New treatment option for Protein Metabolism
Official title Animal and Microbial-based Dietary Protein Efficiency in Adults
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07148908
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Given the relatively high carbon footprint and sustainability of animal-based proteins, there is a growing interest in determining the nutritional quality non-animal-based protein sources. The overall objective of this investigation is to examine the impact of different animal and microbial-based protein sources to support whole body protein synthesis in adults.
