“> The research team are the first to record the continual movement cycle of Nrf2, which sees the protein oscillate in and out of the cell nucleus once every 129 minutes. When stimulated by a health beneficial vegetable-derived substance Nrf2's cycle sped up to 80 minutes.”

“Researchers continue to discover other consequences related to undernutrition during pregnancy. A new study examines how poor fetal nutrition affects protein expression in the fat tissue of adult rats, revealing key differences between males and females.”

“One of these toxic products is amyloid-beta, a protein that aggregates and forms plaques in the brain – one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. But during deep sleep, the glymphatic system actively clears nearly half of the total amyloid-beta accumulation.”

“The authors of this study later measured pro-inflammatory proteins in the sweat of people with COVID-19 to predict cytokine storm, a potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when an infection provokes an excessive immune response.”

“Immediately after each resistance training session, participants received a whey protein supplement that contained leucine, a branched-chain amino acid that promotes muscle protein synthesis, which is essential for muscle gains.”

“Tau's effects appear to depend on its chemical modifications and cellular interactions, not only on the presence of the protein. That distinction creates room for strategies aimed at the processes that make tau harmful, rather than treating all tau as the same target.”

“Researchers have investigated the effect of lipids bearing polyunsaturated chains when they are integrated into cell membranes. Their work shows that the presence of these lipids makes the membranes more malleable and therefore more sensitive to deformation and fission by proteins.”

“00:41:40 - Sulforaphane decreased the inflammatory biomarker CRP (C-reactive protein). Study. 00:42:05 - Sulforaphane lowered triglycerides and LDL and improved blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.”

“Another study showed that injecting 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.”

“A growing body of evidence, both in animals and humans, has linked maternal immune activation with autism spectrum disorder. Mothers of children with autism are 5 times more likely to have circulation autoantibodies against fetal brain proteins.”
