New abstract in NUTRITION 2024

An abstract from Fangzhou Li, Prof. Ilias Tagkopoulos, and collaborators about Combining proteomics and metabolomics to assess protein digestibility was presented at the conference NUTRITION 2024, American Society of Nutrition, Chicago, IL.

Abstract: We presented a clinical feeding study aimed at assessing the digestibility of proteins derived from various food sources in a cohort of 16 human subjects. Our approach involved integrating a food proteomics platform with a rapid-throughput targeted metabolomics platform to elucidate protein digestibility by establishing correlations between the amino acid composition present in foods and the corresponding concentrations of amino acids detected in serum.
