Easy Whey to Prevent LPS Induced Inflammation? Whey Protein Prevents LPS Binding to TRL-4 and IL-8 Production. Surprise: Pressurized Denatured Whey Works Best!
Unlikely that this or whatever whey protein you have bought as of late was pressurized with an Avure High Pressure Processing System at more than 500mPa in order to denature it (yeah you're reading right) and produce a bunch of fancy new peptides which appear to have even more potent anti-LPS effects than those in regular whey protein (hydrolysate). Saturday's post on saturated fatty acids and their negative effects on post-prandial endotoxemia has turned out to be (un-)surprisingly popular. I am still not sure if this will be same for the post at hand; and that despite the fact that it revolves around the exact same topic, namely the inflammatory reaction to lipopolysaccharides (LPS). In the case of endotoxins such as LPS, the inflammation, which is, as you all should by now be aware of, an endogenous "alert, defense and repair" reaction of our bodies, is actually triggered by their interaction with the so-called toll-like-receptor. Now scientists from the McGi...
