Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The primary endpoint will be the appearance of milk protein-derived amino acids<br /><br>in plasma over the full assessment period (6 h), as determined using stable<br /><br>isotope tracer methodology.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>To compare the impact of low versus high protein glycation on whole-body<br /><br>protein kinetics (total rate of appearance, exogenous rate of appearance,<br /><br>endogenous rate of appearance, rate of disappearance), whole-body protein<br /><br>metabolism (synthesis, breakdown, oxidation, net balance), peak plasma lysine<br /><br>concentration, overall plasma amino acid responses, plasma insulin-, and<br /><br>glucose responses. </p><br>
