Is Plant Protein Equally As Effective At Promoting Lean Muscle Mass Compared To Meat?

Erythropoietin is equally effective as fresh-blood transfusion at reducing infarct size in anemic rats.

OBJECTIVE We recently demonstrated that transfusion of anemic animals up to 100 g/L hemoglobin with fresh blood protects the heart from ischemic injuries following myocardial infarction. Erythropoietin has cardioprotective effects independent of its erythropoietic activity. The objective of this study was to compare the cardioprotective effects of erythropoietin treatment to fresh-blood transfu...

Plant extracts as natural antioxidants in meat and meat products.

Antioxidants are used to minimize the oxidative changes in meat and meat products. Oxidative changes may have negative effects on the quality of meat and meat products, causing changes in their sensory and nutritional properties. Although synthetic antioxidants have already been used but in recent years, the demand for natural antioxidants has been increased mainly because of adverse effects of...

Lean meat and heart health.

The general health message to the public about meat consumption is both confusing and misleading. It is stated that meat is not good for health because meat is rich in fat and cholesterol and high intakes are associated with increased blood cholesterol levels and coronary heart disease (CHD). This paper reviewed 54 studies from the literature in relation to red meat consumption and CHD risk fac...

Induced fibrillation is equally effective as crystalloid cardioplegia in the protection of fetal myocardial function.

BACKGROUND Fetal cardiac intervention represents a potential advance in the treatment of congenital cardiac lesions that increase in complexity during development. Prenatal repair of a primary defect might prevent pathologic blood-flow patterns that can result in hypoplasia of a cardiac chamber or great vessel. However, strategies to optimize fetal myocardial protection have not been studied. A...
