Differential plasma branched-chain amino acid responses following the consumption of Greek-style yogurt and skimmed milk.

We examined postprandial branched-chain amino acid (BCAA), insulin and glucose responses in blood for 4 hours following the consumption of two isonitrogenous doses (2x20g protein) of Greek-style yogurt (GY) and skimmed milk (MILK) in young males. Peak leucine and BCAA concentrations and areas under the curve were greater after GY versus MILK, and time to maximal leucine/BCAA concentrations was similar between conditions. We demonstrated that different protein-matched wholefood dairy products elicit different postprandial aminoacidemic responses.
