Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate metabolic effects of 3 different nutritional compounds. Fasting (36 hours) creates a catabolic state that is comparable with the catabolic state seen in acute illness. This study is a randomized, placebo cross-over study investigating 8 healthy men on 4 separated days (at least 3 weeks between trials). * High leucine content drink * Low leucine content drink * Low leucine content drink + HMB * Carbohydrate (isocaloric) The investigators hypothesize that these nutritional supplements may counteract catabolic processes in different ways and degrees.
