To measure the absorption kinetics and postprandial amino acid availability after ingestion of minced beef compared with hydrolyzed beef in young males. Moreover, the basal muscle protein synthesis and the postprandial muscle protein synthetic response to minced beef and hydrolyzed beef ingestion are measured in young males. The postprandial muscle protein synthetic response is measured and compared during the early postprandial period (0-3 hours) after ingestion of the two meat products.

Change in skeletal muscle protein fractional synthetic rate
The fractional synthetic rate of skeletal muscle proteins (%/h) measured during the overnight fasted state and the postprandial state.
Time frame: During the postprandial period (0-3 hrs).
Protein absorption
The change in venous plasma ring-2H5-phenylalanine enrichment after ingestion of meat protein, reflects the protein absorption from the meat protein products.
Time frame: During the postprandial period (0-3 hrs).
Plasma amino acid concentration
Change in venous plasma amino acid concentration after ingestion of meat protein.
Time frame: During the postprandial period (0-3 hrs).
