Résumé

Key points During ageing, there is a lack of recovery of muscle mass following immobilization. We showed, in old rats, an anabolic resistance of muscle protein synthesis to food intake during immobilization and only a slight increase of protein synthesis during the recovery, which explain a poor muscle nitrogen balance that is insufficient to induce a muscle mass gain. A supplementation with free leucine, an essential amino acid known to stimulate muscle protein metabolism, was efficient in inducing a greater anabolism but failed to induce muscle mass recovery. This discrepancy was explained by a desynchronization between the leucine signal and amino acids coming from dietary protein digestion. An induction of a larger increase and a longer availability of amino acids in the postprandial state with rich-protein leucine (i.e. whey) and high protein diets were efficient in inducing a muscle mass recovery after immobilization.
