“Some of these proteins promote the formation of isothiocyanates, while others promote the formation of epithionitriles, compounds that exert fewer beneficial health properties relative to isothiocyanates.”

“But inflammation is critical to a healthy immune response, of which lipoproteins play a part. The liver constantly produces apoprotein B - the protein that forms the backbone of all lipoproteins - to facilitate the speedy production of lipoproteins.”

“From the article: > The researchers say the improvements are due to a brain protein called brain-derived neurotrophic growth factor, which is released during aerobic exercise. A kind of Miracle-Gro for the brain, BDNF stimulates the hippocampus -- the brain's center of learning and long-term memory -- to sprout new neurons, and it increases connections between neurons.”

“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%.”

“The polyphenols in olive oil activate autophagy, which leads to the clearance of plaques and tangles in the brain. Last week, I interviewed an expert on autophagy and we discussed how one of the most important functions of it is to clear away protein aggregates.”

“Nucleoli form ribosomes, the protein factories of cells. It is thought that as the nucleolus gets smaller, it is better at balancing the need to grow with the need to repair and correct mistakes such that repairing and preventing damage become better.”

“> "However, when nitric oxide is produced within the brain in excess by a protein called inducible nitric oxide synthase, neurons start dying," said Pahan. > "This study has become more fascinating than we thought," said Pahan.”

“Vitamin C supplementation also prevented the nicotine-induced increases in surfactant apoprotein-B protein. [...] > Prenatal nicotine exposure significantly decreased levels of elastin content in the lungs of offspring, and these effects were slightly attenuated by vitamin C.”

“From the article: "The type of polyphenol found in green tea has recently been shown to regenerate elastin, an essential protein that gives the artery its stretchy, yet study, texture," explains lead author Shuji Setozaki.”

“Telomeres and how they relate to aging. How antioxidants prevent damage to DNA, lipid membranes, and proteins in the body. Supplemental vitamin E and the interaction between alpha and gamma tocopherols.”
