Study Summary
With aging, there is a decrease in muscle mass and function especially in the energy storehouses of cells called mitochondria. Amino acids, the building blocks of protein, and insulin have been shown to increase muscle mitochondrial protein synthesis and thereby function. Branched chain amino acids which can only be provided in the diet seem to be key in this process. Therefore in our study, our aim is to study the effect of branched chain amino acids on muscle mitochondrial protein synthesis in both the young and elderly. By doing so, we can then elucidate if branched chain amino acid supplementation has future potential in improving quality of life and performance in the elderly. The study will involve blood sampling and needle muscle biopsy.
