Myofibrillar protein fractional synthetic rates (FSRs) calculated using the plasma l-[ring-²H₅]phenylalanine precursor pool for a postabsorptive (basal), exercise, and temporal postprandial periods (0–2 h and 2–4 h) (A) and a total 4-h postprandial period (B) for mycoprotein (MYC), pea protein (PEA), and mycoprotein/pea protein blend (BLEND) conditions. Postprandial state represents a 4-h period following 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. Data were analyzed using a two-way (group × time) ANOVA. *A significant difference between basal and postexercise postprandial conditions (group × time interaction; P < 0.0001). Time effect; P < 0.0001. Group effect; P > 0.05. Values are represented as means ± SE.
