Abstract
Fish oil (FO) supplementation potentiates muscle protein synthesis (MPS) in response to a hyperaminoacidemic-hyperinsulinemic infusion. WhetherFOsupplementation potentiatesMPSin response to protein ingestion or when protein ingestion is combined with resistance exercise (RE) remains unknown. In a randomized, parallel group design, 20 healthy males were randomized to receive 5 g/day of eitherFOor coconut oil control (CO) for 8 weeks. After supplementation, participants performed a bout of unilateralREfollowed by ingestion of 30 g of whey protein. Skeletal muscle biopsies were obtained before and after supplementation for assessment of muscle lipid composition and relevant protein kinase activities. Infusion ofl-[ring-(13)C6] phenylalanine was used to measure basal myofibrillarMPSat rest (REST), in a nonexercised leg following protein ingestion (FED) and followingREand protein ingestion (FEDEX).MPSwas significantly elevated aboveRESTduringFEDEXin both theFOandCOgroups, but there was no effect of supplementation. There was a significant increase inMPSin both groups aboveRESTduringFEDbut no effect of supplementation. Supplementation significantly decreased panPKBactivity atRESTin theFOgroup but not theCOgroup. There was a significant increase fromRESTat post-REforPKBandAMPKα2 activity in theCOgroup but not in theFOgroup. InFEDEX, there was a significant increase in p70S6K1 activity fromRESTat 3 h in theCOgroup only. These data highlight that 8 weeks ofFOsupplementation alters kinase signaling activity in response toREplus protein ingestion without influencingMPS.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 248. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 July 2023.
All research outputs
#160,660
of 26,625,282 outputs
Outputs from Physiological Reports
#16
of 3,065 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#2,698
of 316,332 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Physiological Reports
#1
of 51 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,625,282 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 99th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,065 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.5. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 316,332 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 51 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% of its contemporaries.
