Dietary Protein's Effect on Gastric pH and Calcium Absorption
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating esomeprazole and Placebo for Osteoporosis. Completed, enrolled 12 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
We have established that dietary protein is an important regulator of intestinal calcium absorption in humans. However, we do not understand the mechanism by which dietary protein is affecting calcium absorption. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to evaluate whether dietary protein-induced changes in gastric acid secretion explain the observed changes in intestinal calcium absorption.
