There’s reasonable evidence that fasted training is suboptimal, so we advise that you consume at least 15 grams of (net) carbohydrate and 0.3 g/kg protein within 3 hours of starting your weight lifting sessions. Higher carbohydrate intakes[1.2g/kg/hour]may be beneficial if you train twice ...
The historical focus on protein–protein interactions in biological systems, at the expense of attention given to interactions between other classes of molecules, has overlooked important and clinically relevant processes and points of p... VH Trang,PD Senter - 《Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A》 被引...
protein on kidney function. The studies cited by KDOQI are observational and on end-stage renal disease. Not mild kidney disease or slightly impaired renal function. If I had ESRD, I’d rather play it safe and not enroll in one of Jose Antonio’s high protein diet studies (~4.4 g/kg...
