Blunted Muscle Protein Synthetic Response To Feeding And Resistance Exercise In Obese Young Adults

Obesity induces anabolic resistance of myofibrillar protein synthesis rates (MPS) to the ingestion of a protein-dense food in young adults. However, the effectiveness of acute resistance exercise before food ingestion to enhance the amino acid sensitivity of MPS with obesity has not been examined. PURPOSE: To compare the impact of resistance exercise on MPS responses to protein-dense food ingestion in normal-weight (NW) and obese (OB) young...
