Study Summary

This trial will look at how leucine-enriched amino acids affect muscle protein synthesis following exercise and at rest. It will also look at how this affects molecular regulation in the body.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for healthy, recreationally-active men and women aged 18-35 who haven't done resistance exercise or plyometrics in the last 3 months. Women must have a regular menstrual cycle. Exclusions include tobacco or illicit drug use, recent participation in similar studies, and recent birth control use.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if leucine-enriched amino acids (LEAA) are more effective than a carbohydrate placebo at incorporating specific markers into muscle proteins after exercise and at rest. It also looks at how these substances affect protein synthesis on a molecular level.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects aren't specified but could include digestive discomfort or allergic reactions due to the intake of LEAA compared to the carbohydrate placebo.

Group II: Carbohdyrate PlaceboPlacebo Group1 Intervention

Iso-caloric placebo (4g maltodextrin to replace LEAA). 20g carbohydrate, 2g of protein free drink powder, and 5g of Splenda to mask taste.

"To be eligible to join this clinical trial, patients must fall in the 18-35 year old age range. There are additional trials available for minors and seniors respectively."

Answered by AI

How many participants has the clinical trial recruited thus far?

"Confirmed. Records taken from clinicaltrials.gov indicate that this medical trial has been actively recruiting since October 1st 2022 and is still looking for 10 participants at a single site as of January 31st 2023."

Answered by AI

Does this research project currently require volunteers?

"Affirmative. The clinical trial registry states that this research is recruiting subjects and was initially posted on October 1st 2022, with its most recent update taking place at the end of January 2023. This study requires 10 participants to be enrolled from one location."

Answered by AI

Am I eligible to partake in this research study?

"This clinical trial seeks 10 healthy volunteers, between 18 and 35 years of age who meet the criteria for interventional study participation. Specifically, applicants must have completed the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire for Everyone (PAR-Q+), not taken part in resistance exercise or lower body plyometrics within 3 months prior to enrollment, possess a regular menstrual cycle if female (25-35 days) over the same timespan, and commit to abiding by all rules associated with this experiment."
