Results

Results : Thirty-day soy protein supple
mentation significantly increased skeletal muscle volume in participants with low physical activity, compared
with 30-day casein protein supplementation. Both casein and soy protein supplementation increased the volume
of quadriceps femoris musclein bedridden patients. Consistently, soy protein significantly increased their ex
tension power of the knee, compared with casein protein.

Baseline Characteristics

Background:Inrecentyears,thenumberofbedriddenpeopleisrapidly increasing due to aging or
lack of exercise in Japan. This problem is becoming more serious, since there is no countermeasure against it. In
the present study, we designed to investigate whether dietary proteins, especially soy, had beneficial effects on
skeletal muscle in 59 volunteers with various physical activities.

Participant flow

Methods : We subjected 59 volunteers with vari
ousphysicalactivities to mealintervention examination.Personswithlowandhighphysical activities were
divided into two dietary groups, the casein diet group and the soy diet group. They ate daily meals supplemented
with 7.8 g ofpowderedcaseinorsoyproteinisolateevery day for30days. Bedridden patients in hospitals were
further divided into three dietary groups : the no supplementation diet group, the casein diet group and the soy
diet group. They were also subjected to a blood test, a urinalysis, magnetic resonance imaging analysis and muscle
strength test of the knee before and after the meal intervention study.

Adverse events

None

Outcome measures

1)Sectional area of large hamstring muscles
2)Marker of muscle athropy(3Met-His,CK)
3)Marker of oxidative stress(8-OHdG)
4)Muscle strength
