In the first four hours following protein ingestion, the study observed a 20% higher rate of muscle protein synthesis in participants who consumed 100 grams of protein compared to those who ingested 25 grams. This difference became even more pronounced during the 4–12 hour postprandial period, where the muscle protein synthesis rates were 40% higher in the 100-gram group. Overall, this equated to a 30% larger synthetic response after consuming 100 grams of protein, as opposed to 25 grams.
