Branched Chain Amino Acids.

TL;DR: The fundamentals of BCAA metabolism in mammalian physiology are reviewed, showing how BCAAs and various catabolic products act as signaling molecules, activating programs ranging from protein synthesis to insulin secretion, and how these processes are integrated at an organismal level are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Perspective: Protein Requirements and Optimal Intakes in Aging: Are We Ready to Recommend More Than the Recommended Daily Allowance?

TL;DR: It is proposed that it should be recommended that older individuals consume ≥1.2 g protein · kg-1 · d-1 and that there should be an emphasis on the intake of the amino acid leucine, which plays a central role in stimulating skeletal muscle anabolism.

Sustainable valorisation of tomato pomace: A comprehensive review

TL;DR: Tomato pomace and its component are good sources of lycopene, dietary fibre, pectin, protein and oil through the specific extraction method, which is a current research hotspot that aims to make the industry sustainable.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protein intake trends and conformity with the Dietary Reference Intakes in the United States: analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2001-2014.

TL;DR: The majority of the US population exceeds minimum recommendations for protein intake and protein intake remains well below the upper end of the AMDR, indicating that protein intake, as a percentage of energy intake, is not excessive in the American diet.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maximizing the intersection of human health and the health of the environment with regard to the amount and type of protein produced and consumed in the United States.

TL;DR: A 25% decrease in protein intake paired with a 25% shift from animal food to plant food protein intake would best align protein intake with national dietary recommendations while simultaneously resulting in 40% fewer CO2eq emissions and 10% less consumptive water use.

Optimal diets for prevention of coronary heart disease.

TL;DR: Substantial evidence indicates that diets using nonhydrogenated unsaturated fats as the predominant form of dietary fat, whole grains as the main form of carbohydrates, an abundance of fruits and vegetables, and adequate omega-3 fatty acids can offer significant protection against CHD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Saturated fat, carbohydrate, and cardiovascular disease

TL;DR: Dietary efforts to improve the increasing burden of CVD risk associated with atherogenic dyslipidemia should primarily emphasize the limitation of refined carbohydrate intakes and a reduction in excess adiposity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protein, weight management, and satiety

TL;DR: Any potential benefits associated with a moderately elevated protein intake must be evaluated in the light of customary dietary practices and individual variability.

Meta-analysis of nitrogen balance studies for estimating protein requirements in healthy adults

TL;DR: This meta-analysis provides new recommendations for dietary reference values, ie, an EAR (median) and RDA (97.5th percentile) for healthy adults of 105 and 132 mg N x kg (-1) x d(-1) (0.65 and 0.83 g good-quality protein x kg(-1), respectively.
