Patients with cancer are susceptible to experiencing the loss of skeletal muscle mass. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate whether a high-protein diet (HPD) or isolated branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) intake is associated with an increased skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) in ...
High Protein Diet and DHA Supplementation may be Effective to Recover the Impaired Immune Function in Irradiated RatsMost cancer patients with radiation treatment have a tendency to avoid animal foods and prefer vegetables which may cause accelerated malnutrition with impairment of immune function. These...
As well, mice genetically predisposed tobreast cancerwere put on these two diets and almost half of them on the Western diet developed breast cancer within their first year of life while none on the low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet did. Interestingly, only one on the Western diet reached a...
Some people may opt for a high-protein diet for medical reasons, such as undergoing treatment for cancer or wound-healing. People withkidney problems who are on dialysismay also need to go on a high-protein diet because dialysis treatment filters protein from the body along with other waste. ...
Women need at least 50 grams of protein a day -- men about 60 grams per day. With a high-protein diet, it can be much more than that. This extra protein can come from beans, meat, nuts, grains, eggs, seafood, cheese or vegetarian sources like soy. These diets often restrict carbs...
Is a Low-Carb Diet Right for You? If you're considering a high-protein diet, check with your doctor or a nutritionist to see if it's OK for you. They can help you come up with a plan that will make sure you're getting enoughfruits and vegetables, and that you're getting lean ...
Possible nutrient deficiencies.A high-protein diet lacks in dietary fiber which can cause constipation and other health concerns. Getting enough dietary fiber is not only important for colonic health, but it also helps reduce inflammation and protect against cancer. ...
A high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet has been suggested to normalize metabolic activity, ensure normal growth, normalize muscle function, and minimize hepatomegaly. This diet provides adequate substrates for gluconeogenesis while reducing the need for glycogen storage. Patients with refractory hypoglycemia...
protein intake had a 1.3 higher risk of faster GFR loss. The finding itself is not new. Many previous studies have shown that a high-protein diet may harm kidney function, and this is why patients with a known early-stage chronic kidney disease are recommended a low-protein diet by their...
The present study evaluates the effects of a low-carbohydrate high-protein diet (HPD) on circadian behavior and peripheral circadian clocks in mice. Circadian rhythms of locomotor activity and core body temperature remained normal in mice fed with the HPD diet (HPD mice), suggesting that it did...
