Effects of Ingesting Amino Acids Simultaneously with Glucose and Fat on Postchallenge Metabolism in Healthy Young Women

Abstract

: Aim: To investigate the effects of ingesting amino acids simultaneously with glucose and fat on postchallenge glycemia and lipidemia. Methods: The subjects were eleven healthy young Japanese women (age 21.1 ± 0.1 y). In each session, the subjects ingested one of three beverages in a randomized crossover design. Materials used were an amino acid mixture (Amizet B™, 0.6 g/kg of body weight, 60 mg/kg as amino acids), glucose (1 g/kg of body weight), and fat cream (OFTT™ cream, 1 g/kg of body weight, 0.35 g/kg as fat). The three beverages were as follows: an amino acid mixture (A trial), glucose and fat cream (GF trial)
