Description
Žan Zupančič and colleagues ask whether whole foods deliver a promising muscle signal, the dipeptide dileucine, as well as powders promise, in this study from twenty twenty-six. Twenty-six adults in two trials ate pork, beans with rice, a matched drink, or carbohydrate after exercise, while blood and muscle protein synthesis were tracked.
Only low-fat pork raised plasma dileucine significantly. Ordinary leucine rose after most protein meals, highest after that same pork. The interesting link: each person's dileucine peak correlated modestly with how much their muscle protein synthesis rose, while their leucine peak did not correlate significantly. The authors caution that dileucine looks like one factor among several, but the result rescues whole foods, and pork in particular, into a conversation supplements had monopolized.
