Abstract
We have investigated the effects of adding dairy protein to the diet of older adults on muscle mass, muscle strength, physical performance and inflammation, and if there are differences in the response of immune-related markers in skeletal muscle and white blood cells (PBMCs) after strength exercise combined with different protein source (milk and whey). Compared to an isocaloric carbohydrate drink, increased protein intake did not improve the markers investigated, and different types of dairy protein exerted similar effects on immune-related markers. However, combined strength training and protein supplementation caused an acute increase of several immune-related markers in both skeletal muscle and PBMCs, possibly being important contributors to muscle repair, regeneration and adaptive processes. Eleven weeks of strength training caused reduced levels of immune-related markers in PBMCs, possibly contributing to the immune-modulating effects observed after exercise. Furthermore, skeletal muscle and PBMCs may provide complementary insight into the molecular response to exercise and protein supplementation rather than simply reflecting each other.List of papers
