Study Summary
This study will determine the effect of the same ounce-equivalents of fresh pork versus nuts, beans, and eggs on postprandial plasma essential amino acid availability in older adults. Each participant will receive all four treatments.
Primary Outcome
Plasma samples will be drawn at times 0, 30, 60, 120, 180, 240, and 300 minutes after the consumption of the trial meal. The amino acids that will be assessed are alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, valine.
