The Effects of Varying Essential Amino Acid Intakes on Resting and Post-exercise Skeletal Muscle and Whole-body Protein Kinetics During Negative Energy Balance
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Standard EAA and High EAA for Muscle Protein Synthesis and Whole-body Protein Balance. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The amount of essential amino acids (EAA) necessary to maximally stimulate muscle protein synthesis and optimize whole-body net protein balance during caloric deprivation has not been determined. This study will address that gap in knowledge by examining the resting and post-exercise muscle and whole-body protein kinetic responses to ingesting varying amounts of EAA after a 5 day period of negative energy balance. This study will provide the initial evidence to support the development of a recovery-based food product for military combat rations.
