Bioavailability of Legume Proteins in Differents Products

Institut National de Recherche pour l'Agriculture, l'Alimentation et l'Environnement12 enrolled

Overview

The use of pea proteins could be interesting in specific foods. Indeed, these proteins could have great nutritional quality, with good amino acid profile. Therefore, the investigators study the bioavailability of protein and post-prandial variation of metabolic markers following consumption of pea protein-enriched products in healthy young subjects. Main Objective is to compare plasma kinetics of leucine.

The written agreement of the subjects will be obtained after information on the aims, nature and possible risks of the study. Before inclusion, the volunteers will be subjected to a medical check-up at the Nutritional Exploration Unit which includes an examination of personal and family history and current drug treatments, as well as a standard medical examination and a blood test for a biological check-up. Compliance with the inclusion/ exclusion criteria will be verified during this review. Volunteers included in the protocol will go to the Clinical Pharmacology Center (CPC) to perform the tests. At each visit, each volunteer will receive one of the six products. The volunteer will be reviewed six times for the realization of a kinetics. First, three visits will be made with at least 7 days apart (wash out period). Then, after a 15-day break, three others visits will be organized spaced at least 7 days apart. The day before each visit, the evening meal will be standardized and eaten before 9 pm. A short catheter will be placed in a vein in the forearm for blood samples. After a fasting blood sample (T0), the subjects will consume one of the test meals. Nine samples will be then collected at several times after meal ingestion. On these samples, plasma concentrations of amino acids, insulin, blood sugar, lipid balance and inflammatory markers will be measured. Any intercurrent events will be noted in the observation book. The test meal sequence will be randomly assigned to subjects (generating a random list) prior to the start of the study.
