NCT06801951

Brief Summary

This study should provide the mechanistic basis for and evaluation of a new nutritional formulation to be used alongside exercise training to improve muscle function and exercise performance by minimizing exercise induced metabolic deregulation in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • net whole body protein metabolism synthesis

    Change in whole-body protein synthesis rate and myofibrillar protein breakdown

    2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210 and 240 ± 5 minutes

Study Arms (2)

EAA + HMB

EXPERIMENTAL

Targeted amino acid formulation (7.0 g EAA and 1.5 g HMB (EAA+HMB))

Other: acute resistance exercise with oral nutrition supplementationOther: stable tracer infusion

Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

7.0 gram non-essential amino acids

Other: acute resistance exercise with oral nutrition supplementationOther: stable tracer infusion

Interventions

acute bout of resistance exercise on an isokinetic exercise machine of each limb (i.e., right and left arm and right and left leg) allowing control of velocity and force. Immediately upon completion, 1 serving of liquid nutrition supplement will be consumed. An additional serving of the liquid nutrition supplement will be sent home for consumption in the evening.
