A Surprising Brain Signal Could Explain Why Eating Less Protein Extends Lifespan
A new paper suggests that limiting protein intake triggers a coordinated response throughout the body that may help explain how protein restriction affects healthy aging. Animals respond to protein restriction, or reduced protein in their diet, by changing how they use energy, grow, and choose food. These adjustments may also help explain why eating less [...]
A signal with a wide range: When protein is scarce in food, it seems that not only individual cells react. A new perspective contribution proposes to understand changes in metabolism, hormones, brain and behavior as a common adaptation program. This model could explain why protein restriction in model organisms also affects the lifespan. Baton Rouge (U.S.A.). Less protein in food [...] The post Unexpected brain signal could explain why little pr…
High-Protein Diets May Accelerate Aging by Switching On a Single Longevity
A high-protein diet, long celebrated by athletes and weight-loss enthusiasts as a near-universal ticket to better health, may carry a hidden cost: accelerated aging. A new study published in the Journal of Advanced Research suggests that pushing dietary protein beyond a moderate level shortens lifespan in fruit flies by activating a single gene that disrupts […]
A recent study suggests that limiting protein intake triggers a coordinated response throughout the body, which can help explain how protein restriction impacts healthy aging. Researchers at the Pennsylvania Biomedical Research Center, Louisiana State University, investigated how animals respond to protein reduction in the diet and how these changes may be linked to increased longevity. Mechanisms of adaptation to protein restriction Organisms d…
