The Study:A study just published in The Journal of Nutrition (137:357-362, 2007) reports that consuming Soy Protein or Whey Protein synthesizes skeletal muscle at comparable rates after exercise.Researchers from the Indiana University School of Medicine in Evansville assessed skeletal muscle synthesis in 3 groups of treadmill-acclimated rats given Soy Protein or Whey Protein after exercise. Groups were given either Carbohydrates-Only (C), Carbohydrates and Soy Protein (CS), or Carbohydrates and Whey Protein (CW)—one hour after a 2-1/2 hour treadmill run. Insulin and BCAA (Branched-Chain Amino Acids) concentrations were higher in the CS and CW groups, with serum Leucine and Isoleucine the highest in the CW group. Compared with the C group, both CS and CW increased protein synthesis in skeletal muscle. Researchers concluded Soy Protein and Whey Protein in the skeletal muscle of exercised rats synthesize protein at comparable measures after strenuous exercise.The Inside Scoop:So are the
