Prandial Metabolic Phenotype in Adults (NCT05400733)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Previous studies suggest that changes in metabolism due to the effects of aging might serve as a potential for therapeutic agents. The investigating lab developed a pulse method combining multiple stable isotopes to study multiple metabolic pathways in the same individual simultaneously. By measuring whole-body metabolism in a large group of older adults, the investigators may be able to unravel age-related deterioration in protein turnover (synthesis and breakdown) that contributes to impaired functional capacity. Metabolic profiles could explain differences in pathways in the aging process with special interest in metabolism of amino acids as they have been associated with aging-related disorders.
