Investigating the Effects of Krill Oil and Krill Protein on Post-exercise Muscle Protein Metabolism
Sponsor: University of Glasgow
Summary
The aim of the current study is to find out if krill oil can increase muscle building processes in response to resistance (weightlifting) type exercise. Others aim are to determine the effects of krill protein, and the interaction of krill oil and protein, on muscle building processes in response to resistance (weightlifting) type exercise.
