and meat fat but cannot be synthetized by the body. This fatty acid has been shown recently to have health-promoting effects.
Dietary fats could affect glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity and may therefore have a crucial role in the development of type 2 diabetes (T2d).
Studies have indicated that replacing saturated fat with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats might be favourable in the prevention of T2d.
In line with this plant sources of fat have been suggested to be a better choice compared with animal sources.
Indeed high intakes of red meat and meat products have been shown to increase the risk of T2d.
Subsequently the importance of dietary fat content and food sources of fat remains to be clarified.
High-fat fermented milk*consumption also reduced the risk of developing diabetes by 20 %when comparing the highest consumers (180ml/day the top 10%of consumers) with the non-consumers (60%of participants).
In contrast to these findings there was no association found between intakes of low-fat dairy products and risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
but the increased risk was higher for lower fat meats (increased risk of type 2 diabetes for high fat meats 9%for low fat 24%)both referring to the risk
Our observations may contribute to clarifying previous findings regarding dietary fats and their food sources in relation to T2d.
The decreased risk at high intakes of high-fat dairy products but not of low-fat dairy products indicate that dairy fat at least partly explains observed protective associations between dairy intake and T2d.
Meat intake was associated with increased risk of developing diabetes regardless of fat content. She adds:
Our findings suggest that in contrast to animal fats in general fats specific to dairy products may have a role in prevention of type 2 diabetes.

#Breast milk reveals a correlation between dietary fats and academic successyou are what you eat the saying goes
Their findings show that the amount of omega-3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in a mother's milk--fats found primarily in certain fish nuts
On the other hand the amount of omega-6 fat in mother's milk--fats that come from vegetable oils such as corn
When the amount of DHA and linoleic acid (LA)--the most common omega-6 fat--were considered together they explained nearly half of the differences in test scores.
Omega-6 fats however undermine the effects of DHA and seem to be bad for brains.
Both kinds of omega fat must be obtained through diet. But because diets vary from place to place for their study Gaulin
and LA content--the good fat and the bad fat--in diets in 50 countries by examining published studies of the fatty acid profiles of women's breast milk.
The profiles are a useful measure for two reasons according to Gaulin. First because various kinds of fats interfere with one another in the body breast milk DHA shows how much of this brain-essential fat survives competition with omega-6. Second children receive their brain-building fats from their mothers.
Breast milk profiles indicate the amount of DHA children in each region receive in the womb through breastfeeding
Now the researchers are looking at diet as the key to brain-building fat since mothers need to acquire these fats in the first place.
Their results are particularly interesting in 21st-century North america Gaulin noted because our current agribusiness-based diets provide very low levels of DHA--among the lowest in the world.
Back in the 1960s in the middle of the cardiovascular disease epidemic people got the idea that saturated fats were bad
and polyunsaturated fats were explained good he. That's one reason margarine became so popular. But the polyunsaturated fats that were increased were the ones with omega-6 not omega-3.
So our message is that not only is it advisable to increase omega 3 intake it's highly advisable to decrease omega-6--the very fats that in the 1960s
and'70s we were told we should be eating more of. Gaulin added that mayonnaise is in general the most omega-6-laden food in the average person's refrigerator.

We tested a scenario where all countries were assumed to achieve an average balanced diet--without excessive consumption of sugars fats and meat products.
and there were many more changes in the non-coding part of the genome than in the parts of the genome that codes for protein.
Recent studies of fat intake and diabetes incidence support the notion that eating the right kind of fats is beneficial to health.
When people started eating less fat they compensated by eating more refined carbohydrates which stimulate insulin secretion and increase fat deposition.
The Joslin nutritional guidelines for diabetes recommend a diet with relatively high amounts of healthy fats and protein but moderately low amounts of carbohydrates.

Scientists analyze how influenza-related proteins help infect cellsa flu virus acts like a Trojan horse as it attacks
The Rice-Baylor team applied protein-folding algorithms developed by Onuchic and his colleagues to analyze how hemagglutinin reconfigures itself as it infects a cell.
It may be the only case known to human beings where a protein starts at a fixed point
Proteins are the molecular motors that spring from DNA and perform tasks essential to life and they are the prime focus of study for Onuchic and his colleagues at Rice's Center for Theoretical Biological Physics (CTBP).
The researchers use their energy landscape theory to determine the path an unfolded strand of amino acids takes as it collapses into a final functional protein.
Energy landscape theory predicts how a protein will fold no matter how fast it happens. In the case of hemagglutinin the unfolding and refolding happens in seconds.
During the process part of the protein cracks and releases fusion peptides. The fusion peptides are the most important part of the molecule said Rice postdoctoral researcher
Initially part of the protein forms a cap that protects the segments inside. Acidic conditions cause the cap to fall off
and the protein begins to reconfigure itself. The release of the fusion peptide which is hidden initially inside hemagglutinin is triggered by that giant conformational change Ma said.
When the cap is on the whole protein is said stable Noel. What we see in the simulation is that the hydrophobic pocket where the fusion peptides are buried is very unstable
But he suspects the inner part of the protein is conserved more highly. We're targeting the part that the virus cannot afford to change.
#Engineering a protein to prevent brain damage from toxic agentsresearch at New york University is paving the way for a breakthrough that may prevent brain damage in civilians

While bone health is associated often with calcium alone Calcium's interactions with inorganic phosphate Vitamin d and protein are important components of beneficial dairy consumption.
Combined Vitamin d and calcium supplementation has been shown to reduce the incidence of hip and other non-vertebral fractures among older populations with some studies suggesting that Vitamin d actually leads to lower rates of falling in subjects.
Dietary protein while often associated solely with muscle recovery also promotes bone formation by stimulating both Ca and Pi intestinal absorption and the production of a bone growth factor.
And while Vitamin d deficiency is associated with muscle weakness Vitamin d and protein supplementation are required together to improve strength.

#Progress in allergic asthma research after ingestion of fruitsresearchers at the UPM suggest that the interaction between two proteins can be the responsible for the allergic asthma episodes after eating an infected fruit.
A protein known as Alt a 1 and related to the virulence is found in the spores this protein is described as the major allergen of this fungus.
According to this research this protein can be a major cause of childhood asthma in US. When a pathogen infects a plant the defense response is activated producing an increase of certain proteins related to the defense (known as protein 5). Likewise the fungus increases the production of the proteins involved in attacks or virulence.
However the symptoms of rot by Alternaria alternata are seen not in some fruits for example in kiwifruit.
and they detected the presence of Alt a 1 a protein of fungal virulence. Also researchers studied how this protein is involved in the activation of defense protein 5 in kiwifruit.
Fourteen days after the infection the kiwifruits showed a regular aspect without apparent development of the fungus
and Kiwi proteins) they detected the presence of Alt a 1 in the pulp. What is more they observed that this fungal protein is found in the same areas that the defense protein of the kiwifruit.
Using computer modeling techniques they identified a surface area in Alt a 1 susceptible to interact with the defense protein.
In that interaction Alt a 1 is joined to a region of the protein 5 of the kiwifruit causing a remarkable decrease of its defense activity.
These results reveal that Alt a 1 is an inhibitor of the defense proteins of family 5
which is particularly important in processes of fungal infection. Researchers did observed not development of the fungus in kiwifruit

We had revealed already in previous studies reported in 2010 (PNAS) that a photoreceptive protein Opsin-5 exists in the quail's hypothalamus in the brain says Professor Yoshimura.
This Opsin-5 protein was expressed in the CSF-contacting neurons which protrudes towards the third ventricle of the brain.
In addition when the RNA interference method was used to inhibit the activity of the Opsin-5 protein expressed in the CSF-contacting neurons the secretion of the thyroid-stimulating hormone from the pars tuberalis of the pituitary gland was inhibited.

Using a combination of systems biology and bioinformatic techniques the scientists cleverly isolated proteins which when mutated abolished the plantâ##s ability to respond to CO2 stress.
Because other proteins known as proteases are needed to activate the EPF2 peptide the scientists also used a â#oeproteomicsâ#approach to identify a new protein that they called CRSP (CO2 Response Secreted Protease)
which they determined is crucial for activating the EPF2 peptide. â#oewe identified CRSP a secreted protein

This knowledge could help develop customized therapies like training the body's immune system to respond to certain proteins found in foods.
However determining which protein in a food causes an allergic response to a patient requires time-consuming tests that often ignore rare or unexpected allergens.
and accurately identify the culprit proteins even at very low concentrations. The method has been tested successfully in the context of cow milk allergy.
when the body's immune system mistakes a harmless food protein for a threat and attacks it as it would normally do with a bacterium or a virus. This causes symptoms like swelling rashes pain and even life-threatening anaphylactic shocks.
but that does not tell them which one of the numerous proteins in milk--and other foods--is causing the allergic response.
The team of Hubert Girault at EPFL has developed a highly sensitive method that uses a patient's Ige to determine specifically which protein induces allergic responses in them.
As the milk's proteins pass over the patient's Ige antibodies the ones that cause allergies are caught by them
The beads are washed then with a strong chemical that causes the allergy-inducing protein to dissociate from the patient's Ige antibodies.
The isolated culprit protein is identified then using mass spectrometry which is a technique that analyzes compounds according to their mass and electrical charge.
The method offers a personalized way to identify the exact proteins that can cause food allergies to a patient which can help develop an effective treatment.
Finally it provides higher accuracy than conventional allergy-testing methods as it can detect tiny amounts of allergic proteins
