Anabolisches In-vivo- und In-vitro-Potenzial essentieller Aminosäuren nach Widerstandsübungen (DiEx)
This study seeks to investigate the anabolic potential of a dileucine-enriched essential amino acid (EAA) formulation compared with a branched chain amino acid (BCAA) alternative and a collagen beverage on muscle protein anabolism and catabolism following a bout of resistance exercise training. To do this, investigators will employ a novel 'breath test' method developed in our laboratory as well as blood and urine sampling. The results of this study will allow us to better understand the anabolic potential of dileucine which could have implications for people engaging in regular resistance training (such as athletes) as well as people that need to preserve muscle mass (older people who are susceptible to anabolic resistance and sarcopenia, or muscle wasting).

Whole-Body Protein Synthesis
Zeitfenster: 6 hours
|
Investigators will measure the enrichment of [13CO2] in the breath by isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) in atom percent excess (APE). The measurement of carbon dioxide production (VCO2) and stable isotope tracer enrichment in the breath allows for the assessment of the rate at which amino acids are used for energy (i.e., oxidized), rather than for protein synthesis (i.e., retained in the body) by calculating the fraction of expired CO2 that contains 13C. Leucine retention (umol/kg) will then be calculated from the difference between the known amount of leucine provided (ingested) and leucine oxidation (as determined from 13CO2 breath enrichment). |

Urinary Measures (Muscle Protein Breakdown)
Zeitfenster: 6 hours

Investigators will measure urinary 3-methylhistidine (3MH) as an indirect marker of muscle protein breakdown over the course of the trial (6 hours) through pooled urine collection vs baseline urine. |

Murine Cell-Based Experiments (ex-vivo experiments) -hypertrophy
Zeitfenster: 60 minutes
|
Investigators will use human serum obtained from fasted and fed timepoints (15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes following beverage consumption) to condition cell culture media (20% volume). To determine the effects of using fasted and/or fed 'human-conditioned' culture media on cell growth, myotube diameter (hypertrophy) will be measured via microscopy following short term (4 hours) and long-term (24 hour) incubation in the human conditioned culture media. |

Investigators will use human serum obtained from fasted and fed timepoints (15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes following beverage consumption) to condition cell culture media (20% volume). To determine the effects of using fasted and/or fed 'human-conditioned' culture media on cell protein synthesis, puromycin incorporation (measure of protein synthesis) will be measured via western blot. |
