(KIWI) Speeding up a Slow Protein for Muscle Mass With Hay Kiwifruit

University of Arkansas·interventional·Posted Apr 22, 2020·Updated Nov 4, 2021

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Green Hayward Kiwifruit first, then Gold Kiwifruit and Gold Kiwifruit First, then Green Hayward Kiwifruit for Metabolism and Protein. Completed, enrolled 13 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The specific hypothesis is that the consumption of 2 Hayward green kiwifruit (containing actinidin protease) prior to 100g of ground beef will increase the rate of protein digestion from the beef in the elderly, leading to an increased uptake of the essential amino acids. Furthermore, this increased essential amino acid availability will produce a greater postprandial net anabolic protein response, as well as increased fractional synthetic rates of muscle proteins.
