The relationship between protein intake (g per kg body weight) and whole body net anabolic response (protein synthesis – breakdown) following an individual mixed meal intake in older adults (52–75 yr): breakfast (closed triangle), lunch (closed circle), or dinner (closed rectangle) and young adults (18–40 yr, open circle). Linear regression analyses reveal that anabolic response was significantly related to dietary protein intake at levels of protein intake well beyond 0.4 g protein/kg body weight/meal: from references [18,19].
