Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study parameters are total amino acid (AA) and essential amino acid (EAA) uptake kinetics e.g. the appearance of free amino acids in blood samples collected before and after the postprandial protein load. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Plasma glucose and insulin levels will be determined before and after postprandial protein load | — |
