The Effect of Oral Intake of Animal and Plant Proteins on the Metabolism in Healthy Women
Sponsor: Örebro University, Sweden
Summary
The goal of this interventional study is to learn about the effects of different proteins (from animals or plants) on the metabolism in healthy, normal weight women between 18-45 year who are not on hormonal birth-control. The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1. How do different proteins affect biological markers of the metabolism and which protein has the strongest effect? 2. How are the different proteins digested and taken up from our body? Participants will drink four different shakes on four different study days in a random order. Three of them contain each a different protein and one does not contain protein. Right before drinking the shake and on 11 timepoints after drinking the shake blood samples will be drawn.
