initiation factor (eIF4E) and cyclic AMP responsive element B (CREB) are known to be activated by radiation [37 - 40].
The translation
initiation factor, eIF4E, is an indirect target of mTOR because it is released by phosphorylation of its repressor 4E - BP1 by mTOR - raptor complex, thereby stimulating cap - dependent translation (7, 11, 12).

Other studies have shown that soy protein is less effective for body builders than whey protein because its amino acids are more likely to go into splanchnic circulation (stomach, small intestines, colon, liver, pancreas and spleen) than into peripheral regions such as muscle tissues.4, 5 This makes sense because whey protein provides greater amounts of the branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, isoleucine and valine as well as more methionine and lysine, all of which are critically needed for muscle building.6 - 9 Researchers have also found the low BCAA content of soy protein adversely affects muscle building by disrupting both leucine signaling10 and the activation of myogenic translation
initiation factors.

Breastfeeding is an unequalled way of providing ideal food for the healthy growth and development of infants1, providing protection from morbidity and mortality due to infectious diseases2 and chronic diseases later in life.3 Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended, starting within one hour of birth and for the first 6 months of life, with continued breastfeeding to 2 years of age and beyond.4 However, rates of
initiation, exclusive breastfeeding and breastfeeding duration have fallen since the widespread introduction and promotion of breast - milk substitutes.5 Successful breastfeeding depends on a number of
