Analysis of the Postprandial Effects of a Vegetable Protein Mixture Rich in Arginine, Cysteine and Leucine on Endothelial Dysfunction and Inflammation at Low Noise in Elderly People With Cardiometabolic Risk
Sponsor: University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand
Summary
By 2050, the expanding world population will consume two-thirds more animal protein than it consumes today. The increase in chronic diseases associated with the generalization of these consumption patterns tend to understand the place of meat in our diets. All these elements participate to the reduction of animal proteins in favor of vegetable proteins in our food. The elderly are particularly affected by malnutrition, the prevalence of protein-energy malnutrition increasing with age and promoting the onset of morbidities. Without care, it leads to the worsening of physiological phenomena linked to aging such as loss of muscle functionality (sarcopenia) or reduction in bone density (osteoporosis) and increases the risk of falls - the main cause of dependence. However, in France, protein consumption declines significantly with age, even though requirements appear to be greater for the elderly. It is therefore a major challenge for our societies to ensure that the aging of the population and the increase in life expectancy are not synonymous with a reduction in the physical and mental capacities of individuals. Thus, it is essential to ensure that the recommendations for reducing the intake of animal proteins in favor of vegetable proteins can be applied without risk to aging populations, in particular on the human body cardiovascular risk of these populations.

Interventions
Vegetable proteins (VP) rich in leucine, cystein, arginine
33 volunteers will consume 400 ml of yogurt with vegetable proteins (VP) rich in leucine, cystein and arginine only once during the visit. At the beginning and the end of the intervention, exploration will be conducted at fasted state and at post-prandial state after the administration of vegetable proteins.
Animal proteins (AP)
33 volunteers will consume 400 ml of yogurt with animal proteins (AP) rich in leucine, cystein and arginine only once during the visit. At the beginning and the end of the intervention, exploration will be conducted at fasted state and at post-prandial state after the administration of animal proteins.
No protein (T)
33 volunteers will consume 400 ml of yogurt without any protein (T) rich in leucine, cystein and arginine only once during the visit. At the beginning and the end of the intervention, exploration will be conducted at fasted state and at post-prandial state after the administration of animal proteins.
