Timing of amino acid-carbohydrate ingestion alters anabolic response of muscle to resistance exercise:
http://ajpendo.physiology.org/cgi/co...ull/281/2/E197
The EAC (essential amino acid-carbohydrate supplement) consumed pre WO contained the following:
"The EAC consisted of 6 g of essential amino acids, in amounts designed to increase muscle free intracellular amino acid levels in proportion to their respective requirements for protein synthesis, and 35 g of sucrose in 500 ml of deionized-distilled water. The amounts of essential amino acids in a 500-ml bolus EAC solution were (mg and µmol, respectively) histidine 0.65, 4.2; isoleucine 0.60, 4.6; leucine 1.12, 8.5; lysine 0.93, 6.4; methionine 0.19, 1.3; phenylalanine 0.93, 5.6; threonine 0.88, 7.4; and valine 0.7, 6.0."
Author's Conclusion:
"The ingestion of a relatively small amount of essential amino acids, combined with carbohydrates, is an effective stimulator of net muscle protein synthesis. The stimulation of net muscle protein synthesis when EAC is consumed before exercise is superior to that when EAC is consumed after exercise. The combination of increased amino acid levels at a time when blood flow is increased appears to offer the maximum stimulation of muscle protein synthesis by increasing amino acid delivery to the muscle and thus amino acid availability."
