New treatment option for Protein Metabolism
Official title Validating IAAO for Muscle Outcomes
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07317921
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Consuming dietary protein stimulates whole-body and muscle protein synthesis, the latter of which is typically measured using invasive primed constant infusions of stable isotopes with concurrent muscle biopsies. Alternative non-invasive methodologies have been developed (namely the indicator amino acid oxidation (IAAO) technique) to estimate the impact of protein ingestion on whole-body protein synthesis as a proxy for determining dietary protein requirements.
