NCT ID: NCT01890369 Recruiting - Old Age Clinical Trials

Modulation of Muscle Protein Metabolism by Essential Amino Acids

Aj1B
Start date: April 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The investigators plan to explore the ability of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins in our bodies and in the food we eat, to stimulate muscles to grow and stay strong. The investigators will investigate how rapidly after one meal the human body is ready to make use of a second meal and look at the molecular mechanisms underlying this. The investigators will look at these phenomena in older men as this group is known to be subject to a gradual loss of muscle mass and strength.
