Effect of an Essential Amino Acid/Protein Composition on Protein Metabolism

University of Arkansas·interventional·Posted Apr 19, 2018·Updated Nov 2, 2021

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating 6.3 g of EAAs mixture and whey protein isolate, 12.6 g of EAAs mixture and whey protein isolate, and 1 other intervention for Sarcopenia. Completed, enrolled 16 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Sarcopenia, a progressive loss of muscle mass, strength and function, is an inevitable natural process of aging. While it may be impossible to completely reverse the progress of sarcopenia, it is well established that intake of dietary protein through essential amino acids (EAAs) and whey protein increases anabolic response. The current study will test if a specially formulated mixture of EAAs and whey protein can maximally stimulate anabolic responses at the levels of whole body and muscle compared to whey protein alone.
