Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of different doses of hydrolyzed collagen (HC) with resistance exercise (RE) on whole body collagen synthesis in middle-aged males and females.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of different doses of hydrolyzed collagen (HC) with resistance exercise (RE) on whole body collagen synthesis in healthy middle-aged males and females.

Healthy middle-aged males and females ingested 0 grams, 15 grams or 30 grams HC with 50 milligrams vitamin C 1h prior to performing four sets' leg press RE at 10-repetition maximum load, after which they rested for six hours. Blood samples were collected throughout each trial to analyse procollagen type Ⅰ N-terminal propeptide (PⅠNP, a biomarker of collagen synthesis) and β-isomerized C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (β-CTX, a biomarker of collagen breakdown) concentration, and the concentration of 18 amino acids that constitute collagen.

This is the first study to investigate the combined effect of different doses HC with high-intensity RE on whole body collagen synthesis in middle-aged men and women. If 30 grams HC intake with RE does augment collagen synthesis more than RE alone, this suggests that long-term HC intake with chronic RE would be beneficial for tendon health, because collagen is the most abundant protein in tendon.

Participants Investigators Outcome Assessors
Before commencing each experimental intervention, a laboratory technician (independent to the study) made up the three doses of hydrolyzed collagen (HC) and randomly assigned the order of HC dose (Excel 2016, Microsoft, Washington, USA) for each participant. Also, for each intervention, the technician recorded the date, randomly allocated trial number (1, 2 or 3) and corresponding HC dose to blind the investigator.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention for middle-aged men: Consumption of hydrolyzed collagen (HC) with resistance exercise

Middle-aged male participants consumed one of three different HC doses (0 grams, 15 grams, or 30 grams) with 4 sets of 10 repetitions of leg press exercise at 10-repetition maximum load in a random order and a seven-day wash-out period interspersed between each trial.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Consumption of three different doses of hydrolyzed collagen (HC) with resistance exercise

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Each intervention lasts for seven hours and while participants consumed HC, performed resistance exercise and rested, 10 x 5 mL blood samples were collected from a superficial forearm vein using a cannula.

All interventions were performed at the same time of day (08:00 - 15:00).

Different doses of HC (0 grams, 15 grams and 30 grams) and 50 milligrams vitamin C were dissolved with 250 milliliter water in an opaque bottle. To match calories of 30 grams HC, 34.1 grams and 15.4 grams maltodextrin was used in 0 grams HC and 15 grams HC respectively. Also to mask any potential difference in HC doses, 4 grams non-caloric sweetener was used in all HC doses.

The details of dietary supplements used are as follows:

Hydrolysed collagen (Myprotein, Cheshire, UK), Vitamin C powder (Holland and Barrett Retail Limited, Warwickshire, UK), Maltodextrin (Myprotein, Cheshire, UK), and Non-caloric sweetener (Truvia®, SilverSpoon, London, UK)

Intervention for middle-aged women: Consumption of hydrolyzed collagen (HC) with resistance exercise

The intervention procedure is exactly same as Arm 1 except for the number of visits and doses of HC. Middle-aged female participants were asked to visit the laboratory on the day of highest oestrogen (i.e. ovulation) and provided with 0 g or 30 g HC. Dates for the trials were determined based on self-report of onset of menses and previous menstrual cycle length.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Consumption of two different doses of hydrolyzed collagen (HC) with reistance exercise

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Each intervention lasts for seven hours and while participants consumed HC, performed resistance exercise and rested, 10 x 5 mL blood samples were collected from a superficial forearm vein using a cannula.

All interventions were performed at the same time of day (08:00 - 15:00).

Different doses of HC (0 grams, and 30 grams) and 50 milligrams vitamin C were dissolved with 250 milliliter water in an opaque bottle. To match calories of 30 grams HC, 34.1 grams and 15.4 grams maltodextrin was used in 0 grams HC and 15 grams HC respectively. Also to mask any potential difference in HC doses, 4 grams non-caloric sweetener was used in all HC doses.
