Great question!

Before genetic engineering, people who needed insulin to survive (diabetics) had to obtain their insulin from pancreases of pigs! When pigs were slaughtered, they removed the pancreas to take out the insulin. Expensive, time consuming - and for jews, not kosher! 

Genetic engineering changed all this - they have cloned the gene for human insulin into a plasmid which they then express in the bacterium Escherichia coli (E. coli). The E. coli makes A LOT of insulin this way - it's made in a stainless steel fermentor (think of how they brew beer) - and it is easily purified. So, now there is human insulin (not pig - so kosher!) and is made fast and cheap!!! No need to slaughter an animal for this anymore!

What is the protein recommendation associated with resistance training for younger adults to increase muscle protein synthesis?
Mademuasel [1]

Whey protein and milk are recommended for muscle protein synthesis in young adults during resistance training.

<h3>What is muscle protein synthesis? </h3>

The metabolic process in which new amino acids are attached to the bound proteins of skeletal muscle is called muscle protein synthesis.

Whey protein is a great choice of consumption for muscle protein synthesis because it contains a high amount of leucine. Milk and dairy products are rich sources of whey protein.

Therefore, the consumption of whey supplements and milk is recommended for increasing muscle protein synthesis in young adults.
