The study used a chemical measurement called nitrogen balance to determine whether the subjects were getting
enough usable protein from the mixture.
These aren't whole meat sources, and are simply low - quality substitutions with
less usable protein, and lower nutritional value overall.
The labels on commercial pet foods list crude protein values, which indicate overall protein in the package rather than the amount
of usable protein.
Nusinersen and similar compounds being developed for spinal muscular atrophy focus on increasing or making more of the SMN gene product that gets converted
into usable protein.
One such recent breakthrough is the use of a CRISPR formed from mouth bacterium that is capable of breaking RNA, the part of cells that help transform genes
into usable proteins.
Rice, corn, fruit, wheat flour, dried beans and peas supply
enough usable protein to safely maintain our health.
So I was confused about the whole cooking / amino acids thing, so I just assumed that it was due to the extremely high temperatures required to prepare animal products which resulted in the destruction of the amino acids /
usable protein.
Without high - quality,
usable protein, growth, repair, immunity, hormone formation and all metabolic processes will suffer.
