“But a new study shows that omega-3s may reduce inflammation during pregnancy. Women with obesity who took omega-3 fatty acids during their pregnancies experienced a sixfold reduction in C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation.”

“Proteins in milk, meat, and other foods can trigger allergic reactions in some people. However, these proteins—called antigens—can also interact with the immune system to suppress small intestinal tumors.”

“Both received diabetes medications and general lifestyle advice, but one group also participated in a structured program that combined a high-protein diet with supervised moderate exercise (30 minutes daily, five times a week) for 12 months.”

“This drop in blood flow strongly correlated with a reduction in the muscle's ability to incorporate dietary amino acids, with muscle protein synthesis about 30% lower in the cold-immersed leg.”

“People with untreated type 2 diabetes developed Alzheimer's disease 1.6x faster and had more tau protein in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) compared to people without diabetes. Tau tangles accumulate inside neurons and can disrupt many functions.”

“They also tracked muscle protein synthesis using amino acid infusions and ultrasound imaging to assess how well blood flowed through muscle tissue after eating. Finally, they measured leg strength using a one-repetition maximum test.”

“According to some estimates, Alzheimer's disease will affect nearly 14 million Americans by 2060, with women comprising two-thirds of those cases. Research indicates that this disparity arises from the buildup of tau, a protein linked to cognitive decline, which occurs earlier and progresses more rapidly in women.”

“Researchers injected clumps of the protein alpha-synuclein into mice’s stomachs and intestines. Days later the mice had aggregates of alpha-synuclein in their intestines that had spread via the vagus nerve to the brain.”

“Alzheimer’s disease is a common neurodegenerative disorder affecting an estimated 24 million older adults worldwide. Researchers believe the disease is caused by toxic levels of beta-amyloid protein aggregates in the brain that impair neuronal function and trigger cognitive decline.”

“• The role that protein aggregation plays in the aging process and neurodegenerative diseases, how heat stress activates genetic pathways, including heat shock proteins, in worms and humans that lower protein aggregation and extend lifespan in worms.”
