Montmorency cherry concentrate decreases NF-κB protein content in humans with whey protein ingestion and resistance exercise (-20.7 ± 17.5% vs +17.8 ± 31.3% in placebo).
“Muscle total NFĸB protein was decreased with exercise and protein in MCC (NFĸB: -20.7 ± 17.5%) but increased in PLA (NFĸB: 17.8 ± 31.3%, p = 0.073)”

Montmorency cherry concentrate showed no clear effect on myofibrillar protein synthesis in humans with whey protein ingestion and unilateral leg resistance exercise (MCC: 1.79 ± 0.75 EX vs 1.15 ± 0.40 rest; PLA: 2.22 ± 0.54 vs 1.21 ± 0.18 %·d−1).
