Metabolic Availability in Older and Younger Men
Sponsor: Wageningen University
Summary
The main goal of this study is to determine the metabolic availability of methionine in black beans, lysine in sorghum and lysine in milk using the indicator amino acid oxidation method both in older and in younger men.
