Free Amino Acid–Enriched Diets Containing Rapidly but Not Slowly Digested Carbohydrate Promote Amino Acid Absorption from Intestine and Net Fluxes across Skeletal Muscle of Pigs
Abstract:Background
The approach to matching appropriate carbohydrates alongside free amino acids to achieve optimal muscle growth remains unclear.
Objectives
We investigated whether the consumption of a diet containing rapidly digested carbohydrate and free amino acids can enhance intestinal absorption and muscular uptake of amino acids in pigs.
