Filter by:The goal of this randomized control trial is to compare the effect of a liquid formula rich in nutrients and low in calories (supplement) with the progressive diet with conventional foods that we usually recommend in patients after surgery. The main question it aims to answer is if the addition of a high-protein, volume-controlled nutritional supplement as a fundamental part of the diet during the first two months after surgery will preserve the patient's nutritional status and prevent the appearance of nutritional deficits and associated complications. Participants will be evaluated at the beginning, at 1 month and at the end of the study (2m) and the following determinations will be made: - Analytical determination - Nitrogen balance by determining urea N2 in 24-hour urine - Anthropometric determinations - Body composition determined by impedanciometry - Resting energy expenditure and nutrient oxidation measured by indirect calorimetry. - Energy, protein and hydration intake. - Gastrointestinal tolerance through self-registration of symptoms. Researchers will compare the effect of a complete hypocaloric liquid formula group with the usual progressive diet group to see if they achieve the protein intake goal established for patients after obesity surgery, preservation of nutritional status and lean mass during the rapid phase of weight loss and the gastrointestinal tolerance during the first two months after surgery.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of the Cross-disciplinary Teamwork Care Model and Exercise Intervention in residents living in long-term care institutions. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Increased physical performance. - Reduced the physical restraint. - Reduced fall accidents. Participants will accept the comprehension Exercise Intervention combined with protein supplementation or not.
The aim of this work is to study the effect of different timings of protein supplementation on variable outcomes in hemodialysis patients.
This study aimed to investigate the effects of a newly developed plant-based protein blend regarding health and safety, body composition, and performance on healthy and physically active adult individuals, specifically team sports athletes. A randomized, double-blind, controlled trial was used to compare the effects of the plant-based protein versus whey protein, after an 8-week supplementation protocol, on body composition, biochemical markers, muscle strength and power, as well as aerobic performance in male futsal players. The working hypothesis is that this special blend of plant-based protein will be equivalent to whey protein, not only regarding body composition and performance, but also insofar as health and safety at the biochemical and physiological level.
The proteins of human breast milk are the most important endocrine signaling system that promotes neonatal growth by increasing the release of insulin, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and the leucine-mediated mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1- (mTORC1) signaling of pancreatic β-cells. Remarkably, the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, isoleucine, and valine are involved in the growth-promoting effects of milk, protein biosynthesis, and metabolism because they physiologically stimulate insulin secretion The present study sought to investigate the effects of the combination of whey protein and casein in the ratio of 80:20 ("whey protein: casein" or "casein: whey protein") as breast milk proportion on the peak and the period of the permanence of branched-chain amino acids in the blood circulation, final metabolites of protein metabolism and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after a single bout of fasting or a resistance exercise session.
Published guidelines recommend at least 2 gm/kg/day of protein for critically ill surgical patients. It may not be possible to achieve this level of intake using polymeric enteral nutritional formula and protein or amino acid supplementation will be necessary. This was a retrospective cohort study in which the investigators reviewed critically ill trauma and surgical patients treated with supplemental enteral protein according to a protocol aimed to deliver a total of 2 gm/kg/day of protein. The investigators studied detailed nutritional data from a 2 week period after admission and obtained additional data through discharge to determine caloric intake, protein intake and complications. The investigators also compared urine nitrogen excretion and visceral protein (transthyretin) concentrations between those who received early supplementation with those who did not.
Purpose: to study the effect of insect protein on performance and hypertrophy during 8 weeks of resistance training. Hypothesis: Insect protein supplementation enhances the effect of resistance training on muscle mass and muscle strength. Primary outcome: Muscle hypertrophy and muscle strength Design: Two groups of healthy young men (age: 18-30 years) with resistance training experience, but no structural resistance training performed for the last 12 months. Randomized controlled intervention study +/- insect protein (placebo group ingest isocaloric carbohydrate). Both groups perform 8 weeks of progressive resistance training (4/week) aiming to induce muscle hypertrophy.
Investigators performed a randomized controlled trial of 62 patients undergoing elective abdominal operations. The treatment group was provided a liquid protein supplement and instructed to take a dose three times daily for the first 20 postoperative days. Investigators followed patients for six months and compared wound healing and changes in weight and laboratory values.
