“Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal lobar degeneration are characterized by the abnormal buildup of tau, a protein that damages brain cells and drives cognitive decline.”

“Consuming alcohol after exercise worsens the damaging effects of muscle-damaging exercise and impairs the recovery of muscle damage. Combining alcohol with protein after combined aerobic and resistance exercise reduces muscle protein synthesis compared to protein alone by 24%.”

“There was also a small increase in some of the heat shock proteins. The sauna protocol used in this study was a little different than other studies I have talked about. This study used two 15 minutes in 208 degrees F separated by a 5-minute cool shower.”

“The study investigators posited that these improvements were due in part to enhanced muscle protein synthesis, aligning with other research demonstrating that fish oil supplementation induced a 50 percent increase in muscle protein synthesis.”

“Amyloid-beta protein levels decreased inside neurons. Normally present in the brain, this protein can accumulate and form toxic clumps in Alzheimer's disease, damaging brain cells. When recycling pathways (autophagy) were blocked, GTP increased.”

“Sleep deprivation increases stress hormones, which have been shown to increase the degradation of proteins in skeletal muscle, and reduce secretion of anabolic hormones.”

“Click here for a FoundMyFitness episode featuring guest Dr. Gordon Lithgow discussing metals in the context of aging, protein aggregation, and neurodegenerative disease. The role of the APOE4 polymorphism in Alzheimer’s disease.”

“Ultimately, it is the process of neuronal plasticity that gives the brain the ability to learn from and adapt to new experiences. > One type of protein produced by IEGs is the so-called Early Growth Response (EGR) proteins, which translate environmental influence into long-term changes in the brain.”

“Glucose transport proteins, which move glucose from the bloodstream into cells, are expressed in the heart, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, and brain among others. TXNIP is a protein that binds to glucose transporters, preventing the movement of glucose into cells.”

“The diet the animals were fed contained 3.75 kcal/g of digestible energy with calories supplied by protein, carbohydrate, and fat in a percent ratio of 25:58:17.”
