Outputs Target Audience:The target audience is U.S. adults. Outcomes of this work will be especially relevant to geriatrics, obese populations, and populations with poor economic status. Changes/Problems:
Nothing Reported
What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Undergraduate and graduate students were involved in performing this research and received 'hands-on' experience in performing in vivo human metabolic research. Moreover, the work was accepted in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, thereby providing research exposure to all co-authors. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?We have presented our work at national conferences as well as published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?

Impacts What was accomplished under these goals?
We showed that whole egg consumption was more effective for the postprandial stimulation of muscle protein synthesis rates during recovery from resistance exercise when compared to the ingestion of iso-nitrogenous amounts of egg whites. Thus, our data supports the concept that eating protein within its natural food matrix is an optimal strategy for muscle mass maintenance.

Consumption of whole eggs promotes greater stimulation of postexercise muscle protein synthesis than consumption of isonitrogenous amounts of egg whites in young men. Am. J. Clin.

What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Undergraduate and graduate students were involved in performing this research and received 'hands-on' experience in performing in vivo human metabolic research. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?We have submitted four conference abstracts related to this work to be presented at Experimential Biology in April 2017. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?The manuscript is currently being drafted and we expect to submit to a top tier nutrition journal.
Impacts What was accomplished under these goals?
We have idenified that consuming whole eggs does not modulate the appearance rates of dietary protein derived amino acids into circulation, but provides a stronger stimulatory signal for muscle protein synthesis rates when compared to only consuming egg whites.
