Previous "wisdom" was that there is/was an anabolic window of 30-60mins post workout, and limited to approx 20grams of protein uptake, with the rest being excreted. Current trends show that it doesn't matter when you ingest your protein (before/after, or much after), nor how much of it at one sitting, as long as you take that protein. So I guess the study is trying to scientifically justify that trend, as well as posit that there is no limit (since they said the 100g ingestion showed substantially higher amino acids in circulation "We observed higher plasma, muscle, and whole-body protein synthesis rates following the ingestion of 100 g protein when compared to 25 g protein and placebo, respectively. The greater metabolic responses were present during the early postprandial phase (0–4 h) but were even more pronounced during the prolonged postprandial phase (4–12 h)." And for the protein they used, looks like just concentrate from a specific lactating cow (talk about controlled source!): "In the present study, milk protein was applied because it is the food item with the largest contribution to daily protein intake in the Western world. Because milk protein consists of 20% rapid digestible whey protein and 80% slowly digestible casein protein, it could be speculated that a more prolonged anabolic response to protein ingestion is unique to slowly digestible proteins." Sample size of 36 males, between 18-40, doing leg press/extension, chest press, lat pulldowns.
