Pea Protein Muscle Function Randomized TrialOne of the most conspicuous manifestations of aging is the insidious reduction of skeletal muscle mass and strength, a phenomenon referred to as sarcopenia, which is intricately associated with frailty, an elevated risk of falls, and metabolic dysregulation (,).4Hao Shuai (2026)Comparative effects of pea protein vs. dairy proteins (α-lactalbumin and casein) on aminoacidemia, exercise performance, gut microbiota, hormonal responses, neurocognitive function, mood, and metabolic–inflammatory responses in older adults
Pea Protein Muscle Function Randomized TrialSimultaneously, age-associated deficits in glucose metabolism, heightened low-grade inflammation, and cognitive decline further complicate health outcomes within this demographic (,).4Hao Shuai (2026)Comparative effects of pea protein vs. dairy proteins (α-lactalbumin and casein) on aminoacidemia, exercise performance, gut microbiota, hormonal responses, neurocognitive function, mood, and metabolic–inflammatory responses in older adults
Pea Protein Muscle Function Randomized TrialHistorically, proteins derived from animals, such as those found in dairy, have been regarded as superior to their plant-based counterparts due to their elevated EAA content and more advantageous digestibility profiles (,).4Hao Shuai (2026)Comparative effects of pea protein vs. dairy proteins (α-lactalbumin and casein) on aminoacidemia, exercise performance, gut microbiota, hormonal responses, neurocognitive function, mood, and metabolic–inflammatory responses in older adults
