Fig. 2From: Anabolic response to essential amino acid plus whey protein composition is greater than whey protein alone in young healthy adultsTotal plasma essential amino acid (EAA) concentration (upper panel) and leucine concentration (lower panel) before and following consumption of one of two doses (6.3 g and 12.6 g) of the free EAA/protein composition or the whey protein product (17.9 g). Bar graphs on right represent the area under the curve for the response above baseline over the 4 h following consumption of each dose of free EAAs/protein and of whey protein. *Statistically different from High EAA, p < 0.05; #Statistically different between Low EAA and whey protein, p < 0.05Back to article page
