The effects of a short-term (1-week) very low-calorie diet (850 calories) comparing low and normal protein content on cardiometabolic outcomes, glucose metabolism and autophagy

Background and Aims. Dietary restriction in healthy adults has been shown to promote cardiometabolic health and autophagy; the degradation and recycling of damaged and dysfunctional cytoplasmic contents. Low protein diets may further stimulate autophagy through mTOR inhibition mediated by low amino...
