The Effect of Menstrual Cycle Phase on Muscle Protein Synthesis

NCT06268678 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 14

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The combination of dietary protein ingestion and resistance exercise are essential to increase muscle protein synthesis. The vast majority of studies assessing protein intake following resistance exercise in young adults has been conducted exclusively in men or in studies where both men and women are assessed. The increase in muscle mass is thought to be impacted by sex hormones that fluctuate across different phases of the menstrual cycle. However, the effect of menstrual cycle phase on muscle protein synthesis following exercise is not known.
