NCT02065141

Brief Summary

The aim of the present study is to validate a new method in healthy volunteers and those diagnosed with COPD and CHF that is able to measure protein digestion and absorption simultaneously. This method is used to quantify digestion and absorption in patients who are suspect of impaired digestion and absorption resulting in loss of nutrients.Findings may be used to develop treatment strategies to improve protein digestion and absorption in these patient groups.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • protein metabolism in gut

    Digestion of the stable tracers of amino acid measured by plasma samples

    In postabsorptive and prandial state every 20 minutes up to 8 hours before each sip feeding on study day

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Body Composition

    on screening or study day 1

  • Respiratory muscle strength

    on study day 1

  • Skeletal muscle strength of hand

    30 minutes on screening or study day

  • Skeletal muscle strength of leg

    30 minutes on screening or study day

Study Arms (3)

Healthy

OTHER

screening visit: body weight and composition by DXA, height, and vital signs will be assessed. study day: stable isotope infusions with blood draws, sip feed

Other: sip feeding with stable isotope infusion

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder

OTHER

screening visit: body weight and composition by DXA, height, and vital signs will be assessed. Subjects may sign a medical release form to obtain medical information about them that will help determine study eligibility or can be used for later coding. study day: stable isotope infusions with blood draws, sip feed

Other: sip feeding with stable isotope infusion

Chronic Heart Failure

OTHER

screening visit: body weight and composition by DXA, height, and vital signs will be assessed. Subjects may sign a medical release form to obtain medical information about them that will help determine study eligibility or can be used for later coding. study day: stable isotope infusions with blood draws, sip feed

Other: sip feeding with stable isotope infusion
