Dietary Protein Digestion and Absorption Rates and the Subsequent Postprandial Muscle Protein Synthetic Response Do Not Differ between Young and Elderly Men ,
Open accessAbstract
Impaired digestion and/or absorption of dietary protein lowers postprandial plasma amino acid availability and, as such, could reduce the postprandial muscle protein synthetic response in the elderly. We aimed to compare in vivo dietary protein digestion and absorption and the subsequent postprandial muscle protein synthetic response between young and elderly men. Ten elderly (64 +/- 1 y) and 10 young (23 +/- 1 y) healthy males consumed a single bolus of 35 g specifically produced, intrinsically l-[1-(13)C]phenylalanine-labeled micellar casein (CAS) protein. Furthermore, primed continuous infusions with l-[ring-(2)H(5)]phenylalanine, l-[1-(13)C]leucine, and l-[ring-(2)H(2)]tyrosine were applied and blood and muscle tissue samples were collected to assess the appearance rate of dietary protein-derived phenylalanine in the circulation and the subsequent muscle protein fractional synthetic rate over a 6-h postprandial period. Protein ingestion resulted in a rapid increase in exogenous phenylalanine appearance in both the young and elderly men. Total exogenous phenylalanine appearance rates (expressed as area under the curve) were 39 +/- 3 mumol.6 h.kg(-1) in the young men and 38 +/- 2 mumol.6 h.kg(-1) in the elderly men (P = 0.73). In accordance, splanchnic amino acid extraction did not differ between young (72 +/- 2%) and elderly (73 +/- 1%) volunteers (P = 0.74). Muscle protein synthesis rates, calculated from the oral tracer, were 0.063 +/- 0.006 and 0.054 +/- 0.004%/h in the young and elderly men, respectively, and did not differ between groups (P = 0.27). We conclude that protein digestion and absorption kinetics and the subsequent muscle protein synthetic response following the ingestion of a large bolus of intact CAS are not substantially impaired in healthy, elderly men.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
