NCT ID NCT01249326
First seen Aug 05, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study explores how weight-loss surgery changes the body's protein needs and whether fast-absorbing milk proteins can help preserve muscle mass and strength. Researchers will measure nitrogen balance and muscle function in 25 adults with severe obesity before and after gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. The goal is to understand how to best support the body during rapid weight loss and improve recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- bariatric surgery (gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy) plus fast-absorbing milk protein supplements
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help tailor protein intake after weight-loss surgery to better preserve muscle mass and function, improving recovery and long-term health.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 25 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The findings may not lead to clear clinical guidelines, and individual responses to surgery and supplements can vary.
