Primary outcomes

  1. Plasma essential amino acids amounts

    Time frame: 4 hours

    Following an overnight fast, blood amino acids will be measured over 4 hours

Secondary outcomes

  1. Kinetic response of the branch chain amino acids

    Time frame: 4 hours

    Following an overnight fast, plasma branch chain amino acids amounts (area under the curve) will be measured over 4 hours at fasting

  2. Maximum amount of plasma branch chain amino acid amounts

    Time frame: 4 hours

    The maximum plasma branch chain amino acid amount will be measured over 4 hours

Other outcomes

  1. Time to reach the maximum amount of plasma branch chain amino acid amounts

    Time frame: 4 hours

    The time to reach the maximum of plasma branch chain amino acid amount will be measured over 4 hours
