This study tests whether a single session of whole-body electrical muscle stimulation, with or without a dose of amino acids, can improve protein balance in sedated ICU patients on ventilators. Thirty adults will be split into three groups: sham stimulation, real stimulation, or …

This study looks at whether it's possible to increase fiber intake in people with colorectal cancer before they have surgery. Researchers will compare personalized digital dietary advice, a dried vegetable product, and usual diet in 54 participants. The goal is to see if fiber in…

This study tests whether a drink containing caprylic acid and omega-3 fatty acids can help muscles recover strength after a tough workout. Twenty-eight healthy young men will take the supplement for seven days and do a muscle-damaging exercise. Researchers will measure muscle str…

This study looks at how non-nutritive sweeteners (like those in diet drinks) affect blood sugar control, gut bacteria, and hunger hormones in healthy adults aged 45-79. Over 6 weeks, participants will consume sweeteners or a control, and researchers will measure changes using glu…

This study investigates how the body processes glucose after a high-sugar meal in lean individuals and those with obesity. Participants drink a tiny, safe amount of radioactive glucose so researchers can trace exactly where the sugar goes—into breath, urine, or stool—and measure …

This study investigates how two days of forearm immobilization (keeping the arm in a cast or sling) changes the way muscles take up glucose and amino acids. Researchers will compare these effects in people with type 2 diabetes and healthy volunteers. The goal is to understand why…

This study looks at how eating fat every day from either dairy or plants changes the body's immune response. Thirty-nine healthy adults aged 40-70 will drink a high-fat shake and have blood tests before and after a month of daily smaller shakes. The goal is to see if repeated fat…
