Scientists David Baker's UW lab are using generative AI to target 'undruggable' proteins for creating new drugs and ...

A research team uncovers a crucial molecular pathway by which sucrose, long known as a key energy source, also acts as a ...

leucine increased insulin levels. While isoleucine and leucine are both BCAAs, leucine is the potent stimulator of muscle protein synthesis (the process by which cells make proteins). However, ...

You've likely heard about the benefits of protein for burning belly fat, weight loss and maintaining lean muscle mass as you ...

Meat may dominate the protein conversation, but plant-based options like tempeh could be your best bet for improving insulin sensitivity.

Groundbreaking new research reveals that muscle protein synthesis after exercise has no upper limit. Ingesting 100g of protein leads to sustained growth with minimal waste. The 25g rule is ...

3 Mechanisms of reduced protein synthesis leading to muscular atroph 3.1 Insulin/IGF-1-PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway inhibition Insulin and IGF-1 are potent anabolic factors that maintain muscle growth and ...

In 2019, they found a protein—S100A9—that could do something remarkable: it improved blood sugar, ketone levels, and lipid profiles in diabetic mice, all without insulin.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type J (PTPRJ) is a negative regulator of insulin signaling in neuronal cells, according to a new study, and appears to have a role in nervous system ...

During protein synthesis, or translation, genetic information transcribed in the cell's mRNA directs the stringing together of amino acids—the building blocks of proteins. As the translation ...

This short narrative review aims to provide an update on the relationship between increased dietary protein intake, amino acids, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, and to describe protein ...
