Summary

Our objective is to determine the metabolic availability of Lysine in white maize using the indicator amino acid oxidation (IAAO) technique in adult men.

Detailed description

Our objective is to determine the metabolic availability of Lysine in white maize. 7 young, healthy, male adults will receive graded levels (29, 37,46 and 54%) of lysine requirement of 35 mg/kg/d as a crystalline AA mixture and a porridge of white cornmeal protein respectively.

Conditions

• Healthy Adults
