How do we reconcile these apparent polar extremes? Let us first examine each study on its merits and its flaws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The Studies:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Study One:<ul><li>An observational study including 48,762 female participants from the Nurses\u2019 Health Study (NHS) cohort.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>The endpoint of healthy aging was determined as being free from 11 chronic diseases, having good mental health, and being without impairment in cognitive or physical function.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>A total of 3,721 or 7.6 percent of the cohort met the healthy aging definition.<\/li><\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Per the study, \u201cProtein intake was significantly associated with higher odds of healthy aging.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Study Two:<ul><li>A combination of human and mouse <em>in vivo<\/em> and <em>in vitro<\/em> nutritional studies.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>The study focused on the cellular pathway involving the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (the <a>mTORC1<\/a> activation signaling pathway).<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>The mTORC1 pathway plays a crucial role in the regulation of cell growth, metabolism, protein synthesis, and autophagy in response to various environmental and nutritional signals. It also integrates signals from nutrients, growth factors, and cellular energy status to coordinate cellular responses and maintain cellular homeostasis.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>The study demonstrated \u201cmTORC1 signaling in peripheral blood monocytes was increased in humans consuming protein-enriched meals.\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The study also demonstrated that protein-enriched meals, which are high in the essential amino acid leucine, \u201cpromote the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The Take-Aways:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Study One:<ul><li>The Nurses\u2019 Health Study is the familiar epidemiological observational study that is so commonly used as a basis for nutritional recommendations. However, it must be remembered that such studies, by their design, can only provide correlation, not causation.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Dietary assessment was done by food frequency questionnaires (FFQ) issued every four years from 1984 through 2016.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>The \u201cdeattenuated correlations between protein intake assessed by diet records and FFQs in prior validation studies in the NHS were 0.53 and 0.64,\u201d revealing only a moderate correlation at best (the closer to 1.0, the stronger and more reliable the correlation) between FFQs and actual protein intake.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>The endpoint, healthy aging, required the absence of these 11 chronic conditions: cancer (except for nonmelanoma skin cancer), type 2 diabetes, myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass graft surgery or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, congestive heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Parkinson\u2019s disease, multiple sclerosis, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>The study concluded that \u201cEach 3%-energy increment of animal or dairy protein intake was associated with 7% and 14% higher odds of healthy aging, whereas the association for each 3%-energy increment of plant protein associated with 38% higher odds of healthy aging, respectively.\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The plant-based protein affects were \u201cattenuated when adjusted for intakes of fruits and vegetables; thus, we [the study authors] cannot discount the contributions of other components of those foods that contributed to plant protein intake.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Study Two:<ul><li>A portion of the study protocol involved the use of animal models, the results of which are not always directly transferable or applicable to the human situation.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>The study was designed to explore mechanistic links between high-protein intake and cardiovascular pathologies.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Specifically, the study sought \u201cto evaluate whether high protein intake activates the amino acid\u2013mTORC1\u2013autophagy signaling pathway in people, similar to our [the study researchers\u2019] observation in Apo E-\/- mice.\u201d<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>The researchers found that \u201cthere is a critical dose above which protein intake activates this deleterious signaling pathway and atherogenesis.\u201d<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>The essential amino acid leucine was found to be the modulator of the response.<\/li><\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The results of their study suggest \u201chigh dietary protein intake, via increases in plasma leucine, induces dose-dependent activation of a signaling pathway in monocytes\/macrophages that is involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The Caveat:<\/em><br \/>These current studies represent a common conundrum in navigating current dietary research: conflicting and contrary results from research utilizing differing approaches. Clearly, one of the takeaway points is that the relationship between protein intake and cardiometabolic health is complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Protein rich diets are often associated with lower adiposity which, in turn, leads to a lower cardiometabolic risk. Yet, the current mechanistic study suggests a direct pathway involving protein consumption and elevated leucine levels, causing activation of the mTORC1 pathway and leading to an <em>increased<\/em> risk of cardiovascular morbidity. This implies that, much like the gut microbiome linked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC8517136\/\">TMAO (Trimethylamine-N-oxide)<\/a>&nbsp;pathway, there are non-lipid pathways and compounds (i.e., pathways not dependent on LDL cholesterol) that can substantially impact cardiovascular disease risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An important caveat to the data derived from the mechanistic human and mouse study \u2013 which would suggest that achieving a lower body weight through a high-protein diet introduces significant cardiovascular risk through alternative mechanisms \u2013 is that the animal model (a critical component of the study) utilized a specific type of genetically unique mice, specifically inbred to express increased vulnerability to developing ASCVD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The commentary from Professors Rose and Rusu<a href=\"#_ftn3\" id=\"_ftnref3\">[3]<\/a> perhaps best summarize the important points regarding both studies &#8212; that is, to make one wonder \u201cwhether there are certain benefits of particular dietary strategies <em>depending on an individual\u2019s life history and inherent susceptibility<\/em> [italics mine] (through genetics or otherwise). This is an important consideration, as the effectiveness of certain dietary manipulations depends on background strain and sex in mice and there is different susceptibility to certain cardiometabolic diseases in different people.\u201d &nbsp;Indeed, we may shape what the world gives us as much as we are shaped by the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Studies:<\/strong><br \/><a href=\"DOI:https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.ajcnut.2023.11.010\">Korat, Andres V Ardisson; Shea, M Kyla; Jacques, Paul F.; Sebastiani, Paola; Wang, Molin; Eliassen, A Heather; Willett, Walter C.; Sun, Qi.
