Peanut sip study for muscle health in older adults

This study looks at how two types of protein drinks (one from plants, one from whey/dairy) affect muscle and metabolism in older adults who have COPD. You'll lie in a bed for several hours while researchers measure your body's response to the protein. The goal is to find which protein might better help maintain muscle strength.

This study looks at your “meal response”—how your blood sugar and related body processes change after eating. It may help researchers understand different metabolic patterns and how to improve health or treatment strategies for older adults.

This study compares how well beef protein and plant protein help build muscle in older adults who may be starting to feel weak or lose muscle. You'll eat test meals and have your muscle response measured using a safe, stable isotope technique.

This trial uses a simple breath test to see how well your body uses protein from a meal. It aims to understand how age and physical activity affect protein metabolism, which is important for muscle health.

This trial compares two types of protein, one from milk and one from wheat, to see which helps older adults build more protein in their body. You will receive drinks containing one protein type on separate days and have blood and muscle samples taken.

This study looks at whether eating peanut butter can help support brain health. You would eat peanut butter as part of your diet, and we would use brain scans and tests to see if it has any effects.
