Filter by:The most common problem among sports people is that no matter how much protein food or products they eat, their sports performance cannot be improved, resulting in failure to achieve breakthroughs in sports performance. The cause of the trouble is digestion and absorption problems. The key is intestinal problems. If gastrointestinal function is maintained in a healthy state, then exercise performance must be maintained at a considerable level. Therefore, how to choose the source of protein in the diet is one of the most concerned issues of the sports crowd. Although past studies have confirmed that the essential amino acids in animal protein can be absorbed and utilized better than plant protein, plant protein can be broken down into easily digestible peptides and amino acids by pepsin. Promote the metabolite pool in the large intestine and the amino acid balance of the host in the small intestine. Recent studies have pointed out that the proteases and peptidases in lactic acid bacteria can provide free amino acids for the best growth of bacteria, and can increase the distribution of amino acids in the blood, the speed of muscle synthesis and the content of branched chain amino acids. However, the mechanism of action of Lactobacillus plantarum on protein digestion and amino acid absorption in the host is still unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the effect of supplementing sports lactic acid bacteria TWK10 in human experiments to effectively improve the amino acid bioabsorption rate of plant protein supplements. 40 subjects were randomly divided into 2 groups, each with 20 people (male and female): (1) pea protein without TWK10 (placebo), (2) TWK10 group (TWK10). The two groups of subjects were supplemented with test samples for 28 consecutive days and performed paired sports training 3 times a week. Before and after the intervention, the samples were subjected to exercise testing, blood and fecal sample collection, body composition analysis, and muscle mass analysis.
The use of dietary amino acids has been explored for therapeutic and safety intervention of obesity and obesity-induced dysfunction. In particular, 3 molecules have been shown to be effective both in the animal model and in humans, in promoting the loss of fat mass, specifically visceral adipose tissue, and in maintaining free fat mass: arginine, glutamine and leucine (and its metabolite beta hydroxy methyl butyrate, HMB). The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy in terms of fat mass, in particular Visceral Adipose Tissue reduction, as primary end point, in obese patients following the administration of specific food for special medical purposes (FSMP) for muscle recovery, consisting of arginine, glutamine and HMB. The secondary end point is the evaluation of skin state, by a validate self-reported questionnaire survey to assess skin, after 4- weeks intake of this FSMP.
This study will assess effects of an acute dose of the amino acid arginine on metabolism in healthy young men.
10 young males will be recruited to participate in a randomized double blinded crossover study to investigate the influence of concomitant intake of two different types of carbohydrate with protein hydrolysate on the absorption kinetics of protein-derived amino acids and the impact on myofibrillar protein synthesis. During the trial days the subjects will perform a bout of whole body resistance exercise and ingest a supplement of meat hydrolysate labeled with D5-phenylalanine together with randomized and double blinded type of carbohydrate consisting of either glucose or cluster dextrin. The primary outcome is the time to obtain peak concentration of D5-phenylalanine after intake of meat hydrolysate with either glucose or cluster dextrin. Hypotheses: I) The cluster dextrin will increase the absorption of the amino acids from the meat hydrolysate, and thereby result in a faster rise and a higher peak in plasma amino acid concentration in the postprandial period. II) The meat hydrolysate will increase the protein synthesis rate to a higher extent when combined with cluster dextrin than with glucose.
The main goal of the study is to determine true ileal amino acid digestibility of whey protein isolate (WPI) and zein proteins in healthy subjects equipped with naso-ileal tube. The endogenous losses of proteins and amino acids will be determined by collecting digesta samples after a protein-free diet in a third group of subjects.
The purpose of the study is to confirm the results of a prior study that demonstrated pills containing two amino acids which are in foods increased growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1.
