Brief Summary

The goal of the project is to determine the ileal amino acid digestibility of Favabean in healthy subjects equipped with naso-ileal tube. For this purpose, Favabean will be intrinsically labelled with 15N using 15N fertilizer. This procedure will be realized in Finland and the labelled material will be sent to the Unit PNCA.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Ileal digestibility of protein and amino acids

    The measurement of nitrogen (mmol) and 15N enrichment (atom %) in ileal samples allow to determine the amount of dietary nitrogen in the lumen. The measurement of amino acid concentration (mmol) and their individual 15N enrichment (atom %) allow the determination of dietary amino acids remaining in the lumen. Dietary amino acids and dietary nitrogen that are recovered in the ileal samples are then considered as non absorbed.

    -30 minutes to 8 hours after the test meal

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Net Postprandial Protein Utilization (NPPU)

    0 to 8 hours after the test meal

  • gut microbiota in response to the ingestion of 15N fava bean

    0 to 2 days after the test meal

  • Nitrogen metabolites in blood in response to the ingestion of 15N fava bean

    0 to 8 hours after the test meal

  • Plasma glucose in blood in response to the ingestion of 15N fava bean

    0 to 8 hours after the test meal

  • Plasma insulin in blood in response to the ingestion of 15N fava bean

    0 to 8 hours after the test meal

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Fava bean

EXPERIMENTAL

The intervention consists in a test meal containing 250 g of cooked and peeled favabean, to provide 20 g protein. Fava bean are intrinsically labelled with 15N.

Dietary Supplement: Test meal with 15N labeled favabean

Interventions

Ingestion of a 15N labeled test meal. Subjects are equipped with a nasoileal tube. 15N is followed in biological fluids (plasma, effluents, urines).
