"Muscle Protein Breakdown in Response to Nutrition and Exercise" with Professor Kevin Tipton

We Do Science - The Sports Nutrition Podcast

Episode 150 of the Institute of Performance Nutrition's "We Do Science" podcast! In this episode, I (Laurent Bannock) discuss "Muscle Protein Breakdown in Response to Nutrition and Exercise" with Professor Kevin Tipton PhD (UK).

Discussion Topics Include:

• Overview of Muscle Protein Breakdown (MPB) as an important metabolic component of muscle remodelling, adaptation to training, and increasing muscle mass.
• Role of resistance exercise on MPB and Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS).
• Practical nutrition recommendations for interventions to suppress MPB: a worthwhile strategy or not? What the evidence actually tells us is explored!
• Can nutrition impact any individual muscle protein?
• Why strategies aimed at optimising post exercise nutrition should focus on the response of muscle protein synthesis.
