3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The optimal EAA-containing protein format necessary to maximally stimulate muscle protein synthesis and optimize whole-body net protein balance during caloric deprivation has not been determined. This study will address that gap in knowledge by examining post, whole-body exercise muscle and whole-body protein kinetic responses to ingesting varying EAA-containing protein formats after a 5 day period of negative energy balance. This study will provide the initial evidence to support the development of a recovery-based food product for military combat rations.
The amount of essential amino acids (EAA) necessary to maximally stimulate muscle protein synthesis and optimize whole-body net protein balance during caloric deprivation has not been determined. This study will address that gap in knowledge by examining the resting and post-exercise muscle and whole-body protein kinetic responses to ingesting varying amounts of EAA after a 5 day period of negative energy balance. This study will provide the initial evidence to support the development of a recovery-based food product for military combat rations.
The purpose of this study is to measure resting energy expenditure, total energy expenditure, and physical activity in recovering burn children to better understand their relation to impaired growth and nutritional status; and to measure whole body and muscle protein turnover during recovery from burn injury to understand their impact on body composition and energy metabolism. It also aims to look at changes in lean body mass, fat mass, bone mineral density and bone mineral content during rehabilitation and during early convalescence.
