Clinical Trial Summary

The evaluation of protein quality has been identified as the top priority question by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. However, the current available methods do not precisely estimate protein quality, or need invasive procedures. The proposed 'dual tracer approach' is a non-invasive method to evaluate protein quality in humans.

The present project characterizes the use of 15N-intrinsically-labelled milk protein as a reference-protein for development a non-invasive method that can be used to assess protein quality in human subjects


Clinical Trial Description

Rationale: The evaluation of protein quality has been identified as the top priority question by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. However, the current available methods do not precisely estimate protein quality, or need invasive procedures. The proposed 'dual tracer approach' is a minimal invasive method to evaluate protein quality in humans.

Objective: The present project characterizes the use of 15N-intrinsically-labelled milk protein as a reference-protein for development a minimal invasive method that can be used to assess protein quality in human subjects. For this purpose, our primary objectives are to define the digestive and metabolic behaviour and distribution of the 15N-intrinsically-labelled milk protein compared to the internal standard 13C-spirulina.

Study design: Randomized cross-over trial with two experimental meals. Study population: Healthy male and female, age 18-35y Intervention (if applicable): On two separate test days, subjects will receive a semi liquid meal (pudding) divided in 9 portions, (meal 1: 27 En% Protein,10 En% fat, 62 En% carbohydrates; meal 2: 14 En% Protein,10 En% fat, 75 En% carbohydrates), with intrinsically labelled 15N protein powder. Furthermore, the meal will contain a trace amount of 13C-labelled algae protein as an internal standard. Meals will differ in the amount (e.g. 50g or 25g) of 15N-labelled milk protein.

Main study parameters/endpoints: The ratio of isotopic enrichment (15N/13C) of (total) amino acids of the test meal and the blood plasma as determined by (gas chromatography-) isotope ratio mass spectrometry ((GC)-IRMS).

Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: A meal challenge with intrinsically labelled protein and addition of stable isotope tracer is frequently used in postprandial studies. Stable isotopes are naturally occurring isotopes and are not harmful for subjects, as there is no decay. Furthermore, placing venous catheters and blood sampling can occasionally cause a local haematoma or bruise and some participants may report pain or discomfort. Subjects have to come to the research facility three times, a screening visit of 1 hour, and 2 experimental days of 7 hours. Subjects will be financially compensated for participation. ;
