The National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $457,498 Project Grant to Texas A&M University to conduct research on a targeted nutritional approach to restore muscle health and physical activity in patients recovering from sepsis. The 4-year grant (9/1/2024 - 8/31/2028) aims to test the hypothesis that a combined nutritional formulation of beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyric acid (HMB) and essential amino acids (EAA) is superior to EAA alone or control in attenuating severe tissue breakdown during sepsis rehabilitation. The study will also investigate the metabolic and molecular mechanisms through which this nutritional supplementation attenuates the dysregulated protein metabolism caused by sepsis. The research will be conducted using a clinically relevant pig model of acute Pseudomonas aeruginosa sepsis, with the goal of providing a mechanistic basis for developing novel, cost-effective nutritional approaches to enhance rehabilitation and improve muscle health and physical activity in sepsis patients.
