Figure 3

Plasma amino acids. Plasma concentrations (means ± SEM) of leucine, essentials amino acids (EAA), sum of amino acids (AA), isoleucine, valine and phenylalanine before and after ingestion (at T = 0) of the study products EXP (n = 9) and Control (n = 10). Baseline values were not different between groups. iAUC values for leucine, EAA and AA were significantly higher after ingestion of EXP vs Control (P < 0.001). For leucine and EAA, peak and change-from-baseline concentrations were also significantly higher after ingestion of EXP vs Control (P < 0.001).
