"Postprandial myofibrillar protein synthesis rates assessed over the entire 5-hour postprandial period averaged 0.045 ± 0.002%/h and 0.034 ± 0.002%/h in women and men, respectively, which was 30% higher in women compared with men (t test P = 0.005)."
Conclusion?
Women need less dietary protein to achieve a given MPS response.
"The present findings show that middle-aged women have a greater myofibrillar protein synthetic response compared with men when ingesting the same amount of protein. This implies that women require less dietary protein to induce a similar muscle protein synthetic response compared with men. These findings are relevant to a variety of topics, including sports nutrition, nutritional support during energy intake restriction, and protein requirements for the aging population or during illness or inactivity. Clearly, sexual dimorphism in relation to postprandial protein handling should be considered when defining nutritional guidelines to support muscle mass maintenance or muscle hypertrophy in women."
