Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Anabolic Resistance to Protein Intake During Muscle Disuse

Participants will have one leg immobilized using a rigid knee brace. Participants will be expected to keep the knee brace on for 5 days and remain non-weight bearing on the immobilized leg. Participants will use crutches to remain non-weight bearing on the immobilized leg.

One leg will remain non-immobilized and active during the study. Participants will use this leg to walk with crutches.
