NCT00700804

Brief Summary

The primary objective is to determine whether meat interacts positively with calcium to improve calcium retention. The secondary objective is to determine whether any interaction between dietary protein and calcium affects biomarkers of bone metabolism.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Calcium Absorption

    Retention of Calcium-47 was monitored for 28 days by whole body scintillation counting. The percentage of Calcium-47 absorbed was estimated from the y-intercept of the linear portion of a semilogarithmic retention plot of percent Calcium-47 retained vs time

    17 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Serum Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1)

    7 weeks

Study Arms (2)

High Calcium Diet

EXPERIMENTAL
Behavioral: High Protein Diet

Low Calcium Diet

EXPERIMENTAL
Behavioral: Low Protein Diet

Interventions

High and low protein diets with meat as a primary protein source, tested in a cross-over design for each arm

High Calcium Diet

High and low protein diets with meat as a primary protein source, tested in a cross-over design for each arm

Low Calcium Diet
