Study on Protein Consumption and Cardiovascular Risk
Research conducted on protein intake highlights a study examining the impact of protein consumption on atherosclerosis. The study focused on the effects of high versus low protein diets on mTOR signaling, a pathway associated with growth in the body. By analyzing 23 human subjects, the study revealed that protein-rich meals, particularly containing sugar-enriched and canola oil-infused proteins, might elevate processes linked to atherosclerosis. However, the study's animal model arm, involving mice genetically predisposed to cardiovascular issues, did not examine atherosclerosis markers directly in humans.
