Summary

In a crossover design 10 young healthy adults (20-35 y) will receive stable isotope tracer infusions and perform a single bout of resistance exercise. Immediately after exercise participants will ingest either 246 g of rice and beans or its constituent macronutrients as isolated amino acids, carbohydrates, fiber, and fat. Repeated blood and muscle biopsies will be collected to determine amino acid concentrations, anabolic signaling and myofibrillar protein synthesis rates during the trials.
