The mean curves of the kinetic model and mean concentrations for total amino acids, essential amino acids and leucine. The mean curves from the kinetic model, and the mean values ±SEM of the measured concentrations of total amino acids (a), essential amino acids (b) and leucine (c), are shown of each combination of protein supplement and time. DH, degree of hydrolysis (% cleaved peptide bonds). For low DH n = 4, for all other supplements n = 5
