U.S., Dec. 13 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07280819) titled 'Nutritional and Physical Intervention During Bed Rest' on Nov. 20.
Brief Summary: Hospitalization often involves long periods of bed rest and reduced nutritional intake, which can lead to skeletal muscle loss and anabolic resistance. These effects slow recovery and increase the risk of complications, long-term disability and healthcare costs. Animal-based proteins are effective at stimulating muscle protein synthesis (MPS) because they contain all essential amino acids and have high bioavailability, but they are less sustainable. Plant-based proteins are more environmentally friendly but may be less effective for MPS due to lower es...
