Brief summary

Hydrolysis of dietary protein may impact their gastrointestinal kinetics and further metabolism. The primary goal of this work was to measure the metabolic fate of intact or hydrolyzed protein using a protein of good nutritional quality, i.e., casein. A second aim of this study was to assess the true ileal digestibility of dietary protein using different methods including the hydrolyzed casein method and to measure its possible effect on endogenous intestinal N losses in humans.

Interventions

OTHERIntestinal and metabolic exploration

Subjects are studied for 8h following the ingestion of a standard meal containing 15% of energy as protein. Intestinal, blood and urine are collected at regular intervals.

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT15N-labelled intact casein

standard mixed meal containing 15% of energy as 15N-labelled intact casein

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT15N-labelled hydrolyzed casein

standard mixed meal containing 15% of energy as 15N-labelled hydrolyzed casein

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTmixture of AA

standard mixed meal containing 15% of energy as a mixture of AA mimicking the composition of casein but devoid in serine
