Muscle Atrophy
Beta-lactoglobulin, Immobilisation and Muscle Protein Synthesis
The objectives of this study are to: 1. Establish whether combined β-lactoglobulin supplementation and resistance training for 1 week prior to 5 days of limb immobilisation will attenuate the decrease in integrated free-living…

No Condition, Healthy Individuals
Protein Intake Distribution to Support Muscle Anabolism in Healthy Young Adults
The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether the distribution pattern of daily protein intake affects how much muscle protein can be built in the muscle after resistance exercise and at rest.
- Trial name
- NCT07245199
- Testing
- protein intake

- Netherlands
- Volunteers
- 36 people, healthy volunteers welcome

Hypertrophy
D2O Dosing Strategies to Assess Muscle Protein Synthesis
Skeletal muscle mass is regulated by the balance of muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and muscle protein breakdown (MPB). MPS is sensitive to exogenous stimuli, particularly exercise and protein ingestion.
- Trial name
- D2O-MPS (NCT04256343)
- Testing
- Deuterium Oxide (D2O) Dose
- Volunteers
- healthy volunteers welcome

Sarcopenia
Determining the Muscle Anabolic Properties of Phosphatidic Acid.
Ageing is characterized by a loss of muscle mass that is detrimental for physical function and metabolic health and increases the risk of mortality.
- Trial name
- PA-AGE (NCT03446924)
- Testing
- Phosphatidic Acid, Rice flour
- Where
- United Kingdom
- Volunteers
- 16 people, healthy volunteers welcome

Weight Loss
Nutritional Stimulation of Muscle Protein Synthesis and Metabolic Rate After Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for severe obesity but results in loss of muscle mass. The investigators will test the hypothesis that consumption of an Essential Amino Acid-based nutritional formulation will maintain…
- Trial name
- NCT04751916
- Testing
- Essential Amino Acid Protein Supplement, Beneprotein®

Muscle Protein Synthesis
Impact of Nitrate Ingestion on Protein Synthesis
A diet rich in leafy green vegetables has been shown to reduce the risk of developing chronic metabolic disease. The health benefits from these particular vegetables may be attributed to their high nitrate content.
- Trial name
- PRO-Nitrate (NCT01473576)
- Testing
- Nitrate, Sodium chloride
