NCT04135040 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 5

Last updated 2024-07-19

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will evaluate how much of the essential amino acid lysine school-aged children are using for protein synthesis when consuming different cereal grains. Six healthy children between 6-10y will be recruited. They will be given cooked white rice, corn, oats, black beans, and milk. Using a minimally invasive technique, the amount of lysine that is available from cereal grain products will be determined. With the results from this research project accurate diet recommendations will be developed for children consuming cereal-based diets.
