Article Synopsis
- - The INSPIRE trial showed that a high protein diet combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation helps reduce muscle loss and improves recovery after a specific type of brain bleeding (aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage).
- - Researchers used blood samples to analyze metabolites (small molecules in the blood) to identify differences between standard care and the high protein diet with stimulation group, finding 18 unique metabolites.
- - Some identified metabolites, like N-acetylleucine and quinolinate, were significantly linked to maintaining muscle mass in the temporal and quadricep muscles and showed strong correlations with protein intake.
Article Synopsis
- The INSPIRE trial showed that a high protein diet combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation can reduce muscle loss and improve function after aSAH (aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage).
- Researchers used untargeted metabolomics to analyze blood samples and identify specific metabolites associated with the benefits of this treatment.
- They found 18 unique metabolites, including several that correlated positively with protein intake and are linked to maintaining muscle volume, with N-acetylleucine showing particularly strong associations.
