Summary

The study aims to evaluate if there is a difference between eating conventionally raised or organic chicken. The investigators will measure and compare the nutrient and hormone levels in the participant's blood and the muscle protein synthesis rate (the rate at which your body builds muscle) after eating chicken from different farming practices. This will help the investigators to understand if these farming practices impact muscle protein synthesis and overall health. Specific aim 1: Describe the post-prandial nutrient and hormonal profile in serum in the 3 hours following consumption of 100 grams (\~32g of protein) of boneless-skinless conventional vs. regenerative chicken breast meat. Specific aim 2: Compare the ability of boneless-skinless chicken breasts grown with these two farming practices to activate mTORC1-specific and whole muscle protein synthesis in an in vitro model of muscle.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who can eat chicken and are interested in the effects of different farming practices on health. Participants will have their blood nutrient and hormone levels, as well as muscle protein synthesis rates measured after consuming chicken.
What is being tested?
The study compares the impact of eating conventional versus regenerative (organic) chicken on blood nutrients, hormones, and muscle building. It involves measuring these factors after participants consume 100 grams of each type of chicken breast meat.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves consuming chicken, potential side effects may include typical food intolerance reactions such as digestive discomfort or allergic responses specific to individual sensitivities.
