Summary
Episode 174: Researcher from Maastrict University, Jorn Trommelen is on the show to discuss his research on the effect of glucose/fructose on carbohydrate oxidation during exercise and the effect of pre-sleep protein on muscle protein balance.
Jorn earned his MSc in Nutrition and Health with top honors at Wageningen University & Research Centre. He is now pursuing a PhD in Muscle Metabolism at Maastricht University, at one of the leading laboratories in that field.
His research focusses on protein ingestion to optimize post-exercise muscle protein synthesis. In addition, he investigates carbohydrate metabolism during and after exercise.
Jorn won several awards for his research including:
- A Young Investigator Award at the European College of Sport Science Congress in 2015
- The GSSI Sport Nutrition Award at the American College of Sports Medicine in 2016
- The Gail E. Butterfield Nutrition Travel Award at the American College of Sports Medicine in 2016
- A GSSI Nutrition Award at the European College of Sport Science Congress in 2016

| 0:00.0 | We did a study where people had their normal habitual protein intake during the day, did a session of resistance exercise in the evening, |
| 0:14.0 | got an optimal amount of post-workout nutrition, so 20 grams, and then about two and a half hours later, they went to sleep, |
| 0:22.1 | and then they slept for about seven and a half hour. |
| 0:24.7 | One group got additional protein prior to sleep, that's 40 grams of casing protein. |
| 0:29.8 | The other group got simply a lot of placebo, and we found that even after that day of |
| 0:36.1 | normal protein intake and post-workout protein supplementation, |
| 0:39.9 | that additional protein still had an additional benefit and increased overnight Sigma Nutrition Radio. Today we are at episode 174 and as always, am your host Danny Lennon. Thank you so much again |
| 1:15.4 | guys for taking the time out to listen to the podcast. On today's show I'm just about to talk to |
| 1:21.5 | Yorne Tromelin who is a PhD researcher at Maastricht University, where his research focuses on both protein |
| 1:31.1 | ingestion to optimize muscle protein synthesis, as well as investigating carbohydrate metabolism |
| 1:38.6 | during and after exercise. And we're going to go and dig into both of those areas on today's |
| 1:44.1 | show, |
| 1:44.8 | particularly in relation to a few of the studies that Yorne has been the lead author on in recent |
| 1:49.9 | times, both this year and last year, a number of papers have been published on these different |
| 1:54.8 | areas, including exogenous carbohydrate oxidation, as well as pre-sleep protein ingestion. So we're going to look at both |
| 2:02.5 | of those on today's show. The show notes this episode are going to be at sigmautrition.com |
| 2:08.9 | slash episode 174. So they'll link up to more about YORN. I'll link up to the research papers |
| 2:15.4 | themselves and any other relevant data as well as |
| 2:19.7 | where you can get transcripts to the podcast. And just before we get into today's episode, I just want |
| 2:26.2 | to mention for those of you with an interest in powerlifting, the European Powerlifting |
| 2:31.6 | Conference is being held on the 1 and second of July of this year, |
| 2:37.0 | and details are being released this week as we speak as you're probably listening to this. |
