Inside the ICU: scientists track protein breakdown to fight muscle loss
NCT ID NCT03451968
First seen May 02, 2026 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at how long-term ICU patients (over 7 days) break down and use amino acids, the building blocks of protein, compared to healthy volunteers. Researchers will inject safe, stable isotope tracers and measure amino acid levels to understand muscle wasting. The goal is to gather knowledge that could guide future treatments for ICU-acquired weakness.
