Atkins Diet,Zone Diet,South Beach Diet,etc.,etc.,etc. Chances are you have known someone who has tried a high protein diet. In a new study,researchers found a relatively high proportion of women who reported using the practice of “eating more protein”to prevent weight gain,which was associated with reported weight loss.

 | Ever since the appetite-regulation hormone called leptin was discovered in 1994,scientists have sought to understand the mechanisms that control its action. It was known that leptin was made by fat cells,reduced appetite and interacted with insulin ,but the precise molecular details of its function –details that might enable the creation of [...] PCBP2 is a member of the poly(C)-binding protein (PCBP) family,which plays an important role in posttranscriptional and translational regulation by interacting with single-stranded poly(C) motifs in target mRNAs. Several PCBP family members have been reported to be involved in human malignancies. Here,we show that PCBP2 is upregulated in human glioma tissues and [...] Clumps of α-synuclein protein in nerve cells are hallmarks of many degenerative brain diseases,most notably Parkinson’s disease. “No one has been able to determine if Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites,hallmark pathologies in Parkinson’s disease can be degraded,” says Virginia Lee,PhD,director of the Center for Neurodegenerative Disease Research,at the Perelman School [...] Monash Institute of Medical Research scientists have found a protein in the female reproductive tract that protects against sexually transmitted diseases (STIs) such as chlamydia and herpes simplex virus (HSV). It is estimated that 450 million people worldwide are newly infected with STIs each year. Chlamydia has the highest infection rate of all the STIs [...] Background— Decreased expression of cardiac myosin binding protein C (cMyBPC) in the heart has been implicated as a consequence of mutations in cMyBPC that lead to abnormal contractile function at the myofilament level,thereby contributing to the development of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in humans. It has not been established whether increasing the levels of cMyBPC in [...] A protein known to regulate iron levels in the body has an unexpectedly important role in preventing a form of high blood pressure that affects the lungs,and in stabilizing the concentration of red cells in blood,according to a study in mice. ScienceDaily:Obesity News Researchers have identified a protein with broad virus-fighting properties that could be used as a weapon against deadly human pathogenic viruses such as HIV,Ebola,and others designated “priority pathogens”for national biosecurity purposes by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease. .
