Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary objective of this study is to compare the 6-hour postprandial plasma total amino acid availability, expressed as incremental area under the curve (iAUC), following ingestion of different protein isolates in healthy young adults | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary objectives for both sub-studies are: To compare plasma concentrations of non-essential amino acids, essential amino acids, branched-chain amino acids.To compare 6h postprandial serum mineral (calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium) and parathyroid (PTH) concentrations (as a proxy of calcium bioavailability).To compare 6h postprandial plasma GLP-1, osmolality, and fibroblast-growth-factor 21 (FGF-21) responses. | — |
