8 and 12 hour eating windows yield similar myofibrillar protein synthesis

Not sure anyone cares about these types of studies anymore but figured I'd post about this small study just published: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36546330/

They compared an 8-hour eating window (8 male subjects, meals at 10a/2p/6p) to a 12-hour eating window (10 male subjects, meals at 8a/2p/8p). No exercise during the study. Used continuous glucose monitoring that indicated subjects were compliant with meal times. All subjects age 35-55 with BMI 25-35. Attempted to provide sufficient calories for everyone to maintain weight but there was a small amount of weight loss in both groups. Protein was at 1 g/kg/d.

They quantified myofibrillar protein synthesis over 10 days and it was equivalent in both groups. Unclear if/how things would change with a shorter eating window, if actively restricting calories or bulking, if including resistance training, and if women were included.
