Regulatory Roles of Essential Amino Acids, Energy, and Insulin in Mammary Cell Protein Synthesis

Dairy cows inefficiently convert dietary protein to milk protein causing economic and environmental costs. Amino acids (AA), insulin, and glucose significantly enhance muscle protein synthesis efficiencies. The objectives of this research project were 1) to investigate the regulatory effects of esse...
