In a zero-oxygen environment, such as before slaughter, the protein is purple. Once butchered the myoglobin is exposed to oxygen; this triggers beef to turn bright red. Eventually, as meat rests in a ...

The cell NAD+/NADH ratio can constrain biomass synthesis and influence proliferation in nutrient-limited environments. However, which cell processes regulate the NAD+/NADH ratio is not known. Here, we ...

While oxidation did increase slightly with the 100g dose, it remained negligible compared to the muscle-building activity. The body is not torching that extra protein, it’s putting it to work.

The researchers also noted that whey protein may affect diastolic blood pressure when consuming more than 30 grams (g) of WPI per day, for 10 weeks, in people with a body mass index (BMI) of 25 to 30.

The “ anabolic window ” is the theory that drinking a protein shake around 30 minutes after a workout enhances exercise recovery and results. During this short time frame, it was believed that your ...

Protein intake appears to support protein oxidation, which helps preserve muscle glycogen and indirectly enhances endurance performance. However, protein ingestion, whether alone or combined with CHOs ...

Current sports nutrition guidelines recommend distributing protein intake in multiple equal meals throughout the day (1). This concept of protein distribution is primarily based on studies suggesting ...

For example, one study showed that when whey protein was stored at 113°F (45°C) for 15 weeks, there was a significant increase in oxidation, which led to the production of various compounds that ...

Here’s how your protein needs change as you move through life. Protein through the ages We have to eat protein every day, in part because old proteins get damaged or worn out, and new ones must ...

Many biomedical and biosensing applications require functionalization of surfaces with proteins. To this end, the E/K coiled-coil peptide heterodimeric system has been shown to be advantageous. First, ...
