Relevance of microbial fermentation for long-term health effects of high protein diets
Mirjana Rajilić-Stojanović
Abstract:Proteins are important macronutrients with several beneficial health effects. Today, protein-rich diets are gaining popularity, especially in the context of achieving or preserving a healthy weight. However, epidemiological studies associate long-term consumption of proteinrich diets with adverse health outcomes and increased mortality. These adverse effects, at least partially, are mediated by the activity of microbial products obtained by protein fermentation. Undigested food components reach the colon, wher… Show more
