Indiana University School of Medicine researchers have identified a small protein with a big role in lowering plasma glucose and increasing insulin sensitivity.

However, they did find that low - carb diets were associated with significant decreases in body weight as well as improvements in several cardiovascular risk factors, including decreases in triglycerides, fasting glucose, blood pressure, body mass index, abdominal circumference, plasma insulin and c - reactive protein, as well as an increase in HDL «good» cholesterol.

After control for potential confounders, women in the highest quintile of PHVO intake had higher plasma concentrations of C - reactive protein (CRP; percentage difference from lowest quintile: 45 %; P for trend: < 0.01), tumor necrosis factor - α (TNF - α; 66 %; P for trend: < 0.01), interleukin - 6 (72 %; P for trend: < 0.05), and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule - 1 (sICAM - 1; 22 %; P for trend: < 0.01) than did women in the lowest quintile.

Since plant protein correlates negatively with plasma cholesterol, does that mean plant protein correlates with lower cancer risk?

However, soy protein appears to have several other mechanisms by which it lowers cholesterol (i.e. isoflavones, endocrine effects, fiber, saponins, etc.) The specific effects of dietary protein on plasma cholesterol concentrations are well documented: animal proteins tend to be hypercholesterolemic as compared to plant proteins.

It is hypothesized that feeding soy protein lowers plasma cholesterol concentration by causing an increase in plasma thyroxine concentrations.

The study found athletes had significantly lower blood lactate levels and plasma creatine kinase levels (this is a marker of protein regulation and overtraining).

Furthermore, preliminary studies indicate that one of soy's protein fractions, 7S, may have a role in inhibiting the development of atherosclerosis by acting directly on the artery wall rather than on plasma lipids, or low - density lipoprotein cholesterol receptors.
