Other related information

This study targets elderly Japanese women to evaluate protein requirements using the indicator amino acid oxidation (IAAO) method. The assessment of physical activity levels and protein requirements will be conducted using two gold standard methods: the doubly labeled water (DLW) method and the IAAO method, both utilizing stable isotope intake. Initially, a screening survey will be conducted to select participants. Afterward, the total energy expenditure will be quantified using the DLW method. Following the completion of DLW measurements, the IAAO method will be used. The IAAO method involves a seven-week dietary intervention, wherein participants will consume meals with varying protein content across seven levels. This test will be conducted once a week (one level per day) over a seven-week period. One participant will undergo seven conditions with varying protein intake levels (0.1g/kg to 1.8g/kg), each conducted with a washout period of 5-7 days. For example, the test meals with varying protein intake levels (0.1, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8 g/kg) will be administered randomly. On the test day, participants will consume meals containing test proteins at one-hour intervals, along with 13C-Phe, and exhaled breath samples will be intermittently collected in special breath bags. The 13C-Phe analysis will be conducted using infrared spectroscopy or mass spectrometry to measure the concentration of 13CO2 in the breath.
