there’s a plateau of muscle protein synthesis at about 0.25 g/kg/meal, whereas that synthesis doesn’t plateau until about 0.4 g/kg/meal in older men8—that’s 27 g of protein per meal for a 150 lb older adult or 36 g per meal...
Differences between females and males abound among human traits and disease. For instance, the prevalence of common psychiatric and neurologic conditions such as major depressive disorder1, schizophrenia2, Parkinson’s disease3and Alzheimer’s disease (AD)4differ by sex. Even what constitutes disease ...
Generally, the proportions of older American men and women meeting the daily protein recommendations elevated as the number of eating occasions increased regardless of the minimum protein consumed per eating occasion cut-point.

In elderly individuals (those older than age 50) the finding of gross or microscopic (even transient) hematuria should trigger an extensive evaluation to rule outmalignancyinvolving thegenitourinary tract. The incidence ofbladder cancerand other malignancies involving the kidneys and theuretersis significa...
Such activities can provide valuable information on functional changes in the microbiota that may have significance for the health of the host. Fresh faecal samples were collected from forty-four breast-fed infants (twenty-four males, twenty females) and thirteen formula-fed infants (three males, ...

Six healthy adults, four males and two females, were studied after adaptation to dietary protein intakes of 1.5 and 0.38 g of protein/kilogram body weight/day. Dietary periods were from 7 to 15 days duration. 15N-glycine was used as a tracer, and was administered orally for 60 hr at 3-...
Several "single-run" experiments with older animals are summarized for comparison. Relationships between growth, food intake and liver lipid storage are discussed. Contról on cholesterol-free diets showed some decrease in liver cholesterol with increased percentages of dietary protein. Mean values varied...
Strategies to improve protein intake, particularly in frail older patients, may be considered as a therapeutic target. Copyright 2019 The Italian Society of Diabetology, the Italian Society for the Study of Atherosclerosis, the Italian Society of Human Nutrition, and the Department of Clinical ...
There was no age or dietary protein effect on serum albumin concentrations, but males had higher albumin concentrations than females (P < 0.0001). These results show that older persons are responsive to nutrient ingestion and dietary protein-related changes in albumin FSR. The greater albumin ...
