Leucine and Beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) as Anabolic Nutrients After 36 Hours of Fasting
The purpose of this study is to investigate metabolic effects of 3 different nutritional compounds.
Fasting (36 hours) creates a catabolic state that is comparable with the catabolic state seen in acute illness.
This study is a randomized, placebo cross-over study investigating 8 healthy men on 4 separated days (at least 3 weeks between trials).
- High leucine content drink
- Low leucine content drink
- Low leucine content drink + HMB
- Carbohydrate (isocaloric)
The investigators hypothesize that these nutritional supplements may counteract catabolic processes in different ways and degrees.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Protein metabolism after 36 hours fasting receiving different nutritional supplements.
Time Frame: 3 control period followed by 4 hours of nutritional drink intake
|
Protein metabolism is measured with amino acid tracer techniques comparing marked amino acids from blood samples.
Muscle and fat biopsies are obtained for signaling analysis.
Indirect calorimetry measurements are used to compare metabolism in the control period and during the intervention.
