“Autopsies were conducted on their brains after death, and the amount of protein from BDNF gene expression in the brain was then measured. [...] > The rate of cognitive decline was about 50 percent slower for those in the highest 10 percent of protein from BDNF gene expression compared to the lowest 10 percent.”

“A ketogenic diet, which is high in fat, moderate in protein, and low in carbohydrates, mimics fasting by inducing metabolic switching – the capacity to shift from metabolizing glucose to metabolizing fatty acids.”

“The aggregation of a protein called alpha-synuclein is thought to play a role in the death of dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson's disease. In a new study, T-cells from patients with Parkinson's mounted an immune response against a protein alpha-synuclein whereas immune cells from people without Parkinson's did not.”

“The excerpt also reviews controlled muscle studies: omega-3 attenuated loss during immobilization and increased the amino-acid-stimulated muscle-protein-synthesis response under tested conditions. These findings do not generalize to every dose or population.”

“It focuses on the exome, the protein-coding portions of genes that account for only 1 percent of DNA but nearly 85 percent of the glitches known to cause human diseases. Also relevant... the price.”

“However, providing the mice arginine prevented the cognitive impairments associated with the high salt diet. Arginine is a precursor to nitric oxide, a potent endogenous vasodilator that plays a role in maintaining tau protein stability.”

“Evidence suggests that plant-based proteins – when consumed in sufficient quantities – can support muscle hypertrophy in resistance training, which would in turn support bone health. Learn more in this episode featuring Dr. Stuart Phillips.”

“A recent study found that PFAS exposure is linked to shorter sleep duration and increased sleep disturbances. Researchers measured PFAS levels and proteins related to metabolism and inflammation in the blood of 136 healthy young adults.”

“Some evidence suggests female sex hormones influence the pathology and progression of Alzheimer's disease. A recent study in mice shows that the brains of male and female mice with Alzheimer's regulate amyloid-beta protein differently, with the hormone estradiol playing a critical role.”

“Analysis of the blood proteins suggested lower activity in several growth-factor and nutrient-sensing pathways after treatment. These signals are essential for normal cell function, but when they remain highly active, they can promote processes linked to aging.”
