NCT01145131

Brief Summary

Dietary intervention to prevent sarcopenia in elderly people. The objective of this study is to test whether meat structure plays an important role in protein digestion, to maximise the amino acid availability and to stimulate the muscle protein growth in elderly people.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Muscle protein synthesis

    Muscle protein synthesis will be expressed as fractional synthetic rate (FSR) by dividing the increment in enrichment in the product, i.e. protein-bound D5phe tracer, by the enrichment of the precursor (=plasma availability).

    6 h postprandial period

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Dietary amino acid plasma availability

    6h postprandial period

Study Arms (2)

Beef steak

EXPERIMENTAL
Other: Intact or minced beef meat

Minced beef

EXPERIMENTAL
Other: Intact or minced beef meat

Interventions

135 gram piece of intact or minced beef meat, beef steak or minced beef resp.

Also known as: Beef steak, Minced beef, Beef patty, Steak, Hamburger, Ground beef
