Scientists from the University of Missouri have determined that the protein may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, particularly heart attack. About it write the Western news agencies.
The researchers note that the increase in protein levels in the body contributes to the destruction of most of the plaque in the arteries. He frequently contributes to the development of various cardiovascular diseases. Protein does not develop atherosclerosis, common among men and women over the age of forty years.
Protein has a special growth factor igf-1, insulin-like. It breaks down plaque in the arteries, thereby increasing their throughput. Protein spreads through the blood with white blood cells that perform the function of cleaner. Especially useful will be to add to the diet products with protein for those whose age exceeds fifty years.
For information on the effects of protein on the circulatory system scientists had to conduct some research. During the experiments adult individuals of rats was given only the foods that contain protein. In the end, it turned out that the number of deaths in animals due to problems with the circulatory system was reduced to 0.001 per cent.
