Summary

Increasing muscle protein synthesis via protein-based nutrition, with or without exercise, maintains a strong, healthy muscle mass, which in turn leads to improved health, independence and functionality in older adults. There is increased interest in plant-based proteins, but these have in general a lower anabolic effect than animal proteins. Various strategies have been suggested to augment the anabolic properties of plant proteins, including using plant-animal protein blends. However, only little is known yet about the anabolic properties of such an approach. As the peripheral metabolic availability of proteins is an important aspect that has to be taken into account when screening the anabolic properties of protein sources/blends, it is the aim of this study to investigate the postprandial AA response of milk protein, micellar casein, pea protein, and a milk protein-pea protein blend in healthy older adults.
