Quotes about Protein

Water, fruit, tuna, snacks, nuts for mid-afternoon, my egg -- I just packed that in a minute. This is all the food that will keep us alert. Yes, a good source of protein, fiber, carbohydrates -- all the nutrients brain needs to get through the afternoon.

Jeanie Subach

Mice deficient in this protein, called p11, display depression-like behaviors, while those with sufficient amounts behave as if they have been treated with antidepressants.

Paul Greengard

The first incarnation was where the protein was a product. Now we have entered a phase where the protein isn't the product, but a means to an end.

Jim Swartz

Theoretically, with this antifreeze protein we might be able to store an organ at minus 6 degrees (21 degrees Fahrenheit). Hopefully, it would be able to last longer so that you would have longer to do tissue matching to get the organ to the patient and just increase the shelf life of organs.

Laurie Graham

Be on the lookout for times you eat when you're not hungry. Look at portion sizes and the balance of foods on your plate. Are you getting items from each food group, a good balance of carbohydrates, protein and fat?

Leslie Fontenot

People can choose their own food. Most pantries won't be able to provide that [protein]-it's wonderful to be able to give that to the people.

Deborah Nigrelli

From what I understand, this blue color is caused by a protein. The blue color is in the mucus of the fish. You can actually scrape some of it off and put it in clear water and you'll see the blue pigment.

Doug Welch

So far, we have demonstrated that the engineered protein cages can target cancer cells grown in a dish and that we can house anti-cancer agents within their interior cavity, but we haven't demonstrated their effectiveness in animals. That will come in future studies.

Michelle Flenniken

We think people will like these diets better than low-fat high carbohydrate diets because it gives them a much bigger range of foods to eat. People, for the most part, like the taste of protein and higher fat foods.

Frank Sacks

We have shown that a gene called p11 is involved in the multiple complex changes that underlie depression. Our findings demonstrate that patients with depression, and mice that model this disease, have decreased levels of p11 protein, and they suggest that drugs that increase p11 are likely to have anti-depressant properties.

Per Svenningsson

We use their affinity for ice as a tool to purify the protein.

Peter Davies

Fish is an excellent low-fat food and a great source of protein, vitamins and minerals. We want people to continue to eat fish because fish is good for them - just be smart.

Dr. Maxine Hayes

Protein helps satiety, so you're more likely to stay on your diet.

Osama Hamdy

We had been accumulating clues that the glutamine tract expansion is clearly what is important for disease because that's the mutation. But we also concluded that there was something else beyond the glutamine that's really mediating the toxicity of the protein.

Huda Y. Zoghbi

It's very fast. You turn on a G protein, and it immediately targets the mechanism to modify release.

Simon Alford

After a disaster strikes, it can be very devastating and very challenging. You're going to need a lot of strength and energy, and the American Red Cross suggests you go for the high protein items.

Ann Sexton

Our Board and management team are united in the belief that we must take bold action now to lead the emerging era of molecular medicine with leading positions in both genetic and protein analysis.

Tony White

In addition to being a low-fat source of protein, beans are sky high in soluble fiber.

Sara Murkowski

That's not a license to chow down on fatty meats. The Food Pyramid suggests more low-fat dairy and fish, and beans to increase protein.

Barbara Rolls

Your body can use only so much protein, and then some of it is just converted into fat instead of going to your muscles.

Mike Bracko

A calorie is a calorie is a calorie. It doesn't matter whether it's protein, it doesn't matter whether it's carbohydrate, it doesn't matter whether it's fat. If you take in more than you burn off, you get fat.

Tony Little

PEG is the gold standard for making a film or coating that is protein resistant. But it has been difficult to get it to work on a range of materials.

Ashutosh Chilkoti

Have a small meal or snack beforehand that includes low-fat protein.

Arthur Agatston

We knew there were always wheat and dairy derivatives in there, but they were not the protein component.

Cathy Kapica

This can speed evolution of complex protein machines.

Susan Rosenberg

We have shown that a gene (or protein) called p11 is involved in the multiple complex changes that underlie depression.

Per Svenningsson

Because of its stability, the phage protein makes a better model to create protein diversity in a test tube.

Jason Miller

There aren't any calories in caffeine. Calories are only from protein, fats, carbohydrates and alcohol.

Sharron Coplin

Like a detective, Melinda traced this fibril-forming property down to a little peptide. Nobody expected that 1 percent of the protein could have the essence of the whole protein and could form fibrils on its own; I certainly didn't expect that. There were only seven amino acids in that fragment. Rebecca later found the peptide could be cut to only four amino acids and form fibrils.

David Eisenberg

Cancer is a case of normal functions running out of control. So one way to stop cancer is to stop the normal functioning of a particular protein.

Ridgway Scott

We get really hung up on the details of diet. Like how much protein should I eat, how much of this should I eat. It's the clutter that blocks the basic message. Eat smaller portions. Eat in moderation.

John Hastings

Eggs are a really affordable source of protein. You could hard boil those and take them to work as a snack.
