This study looks at how much protein healthy young adults need to build and maintain muscle. Researchers will track your body's protein use during different activities to find the optimal amount for you.
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 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 tests how different types of protein and minerals affect the way your body uses amino acids (building blocks of protein). It may help researchers understand which protein sources are best for healthy, active adults.
This study measures how your body breaks down and uses protein from beef at different amounts. Researchers want to understand the best dose of beef protein for young, healthy adults.
This study looks at how continuously high levels of amino acids (protein building blocks) affect muscle growth in healthy young men. It aims to understand if your muscles can still respond to extra amino acids when they are already elevated.
