Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
In this study, in order to investigate the effects of cricket protein and soy protein on physical performance, muscle strength, bone density, and intestinal bacteria, blood, urine, and feces were collected from the subjects before and after taking the test diet for 4 weeks. to measure items such as: 1) Physical measurement, physical function test Height (measured only once before the start of the test), weight, blood pressure, pulse Grip strength, knee extension muscle strength, vertical jump, walking speed, etc. 2) Clinical examination Hematology test: red blood cell count, white blood cell count, hemoglobin level, hematocrit value, platelet count Blood biochemistry test: sugar metabolism, liver function, renal function, lipid metabolism, pancreatic function 3) 24-hour urine collection test Urinalysis: Urine general qualitative (urine protein, urinary sugar, urinary urobilinogen) Urine biochemistry test: urinary Na Urinary parameters: muscle atrophy markers (3-methylhistidine, creatinine) Oxidative stress marker (8-deoxyOH) 4) Stool collection Distribution of intestinal bacteria by next-generation sequencing 5) MRI examination Quadriceps cross-sectional area, intramuscular fat mass, intramuscular protein mass 6) Bone density measurement Bone density measurement using a bone densitometer 7) Body composition measurement Measurement of lean tissue mass and body protein mass with a portable in-body device
