Method To Measure Protein Digestion & Absorption

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Chronic Heart Failure, Pulmonary Disorder, Chronic Obstructive

In brief

The aim of the present study is to validate a new method in healthy volunteers and those diagnosed with COPD and CHF that is able to measure protein digestion and absorption simultaneously. This method is used to quantify digestion and absorption in patients who are suspect of impaired digestion and absorption resulting in loss of nutrients.Findings may be used to develop treatment strategies to improve protein digestion and absorption in these patient groups.
