Info Timing protein intake differently could change hypertrophy?

In the study researchers fed mice varying amounts of protein at different times and measured muscle changes.

The researches found a 17% increase in muscle mass in the medium amount of protein for breakfast group compared to the group who ate higher amounts of protein at night.

To add onto this they also researched the effects on healthy, older women.
The study doesn't give exact numbers for this but the subjects showed ¨...that higher SMI and grip strength were observed in older women who ingested high protein at breakfast than in those with a high-protein meal at dinner.¨

Why does this happen?

Its due to two main factors, musclular circadian rythm and BCAA´s.

Our whole body has a internal clock governed by the CLOCK and Bmal1 genes, and due to that clock our muscles are more susceptible to protein synthesis and nutrient absorbtion.
Early in the active phase the LAT1 transporter and ribosome are much more sensitive to amino acid signals and optimize our muscles insulin sensitivity and nutrient efficiency.



To add on to this most proteins are made of BCAA´s (Branched-Chain Amino acids) which, when consumed early in the active phase signal ¨activates¨ muscle growth and hypertrophy
I would describe the process but it would take a while and doesnt really matter other then sounding smarter.
