Protein Quality to Support Increased Muscle Protein Synthesis

NCT04026607 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 45

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The age-related decline in muscle mass and strength is collectively referred to as sarcopenia. Canadian recommended daily allowance (RDA) for protein intake (0.8 g/kg/d), however, many expert groups have advocated that older persons should increase their daily intake to \~1.2 g/kg/d to support the preservation of muscle mass. The use of plant-based proteins in food formulation has recently become of interest. This study will examine the impact of consuming higher- versus lower-quality protein supplements on muscle protein synthesis in healthy older men.
