Functions Sulfur is a part of some of the amino acids in your body and is involved in protein synthesis, as well as several enzyme reactions It helps with the production of collagen, which is a substance that forms connective tissues, cell structure and artery walls. Additionally, it is a ...
Beans and lentils contain lots of fibre, but they also contain raffinose, a complex sugar that we don't process well. These sugars make their way to the intestine, where your gut goes to town using them for energy, resulting in hydrogen, methane and even smelly sulphur. Do pulses cause g...
Meat is the powerhouse ofumamiflavor. The savory flavor lies in the unique blend of protein, sugar and fat that is transformed into highly palatable flavors by cooking meat at high temperatures. Usually, meat is aged for a few hours, during which proteins break down and release amino acids, ...
If you’re in search of a health-conscious, low carb, high protein meal, you may want to check out Whole Foods, the supermarket behemoth (with over 460 locations in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom) known for its organic, vegan, gluten-free, whole food diet. However,...
conversion of H2O2 to H2O and O2 (catalase and various peroxidases), and the vitamins C, E and A (and other carotenoids), along with glutathione, ubiquinone, uric acid (Brown and Borutaite, in press), and interestingly but largely ignored the mitochondrial protein cytochrome c (Mailer, 1990...
Fd I is a DNA-binding protein which interacts by single alpha-helix binding in the wide groove of DNA. The binding is regulated by iron(II) levels in the cell. The 7Fe form binds to DNA and represses gene expression. Only the DNA-bound form of the 7Fe Fd I will take up iron(II...

Effects of dietary protein content, addition of nonessential amino acids and dietary methionine to cysteine balance on responses to dietary sulphur-containing amino acids in broilers. Br. Poult. Sci. 1996, 37, 623–639. [CrossRef] [PubMed] 27. Merat, P. Potential usefulness of the Na (...
Protein substitutes are derived from either phenylalanine free amino acids (L-AAs) or a combination of low phenylalanine peptides with added amino acids (casein glycomacropeptide: CGMP). They are usually supplemented with vitamins, minerals and trace elements, and may contain essential and/or long...
Somatostatin Somatostatin, also known as growth hormone–inhibiting hormone or by several other names, is a peptide hormone that regulates the endocrine system and affects neurotransmission and cell proliferation via interaction with G protein-coupled somatostatin receptors and inhibition of the release of...
