Heron II Study Participant Information
We are inviting you to participate in our research study trying to understand how the protein in our diets affects hormones involved in muscle buildings
The study will take place in the Translational Research Facility (TRF), Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge
There will be two visits:
1. Screening visit - a screening visit for some routine blood samples and a meal we will provide
2. Main study visit - you will stay overnight for 9 nights, during which you will be given meals with different protein content to see how your hormones change during this period. The research will involve:
• Body composition (DEXA) scans
• Measurements of height, weight, blood pressure
• Metabolic rate measurements
• Blood and urine samples
To be eligible, you should meet the following criteria:
• Male
• 18-50 years old
• A non-smoker
• Normal weight (BMI 18.5 - 24.9 kg/m 2 )
In view of your time commitment, you will be compensated with £400 at the completion of the study.
Unfortunately, we cannot include people who exercise moderately (more than 3 times a week), take protein supplements or people who have chronic medical conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure
