Does the Ingestion of Mycoprotein Elicit an Optimal Anabolic Response in Resting and Exercised Skeletal Muscle?

Does the Ingestion of Mycoprotein Elicit an Optimal Anabolic Response in Resting and Exercised Skeletal Muscle?

The present study will seek to quantify the muscle protein synthetic response to mycoprotein feeding, comparing it to milk protein as a gold standard and heavily researched positive control
