A Factorial Model of the Minimum Metabolic Demand for Protein and Indispensable Amino Acids in Young Adult Males: Implications for Current Recommendations
A factorial model for estimation of the MMD for protein and each IAA provides a mechanistic understanding of requirements and their sensitivity to metabolic processes. Each parameter is affected by variations in protein quantity and quality, and different physiological states. Additional data, when available, will enable model refinement.
