- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The primary outcome is muscle protein synthesis fractional synthetic rate (FSR). By taking a muscle biopsy prior to and just after sleep, muscle enrichments of amino acid tracer can be measured and used to calculate rate of muscle protein synthesis (FSR). Amino acid tracers will be provided by intravenous (IV) infusion and by intrinsically–labelled protein.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The secondary outcome is amino acid absorption and digestion kinetics. The use of intrinsically labelled protein and blood draws allows us to assess the rate of appearance of the tracer in the plasma as a measurement of amino acid absorption and digestion.
