Muscle response to high amino acid levels in young men
Treatments studied
This study looks at how your muscles respond to continuous high levels of amino acids (the building blocks of protein) in healthy young men. If you take part, it may help scientists understand how to keep muscles strong and healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are male
- You are between 18 and 35 years old
- You are generally healthy (no major medical conditions)
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18.5 and 30 kg/m²
- You do not smoke and are not in a regular exercise training program
- You have not had liver or kidney problems, phenylketonuria, or used certain medications

This trial tests how different foods or diet patterns work together to help your body build more muscle protein. It’s designed for active, pre-menopausal women who are not pregnant and have regular cycles.
This study tests if taking a leucine supplement (an amino acid found in protein) can help older men build muscle more effectively. You may be eligible if you are a healthy, non-smoking man between 65 and 75 who does not currently do weight training.
This study looks at how certain amino acids (building blocks of protein) help maintain muscle mass. Healthy young men eat a special diet and have their muscle protein production measured to see if non-essential amino acids matter for keeping muscles strong.
This study looks at how much protein is best for building and maintaining muscle in healthy young adults. You may receive different amounts of protein and have your body's response measured to help find the optimal amount.
This study compares the effects of a diet containing beef versus a plant-based diet on how well your body builds muscle protein. It aims to find which diet better supports muscle strength and function in healthy older individuals.
This study looks at how spreading protein intake throughout the day affects muscle building in healthy young adults. You'll likely do some light exercise and drink protein shakes to see if timing matters for muscle strength and size.
