Double-blind controlled pre-post trial where each subject acts as his own control. Three measurement sessions will be performed for each teenager. Each session will be conducted over a week. Each teenager will participate in three protein enrichment sessions: PROT1 session, PROT2 session, and

The investigators will recruit 16 healthy (non-obese, non-diabetic, non-smokers) elderly men aged 65-80 yrs to complete a double-blinded, parallel designed study, in which they will be randomly assigned to a phosphatidic acid (N= 8; PA) or placebo (N=8; PL) treatment group, matched closely for

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that predominantly affects young adults (1). Although its etiology has not yet been elucidated, evidence points to an autoimmune pathogenesis where it is thought that self-reactive and

The Investigators hypothesize that upregulation of skeletal muscle NO-cGMP mediated responses through phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibition by sildenafil or tadalafil causes an acute anabolic response of skeletal muscle protein synthesis. NO is well-known to elicit vasodilation through stimulation of

1. Goals The overall goal of perioperative nutrition support is to abolish protein wasting and to promote anabolic processes by directing amino acids into protein synthesis rather than oxidation. Protein repletion and enhancement of anabolism appear to be particularly important in cancer patients
