Excerpt
It has been shown that a potent stimulation of muscle protein metabolism in response to resistance exercise occurs after the ingestion of a combination glucose and a mixture of essential amino acids. Milk is an inexpensive and palatable alternative that both stimulates insulin and provides amino acids. However, the contribution of non-protein energy to muscle protein balance is unclear.
