入选标准

  • Generally healthy, non-smoking
  • Willing and able to provide informed consent
  • Men age 20-45 years
  • BMI between 25 and 35 kg/m2

排除标准

  • Subject has any concurrent medical, orthopedic, or psychiatric condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would compromise his/her ability to comply with the study requirements;
  • History of cancer within the last 5 years, except basal cell carcinoma, non-squamous skin carcinoma, prostate cancer or carcinoma in situ with no significant progression over the past 2 years;
  • Significant orthopedic, cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, liver, infectious disease, immune disorder (requiring ongoing medical care), or metabolic/endocrine disorder (e.g., diabetes, high cholesterol, elevated fasting blood sugar) or other disease that would preclude oral protein supplement ingestion and/or assessment of safety and study objectives;
  • Any cachexia-related condition (e.g., relating to cancer, tuberculosis or human immunodeficiency virus infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome) or any genetic muscle diseases or disorders;
  • Current illnesses which could interfere with the study (e.g. prolonged severe diarrhea, regurgitation, difficulty swallowing);
  • Subject participated in a study of an investigational product less than 60 days or 5 half-lives of the investigational product, whichever is longer, before enrollment in this study;
  • Hypersensitivity to any of the components of the test product;
  • Excessive alcohol consumption (>21 units/week); (> 21 standard drinks/wk); e.g., 18oz glass of 5% beer - 1.5 standard drinks, a 750 mL bottle of 12% wine = 5 standard drinks.
  • Known sensitivity or allergy to amino acids or any ingredient in the test formulations;
  • Prior gastrointestinal bypass surgery (Lapband, etc.), irritable bowel disease or irritable bowel syndrome;
  • History of bleeding diathesis, platelet or coagulation disorders, or antiplatelet/anticoagulation therapy (up to 81mg of baby aspirin per day taken as a prophylactic is permitted);
  • Personal or family history of clotting disorder or deep vein thrombosis. Deep vein thrombosis is a serious, and potentially lethal, medical condition, therefore, it is imperative if you have personal or family history it is disclosed this to the research staff.
  • Concomitant use of corticosteroids, testosterone replacement therapy (ingestion, injection, or transdermal), any anabolic steroid, creatine, whey protein supplements, casein or branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) within 45 days prior to Screening;
  • Contraindications to an MRI scan (e.g. subjects with non-removable ferromagnetic implants, pacemakers, aneurysm clips or other foreign bodies, or subjects with claustrophobic symptoms that would contraindicate an MRI scan).
  • Hemoglobin <11.5mg/dl at Screening;
  • Platelets <150,000/uL (150x109/L) at Screening.

结局指标

主要结局

Change in muscle atrophy

时间窗: day 0, day 8, day 15 and day 28

To determine the impact of an amino acid formulation on muscle atrophy after 7 days of amino acid supplementation followed by 7 days of single leg immobilization and 14 days of recovery post-immobilization muscle atrophy will be assessed utilizing percutaneous muscle biopsy to quantify fibre size in the vastus lateralis.

次要结局

  • Change in muscle strength(day 0, day 8, day 15 and day 28)
  • Change in muscle size(day 0, day 8, day 15 and day 28)
