The aim of the study is to compare the use of amino acids in whole-body protein metabolism in elderly consumers at risk of metabolic syndrome, after ingestion of 2 foods differing only in the nature of their proteins (optimized blend of vegetable proteins versus milk proteins).
The protocol consists in studying the postprandial evolution of protein metabolism. Two products will be tested: one based on dairy proteins, the other on an optimized blend of vegetable proteins).
