All recruiting trials (5)
-
Whole-food beef protein and amino acid oxidation in young adults
This test will see how three dinner doses of minced beef affect 24-hour amino acid oxidation in healthy 18–35-year-olds.
-
How different post-workout meals affect muscle protein building
This trial tests whether eating potato plus beef, bread plus beef, or beef alone right after resistance exercise changes muscle protein building in healthy, recreationally active young adults.
-
Beef versus plant protein for improving muscle-building responses in (pre)frail older adults
This study will test whether a beef meal, a tofu meal, or a placebo produces a stronger muscle-building response in adults aged 65–95 with (pre)frailty.
-
Stable isotope tracing in adults with obesity
This research will test whether drinks labeled with safe stable isotopes can show how adults with obesity process glucose and protein.
-
Comparing plant and animal protein effects on older adults' metabolism
This study is testing how different types of protein, from plants and animals, affect metabolism in older adults, especially those with muscle loss.
