Amino Acid Supplements
for Protein Metabolism
Previous studies suggest that changes in metabolism due to the effects of aging might serve as a potential for therapeutic agents. The investigating lab developed a pulse method combining multiple stable isotopes to study multiple metabolic pathways in the same individual simultaneously. By measuring whole-body metabolism in a large group of older adults, the investigators may be able to unravel age-related deterioration in protein turnover (synthesis and breakdown) that contributes to impaired functional capacity. Metabolic profiles could explain differences in pathways in the aging process with special interest in metabolism of amino acids as they have been associated with aging-related disorders.

Plant vs Whey Protein
for Protein Metabolism
The researchers overall objective is to determine whether plant and animal protein based proteins affect the anabolic responses across aging populations differently due to specific changes in the essential amino acids (EAA) and non-essential amino acids (NEAA) kinetic responses. The researchers central hypothesis is that a high EAA to NEAA ratio in a protein meal is related to higher anabolic response to the meal. The researchers also hypothesize that the type of NEAA in a protein meal also affects the anabolic capacity of the meal. The researchers rationale is that finding the amino acid composition of a meal that will maximally induce protein anabolism will guide novel nutritional approaches to prevent and treat sarcopenia, thereby reducing both overall economic burden and improving individual patient outcomes.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the ‘trial drug’ — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
What does Marielle Engelen, Ph.D. specialize in?
Marielle Engelen, Ph.D. focuses on Protein Metabolism and Sarcopenia. In particular, much of their work with Protein Metabolism has involved treating patients, or patients who are undergoing treatment.
Is Marielle Engelen, Ph.D. currently recruiting for clinical trials?
Yes, Marielle Engelen, Ph.D. is currently recruiting for 2 clinical trials in College Station Texas. If you're interested in participating, you should apply.
Are there any treatments that Marielle Engelen, Ph.D. has studied deeply?
