Q: 

Does is matter if you drink your protein, eat a bar or eat animal protein.

A: We had a discussion about this at my last support group meeting. I am sureyou will get different responses depending on the nutritionist, but mineprefers that you only use protein bars occassionally. She wants us to tryto get as much of our protein in "good healthy" food but knowsthat with new post-ops especially, this isn''t possible, so proteinsupplements in powder or liquid form are necessary. they also contributeto our liquid intake which is also necessary. Protein bars take up a lotof food space, and they can be very high in calories and carbs, so be verychoosy which ones you eat. Good luck:) It makes a HUGE difference in your...


Q: 

what Is Protein C Deficiency?

A: Protein C deficiency is a genetic trait that predisposes one to thrombotic disease, in which the blood clots too much, causing blood vessel blockages, or embolism. Protein C deficiency is associated with thrombosis in the veins, but not the arteries. the condition is very rare, affecting only 0.2 to 0.5% of the population.

Other benefits of vitamin K have been discovered and researched...


Q: 

what Is an Ubiquitination Assay?

A: Ubiquitination refers to the binding of the protein ubiquitin to other proteins by three different enzymes. A ubiquitination assay is a test that determines how much of this process occurs within the cell. Tests can be used to determine how different conditions affect protein binding, steps and structures that are important in the ubiquitinnation pathway, and the amount of protein in the cell. Inadequate or overabundant amounts have been linked to the development of many...


Q: 

what Causes Protein in the Urine?

A: Protein in the urine results from either excess protein in the body or impaired kidney function. This condition, called proteinuria, is usually short-lived and benign. In other more serious instances, increased urine protein levels can be indications of dangerous medical conditions..

Q: 

protein weight lifting/ excessive calories

A: Hi Ryan and thank you for your question! It"s a bit difficult for me to determine how many calories or protein grams you need without knowing your weight, height, activity level, age, etc. Basically for protein consumption, the traditional recommendations for lifters who want to gain lean body mass are .8 to 1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight. To determine your body weights in kilograms simply divide your weight in pounds by 2.2. For example someone weighing 160 pounds would divide 160 by 2.2 which would equal 72.7 kilos. Research in recent years has shown that protein consumption of even higher amounts in healthy athletes seem to not produce...

Q: 

what is Whey Protein Powder?

A: Whey protein is the highest quality and most nutritious protein available. Comprised of approximately 80% casein and 20% whey proteins, it is sometimes called the “fast protein” because of its quick metabolic absorption and speed of nourishment delivery to muscles. Whey protein powder is highly soluble and efficiently absorbed by the body. Valued by athletes and body builders, whey protein powder has the highest known biological value of any protein. Whey’s proportion of proteins that can be absorbed and incorporated into the proteins
