Background: Leucine is a key amino acid involved in the regulation of skeletal muscle
protein synthesis. Objective: We assessed the effect of the supplementation of a lower-
protein mixed macronutrient beverage with varying doses of leucine or a mixture of
branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) on myofibrillar protein synthesis (MPS) at rest and
after exercise. Design: In a parallel group design, 40 men (21�1 y) completed unilateral
knee-extensor resistance exercise before the ingestion of 25 g whey protein (W25)(3.0 g�…
