Time course and incremental area under the curve (iAUC; calculated as above postaborptive values) of plasma total amino acids (TAA) (A and B), essential amino acids (EAA) (C and D), nonessential amino acids (NEAA) (E and F), and branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) (G and H) over a 3-h postabsorptive period (time course only) and 4-h postprandial period in healthy resistance-trained men. The dashed vertical line represents drink consumption [46.7 g of mycoprotein containing 25 g of protein (MYC; n = 11), 31.7 g of pea protein containing 25 g of protein (PEA; n = 11), or 36.9 g of mycoprotein/pea protein blend (39/61%) containing 25 g of protein (BLEND; n = 11)], following whole body resistance exercise. Time course data were analyzed using a two-way repeated-measures ANOVA (group × time) with Sidak post hoc tests used to detect differences at individual time points. iAUC data were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA. *Individual differences between MYC and PEA at that time point and a difference between conditions on the bar graphs (P < 0.05). #Individual differences between MYC and BLEND at that time point (P < 0.05). Time effect; all P < 0.0001. Group effect; P > 0.05. Time × group interaction; all P < 0.0001. Values are represented as means ± SE.
