Leucine-enriched milk protein
Leucine-enriched milk protein has been studied in 1 paper since 2018: 1 trial in people. The newest paper, Feb 1, 2018: “Protein leucine content is a determinant of shorter- and longer-term muscle protein synthetic responses at rest and following resistance exercise in healthy older women: a randomized, controlled trial”.

“Acute myoPS increased in response to feeding in the rested (CON: 13% ± 4%; LEU: 53% ± 5%) and exercised (CON: 30% ± 4%; LEU: 87% ± 7%) leg in both groups, but the increase was greater in LEU (P < 0.001)”
None of its findings points the other way.

What did studies of leucine-enriched milk protein find?
2Studies of leucine-enriched milk protein measured 2 outcomes: integrated myofibrillar protein synthesis rate and myofibrillar protein synthesis rate.

Integrated myofibrillar protein synthesis rate
upin humans1
Leucine-enriched milk protein increases integrated myofibrillar protein synthesis rate in humans (integrated daily response, compared with isonitrogenous mixed-protein beverage) (rested: 9% ± 1%; exercised: 17% ± 2%).
“Integrated myoPS increased during the supplementation period in both legs (rested: 9% ±1%; exercised: 17% ± 2%; P < 0.001) in LEU, but in the exercised leg only (7% ± 2%; P < 0.001) in CON”
