Measure
Normal Lysine Diet First Then High Lysine Diet
Participants completed two one-week dietary interventions, in a randomized order, separated by a 2-week washout. For the Normal Lysine diet, participants were asked to adhere to a specific diet for 1 week. Individuals were instructed to consume specific foods, to adhere to a controlled lysine diet. This comprised 3 meals and 1-2 snacks per day during the study period. For the Washout, individuals were asked to resume their habitual diet for 2 weeks. For the High Lysine diet, participants were asked to adhere to a specific diet for 1 week. Individuals were instructed to consume the same specific foods, as the Normal Lysine diet. This comprised 3 meals and 1-2 snacks per day during the study period. Participants were also instructed to take Lysine supplements with their meals (5g/day). Lysine: Lysine is an essential amino acid which is acquired from dietary sources. Controlled Diet: Individuals will be instructed to consume specific foods, to adhere to a controlled lysine diet.

For the Washout, individuals were asked to resume their habitual diet for 2 weeks. For the Normal Lysine diet, participants were asked to adhere to a specific diet for 1 week. Individuals were instructed to consume specific foods (the same as during the High Lysine diet), to adhere to a controlled lysine diet. This comprised 3 meals and 1-2 snacks per day during the study period. Lysine: Lysine is an essential amino acid which is acquired from dietary sources. Controlled Diet: Individuals will be instructed to consume specific foods, to adhere to a controlled lysine diet.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Change from pre-diet to post-diet (1 week)

Population: Individuals were included for analysis only if they had provided a blood sample for measurement of 2-AAA at both the pre- and post-diet timepoints. This excluded 3 individuals from the normal lysine diet intervention, and 4 individuals from the high lysine diet intervention.

Alpha aminoadipic acid (2-AAA) concentration determined through mass spectrometry, quantified to standard. The change was calculated as post-diet minus pre-diet for each Intervention (Normal lysine and High lysine).
