Biologische werking van wei proteīne

The biological activity of undenatured dietary whey proteins: role of glutathione, Bounous G, Gold P Department of Surgery, Montreal General Hospital Research Institute, Quebec. "The presence in the serum albumin fraction of glutamylcysteine groups (rare in food protein) and the specific intramolecular bond as related to the undenatured conformation of the molecule are considered to be key factors in the glutathione-promoting activity of the protein mixture."

The influence of dietary whey protein on tissue glutathione and the diseases of aging Bounous G, Gervais F, Amer V, Batist G, Gold P Montreal General Hospital Research Institute, Quebec. "Hence a whey protein diet appears to enhance the liver and heart glutathione concentration in aging mice and to increase longevity over a 6.3 month observation period."

Glutathion helpt met vis tegen borstkanker.

Dat het eten van vis speciaal vette vis (zoals zalm, makreel,..) gezond is was reeds bekend. De hierin aanwezige omega3 vetzuren worden verantwoordelijk gehouden voor de kanker beschermende eigenschappen. Door veel vis te eten daalt de kans op borstkanker met wel 35%. Uit onderzoek onder 63.000 Chinezen in Signapore is nu gebleken dat vrouwen waarbij bepaalde Glutathiongenen (genen die de aanmaak van Glutathion regelen ) meer actief zijn tot wel 74% minder kans hebben op borstkanker.
