Our main objective is to determine the effect of HO-1 induction by heme arginate infusion on insulin resistance and endothelial dysfunction related to MetS. Secondary objectives are to determine the effect on adipose tissue, adiponectin plasma level…
The objective of this study is to test whether meat structure plays an important role in protein digestion, to maximise the amino acid availability and to stimulate the muscle protein growth in elderly people.
Controlling the glycemic impact of food products may reduce glycemic and insulinemic responses. This may result in a decreased inhibition of fat oxidation rate and lower plasma TAG concentration. A higher postprandial fat oxidation may result in…
Primary objective:To determine whether moderate alcohol consumption with a meal in different ambiances affects postprandial mood, evaluated by subjective (POMS, B-BAES, PPW questionnaires) and physiological (ACTH, cortisol, TRP:LNAA ratio, ghrelin…
