Protein intakes affects erythrocyte glutathione synthesis in young healthy adults in a repeated-measures trial

CONCLUSION: A protein intake of 1.0 g⋅kg-1⋅d-1 maximized GSH synthesis which is in agreement with earlier IAAO-derived protein requirements of 0.93 to 1.2g⋅kg-1⋅d-1. These findings suggest that recommendations based on NB (0.66g⋅kg-1⋅d-1) may underestimate protein needs for adequate health.CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRY: # NCT02971046, https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02971046.PMID:37992970 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2023.11.008
