"In conclusion, muscle protein accrual in elderly is greater following ingestion of 15 g of whey protein than ingestion of its constituent EAA content, and this may be explained, at least in part, by a greater insulin response. Our findings suggest that stimulation of skeletal muscle protein accrual in the elderly by whey protein, at least in the amount ingested in the present study, is mediated by mechanisms that are beyond those attributed to the essential amino acids in whey protein."
