Protein Considerations for Optimising Skeletal Muscle Mass in Healthy Young and Older Adults

Protein Considerations for Optimising Skeletal Muscle Mass in Healthy Young and Older Adults

Skeletal muscle is critical for human health. Protein feeding, alongside resistance exercise, is a potent stimulus for muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and is a key factor that regulates skeletal muscle mass (SMM). The main purpose of this narrative review was to evaluate the latest evidence for optim...
