Study Summary

This trial assessed the effect of different cooking methods on the lysine availability of barley.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for healthy young men aged 18-40 with stable body weight, not on medication affecting protein metabolism like steroids. They must have no clinical conditions such as diabetes that affect protein or amino acid metabolism and no recent significant weight changes.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study examines how the body uses lysine from barley, focusing on the impact of cooking methods on its availability. Barley's low lysine content affects protein synthesis, which is crucial for growth and bodily functions.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves consuming barley prepared in different ways, side effects are minimal but may include potential allergic reactions to ingredients used in the study diets.
