Amino Acid Balance During Physical Inactivity

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 22 (actual)
• Sponsor: University of Exeter · Academic / Other
• Sex: Male
• Age: 18 Years – 40 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The aim is to assess the impact of physical inactivity on muscle amino acid balance and forearm glucose uptake. In addition, we will evaluate how high-fat overfeeding will modulate muscle amino acid balance and forearm glucose uptake.

Detailed description

The aim is to assess the impact of forearm cast immobilization on muscle amino acid balance and forearm glucose uptake. In addition, we will evaluate how high-fat overfeeding during immobilization will modulate muscle amino acid balance and forearm glucose uptake.
