Effects of acute and chronic strength training on skeletal muscle autophagy in frail elderly men and women
Aas, Sigve Nyvik; Tømmerbakke, Daniel; Godager, Sindre; Nordseth, Martin; Armani, Andrea; Sandri, Marco; Benestad, Haakon Breien; Raastad, Truls (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Aging is associated with alterations in skeletal muscle autophagy, potentially affecting both muscle mass and quality in a negative manner. Strength training with protein supplementation has been reported to improve both ... -
Native whey induces similar post exercise muscle anabolic responses as regular whey, despite greater leucinemia, in elderly individuals
Hamarsland, Håvard; Aas, Sigve Nyvik; Nordengen, Anne Lene; Holte, Kari; Garthe, Ina; Paulsen, Gøran; Cotter, Matthew; Børsheim, Elisabet; Benestad, Haakon Breien; Raastad, Truls (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Objective: Elderly muscle seems less sensitive to the anabolic stimulus of a meal. Changes in blood concentrations of leucine are suggested as one important trigger of the anabolic response in muscle. The aim of this study ... -
Native whey protein with high levels of leucine results in similar post-exercise muscular anabolic responses as regular whey protein: A randomized controlled trial
Hamarsland, Håvard; Nordengen, Anne Lene; Aas, Sigve Nyvik; Holte, Kristin Tosterud; Garthe, Ina; Paulsen, Gøran; Cotter, Matthew; Børsheim, Elisabet; Benestad, Haakon Breien; Raastad, Truls (Academic article, 2017-11-21)Protein ingestion produces a strong anabolic stimulus that elevates muscle protein synthesis [34]. The ability of a serving of protein to stimulate muscle protein synthesis (MPS) is dependent on absorption and blood kinetics ... -
No Difference Between Spray Dried Milk and Native Whey Supplementation with Strength Training
Hamarsland, Håvard; Handegard, Vilde; Kåshagen, Mauritz; Benestad, Haakon Breien; Raastad, Truls (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background: A rapid digestibility and high leucine content are considered important for maximal stimulation of muscle protein synthesis. Consequently, with these properties, native whey may hold greater anabolic potential ... -
Strength training and protein supplementation improve muscle mass, strength, and function in mobility-limited older adults: a randomized controlled trial
Aas, Sigve Nyvik; Seynnes, Olivier R.; Benestad, Haakon Breien; Raastad, Truls (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background Adaptation to strength training in very old mobility-limited individuals is not fully characterized. Therefore, the aim of this study was to perform a thorough investigation of the adaptation to a lower body ...
