“A 2000 study demonstrated that athletes with high protein consumption do not have an increased risk for kidney dysfunction. Researchers asked bodybuilders and other athletes to keep detailed dietary records for one week after following their normal dietary patterns for one month.”

“They found that polystyrene nanoparticles induced dose-dependent structural changes in beta-lactoglobulin, impairing its ability to bind to retinol. They identified similar structural abnormalities in lysozyme, driving the formation of amyloid fibrils (abnormal protein clumps).”

“Protein exerts variable effects (both good and bad) on a person's calcium balance, depending on their dietary calcium intake. For example, dietary protein promotes the production of insulin-like growth factor-1, a protein involved in bone formation.”

“Evidence suggests that vitamin C can lower C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein that increases in the blood with inflammation and infection as well as following a heart attack, surgery, or trauma.”

“Weight loss is often part of the primary treatment of type 2 diabetes; however, some weight loss diets may have more insulin-sensitizing effects than others. Findings of one report show that a high protein weight loss diet can reverse prediabetes by increasing insulin-sensitizing hormones.”

“Interestingly, most of the participants in this study were female. Evidence suggests women typically consume less protein than men. In this clip, Dr. Stuart Phillips provides some insights to help older women get sufficient protein to support muscle health.”

“Kale supplementation increased heat shock proteins, lowered oxidative damage, and suppressed cognitive decline by improving spatial and learning memory in mice with a premature aging phenotype. I've talked quite a bit about heat shock proteins which are robustly activated by heat stress (ie.”

“FTA: > [...] by synthesising proteins from the [myelin] sheaths in a lab, and then injecting them into the blood stream at increasing doses, the body begins to learn that they are safe. > [...]”

“Sleep loss may also interfere with protein synthesis, driving skeletal muscle losses, a risk factor for obesity, type 2 diabetes, and frailty. Authors of a recent report measured the effects of sleep deprivation on muscle protein synthesis.”

“A recent cell study found that beta-hydroxybutyrate, a type of ketone, helps protect the brain by targeting toxic proteins for disposal. Researchers delivered beta-hydroxybutyrate to brain cells collected from mice and monkeys via an exogenous ketone ester.”
