation into Practice
• Physiology and MPS

Key Paper(s) Discussed / Referred to:

• What is the relationship between the acute muscle protein synthesis response and changes in muscle mass?
• ARE NOT INTRACELLULAR HEAT AND NEURAL ELECTRICITY STRESSES THE CAUSE OF EXERCISE-INDUCED PROTEIN SYNTHESIS?
• A Review of Resistance Training-Induced Changes in Skeletal Muscle Protein Synthesis and Their Contribution to Hypertrophy
• The development of skeletal muscle hypertrophy through resistance training: the role of muscle damage and muscle protein synthesis
