Article Synopsis
- A systematic review and meta-analysis examined the effects of dietary protein supplementation on muscle mass and strength gains from resistance exercise training (RET) in adults.
- The analysis included data from 49 studies involving 1,863 participants, revealing that protein supplementation significantly increased strength, fat-free mass, and muscle size during prolonged RET.
- The efficacy of protein supplementation is lower in older adults and higher in those with prior resistance training experience, with no added benefits seen when protein intake exceeds approximately 1.6 grams per kilogram of body weight per day.

Article Abstract
Objective: We performed a systematic review, meta-analysis and meta-regression to determine if dietary protein supplementation augments resistance exercise training (RET)-induced gains in muscle mass and strength.
Data Sources: A systematic search of Medline, Embase, CINAHL and SportDiscus.
Eligibility Criteria: Only randomised controlled trials with RET ≥6 weeks in duration and dietary protein supplementation.
Design: Random-effects meta-analyses and meta-regressions with four a priori determined covariates. Two-phase break point analysis was used to determine the relationship between total protein intake and changes in fat-free mass (FFM).
Results: Data from 49 studies with 1863 participants showed that dietary protein supplementation significantly (all p<0.05) increased changes (means (95% CI)) in: strength-one-repetition-maximum (2.49 kg (0.64, 4.33)), FFM (0.30 kg (0.09, 0.52)) and muscle size-muscle fibre cross-sectional area (CSA; 310 µm (51, 570)) and mid-femur CSA (7.2 mm (0.20, 14.30)) during periods of prolonged RET. The impact of protein supplementation on gains in FFM was reduced with increasing age (-0.01 kg (-0.02,-0.00), p=0.002) and was more effective in resistance-trained individuals (0.75 kg (0.09, 1.40), p=0.03). Protein supplementation beyond total protein intakes of 1.62 g/kg/day resulted in no further RET-induced gains in FFM.
Summary/conclusion: Dietary protein supplementation significantly enhanced changes in muscle strength and size during prolonged RET in healthy adults. Increasing age reduces and training experience increases the efficacy of protein supplementation during RET. With protein supplementation, protein intakes at amounts greater than ~1.6 g/kg/day do not further contribute RET-induced gains in FFM.

This study investigates the effects of L-carnitine on nuclear maturation and fertilization in cattle and goat oocytes. Ovaries were collected from females with poor reproductive efficiency in the tropical climate, and cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were retrieved from large antral follicles. COCs were cultured with varying concentrations of L-carnitine (0, 0.

Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease characterized by oxidative stress and progressive motor neuron degeneration. This study evaluates the potential neuroprotective effects of caffeine in the Wobbler mouse, an established model of ALS.
Methods: Wobbler mice received caffeine supplementation (60 mg/kg/day) via drinking water, and key parameters, including muscle strength, NAD metabolism, oxidative stress, and motor neuron morphology, were assessed at critical disease stages.

This study investigated the effects of tea tree oil (TTO) protective effects against diquat (DIQ)-induced toxicity in chickens. 240 one-day-old Hy-Line W-36 laying chickens randomly allocated to one of two treatment groups: 1) chickens fed a basal diet and 2) chickens fed a diet supplemented with 200 ppm TTO. At 20 days of age, half of the chickens in each group were intraperitoneally injected with DIQ (20 mg per kg body weight), whereas the other half were injected with an equivalent amount of PBS.

Multivalent cations are commonly employed to accelerate sludge aggregation and granulation, yet they often compromise intragranular mass transfer and diminish microbial activity. Here, the effect of Fe(III) dosing on granule formation and anammox-driven nitrogen removal over a 110-day continuous operation was investigated. Fe(III) supplementation enhanced interactions with extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), transforming flocculent biomass into highly porous granules and yielding a 67.

Small antral follicles frequently undergo atresia due to inadequate gonadotropin support, characterized by reduced estrogen synthesis and granulosa cell (GC) apoptosis. The role of estrogen in regulating GC apoptosis during follicular atresia remains incompletely defined. Caprine small antral follicles (1-2 mm) were isolated and cultured in vitro under serum- and gonadotropin-free conditions to induce atresia, with or without 17β-estradiol (E) supplementation.
