Clinical trials: Regulation of Muscle Protein Synthesis
Obesity, Skeletal Muscle
Anti-Inflammatory Milk Matrix
Obesity is pro-inflammatory, impairs metabolism, and physically limiting. Specifically, muscle in obese persons does not synthesize proteins normally. This further increases metabolic and physical dysfunction.
- Conditions
- Obesity, Skeletal Muscle, Inflammation
- Trial name
- AIMM (NCT04216004)
- Testing
- Controlled-Feeding Intervention, Non-dairy beverage, Full-fat milk
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 36 people, healthy volunteers welcome
- Sponsor
- University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Ketosis, Regulation of Muscle Protein Synthesis
Ketones and Muscle Protein Synthesis
Ketones are natural substances normally produced by the body during prolonged fasting and starvation, or in response to a "ketogenic" diet to be used as fuel by the brain and muscles.
- Trial name
- NCT04565444
- Testing
- Ketone, Ketone + Protein, Protein
- Where
- Canada
- Volunteers
- 36 people, healthy volunteers welcome

- McGill University
Ketosis, Resistance Exercise
Acute Effects of Ketone Monoester Co-Ingestion With Dietary Protein on Whole-Body Phenylalanine Oxidation, Phenylalanine Retention, and Myofibrillar Protein Breakdown Following Resistance Exercise in Older Males
The goal of this trial is to determine if ketone monoester supplementation in conjunction with protein supplementation in the post exercise period can augment whole-body protein metabolism following resistance exercise in older…
- Conditions
- Ketosis, Resistance Exercise, Dietary Protein, Aging
- Trial name
- KET-OLD-M (NCT07884513)
- Testing
- Ketone Monoester + Dietary Protein (KET+PRO), Dietary Protein (PRO), Resistance Exercise
- Volunteers
- 18 people, healthy volunteers welcome

Muscle Protein Synthesis, Protein Metabolism
Time Course of Postprandial Protein Metabolism
The anabolic action of 'fast' whey protein on the regulation of postprandial muscle protein synthesis has been established to be short-lived in healthy young adults.

This study evaluates the effect of increase in testosterone levels in older males and the effects of decrease in testosterone levels in young males on muscle protein synthesis.
- Conditions
- Sarcopenia, Muscle Hypotrophy, Muscle Atrophy
- Trial name
- NCT03054168
- Testing
- Sustanon 250, Zoladex

Ketosis, Muscle Protein Synthesis
Exogenous Ketosis and Muscle Protein Synthesis During Exercise Recovery
An acute bout of resistance exercise stimulates muscle protein synthesis (MPS) rates for up to 24-48 hours, supporting muscle growth and repair.
- Conditions
- Ketosis, Muscle Protein Synthesis, Dietary Proteins, Resistance Exercise
- Trial name
- NCT06769100
- Testing
- Ketone Monoester (KET), Ketone Monoester + Whey Protein (KET+PRO), Whey Protein (PRO)

- Canada
- Volunteers
- 48 people, healthy volunteers welcome

Regulation of Muscle Protein Synthesis
Role of Leucine in the Regulation of Human Myofibrillar Protein Synthesis at Rest and Following Resistance Exercise
Muscle mass is normally maintained through the regulated balance between the processes of protein synthesis (i.e. making new muscle proteins) and protein breakdown (breaking down old muscle proteins).
- Trial name
- NCT01492010
- Testing
- whey protein, whey protein supplemented with leucine, whey protein supplemented with essential amino acids
- Where
- Canada
- Volunteers
- 24 people, healthy volunteers welcome
