Filter by:Background Protein intake is important for skeletal muscle mass maintenance with aging and the ingestion of specifically-timed protein supplements could increase overall protein intake and thereby contribute to skeletal muscle mass maintenance. Recently, more attention has been given to the ingestion of plant-based protein blends as a more sustainable high-quality alternative to milk protein, as a means to increase muscle protein build-up and, as such, support muscle maintenance, especially when consuming suboptimal amounts of protein in the regular diet. Objective To assess the benefit of daily protein supplementation with either a plant-based protein blend or a milk protein on top of a standard diet to stimulate integrated muscle protein synthesis rates in healthy older individuals with and without exercise. Hypotheses It is hypothesized that both the plant protein blend and the milk protein supplement will result in greater muscle protein build-up when compared with a standard diet control condition. It is also hypothesized that exercise will result in greater muscle protein build-up when compared to the resting leg in all conditions, with similar effects of the protein supplements vs the control diet as in the non-exercised leg. This study will show the potential benefit of protein supplementation with alternative protein sources to support skeletal muscle maintenance in older individuals.
This is the first trial to assess the early elemental postoperative amino-acid load to meet the protein requirements in the first and second day postoperative to enhance the recovery of critically ill parturient (value on ERAS of critically ill obstetrics)
The goal of this clinical trial is to test adding choline to ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) in children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) in Malawi. The main question it aims to answer is: - Will the addition of a 500mg daily dose of choline to RUTF during treatment for SAM improve cognitive development among 6-59-month-old Malawian children compared with standard RUTF without added choline?
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy oral nutrition supplement (ONS) in malnutrition/high risk malnutrition cancer patients. The main questions it aims to answer: 1. Are there differences in knowledge, attitude and behaviour scores in cancer patients who receive cancer-specific ONS compared to those who do not receive cancer-specific ONS? 2. Is there a difference in nutritional status as assessed by average body weight, body mass index (BMI), haemoglobin (Hb), and albumin levels in cancer patients who receive cancer-specific ONS compared to those who do not receive cancer-specific ONS?
The study looks at the comparative effects of food products made with pea, lentil, and oat flour of various particle sizes on postprandial glycemic response, appetite and food intake, and amino acid release in healthy adults.
Open label, randomized, cross-over clinical study comparing the acute effect of high versus low protein meals during dialysis on intradialytic blood pressure, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure and arterial stiffness indices on maintenance hemodialysis patients.
Physical inactivity and protein malnutrition have been implicated to be key and modifiable causes of enhanced muscle mass loss among seniors. However, the individual benefit, as well as the additive or possibly interactive benefit of exercise and Protein supplementation on fall prevention has yet to be confirmed in a large clinical trial. This study aims to test the individual and combined effect and cost-effectiveness of a simple home exercise program and / or protein supplementation on the risk of falling in seniors at high risk of progressive muscle mass loss and sarcopenia.
