stronger muscles with less protein in the dish. Studio Telethon

This article is a clear answer to all those who are afraid of getting insufficient protein if they decide to practice vegetarianism.

Milan, November 2 (Reuters) - A diet low in protein can help combat muscle degeneration caused by diseases such as muscular dystrophy. But more generally, eating less meat could help slow the aging process. The suggests a study funded by the Italian Telethon and published in 'Nature Medicine ', conducted by Paolo Bonaldo, University of Padova, and Marco Sandri, Venetian Institute of Molecular Medicine of the University and Padua. Seeking other researchers have also collaborated Telethon, as the University of Ferrara Luciano Merlini, Nadir Maraldi Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute of the University of Bologna and Paolo Bernardi Padova.Il Italian team has demonstrated for the first time you can improve Symptoms of Bethlem myopathy and Ullrich muscular dystrophy by controlling the so-called autophagy (self-digestion) , the physiological process which removes cells toxic substances or portions of cellular damage. The two rare genetic diseases - said in a statement Telethon - are due to a defect in collagen VI, the protein responsible for anchoring of the muscle fibers to their external support structure (the matrix). In 2008, the same researchers had shown that the genetic defect causes an alteration of mitochondria, the powerhouses of cells: the progression of the disease, defective mitochondria accumulate in the muscle cells and lead to death. Now scientists have found that these mechanisms are closely related to an inefficient autophagy in both mice and dystrophic muscle biopsies taken from patients. They tried that, thanks to a diet low-protein or a drug treatment ad hoc, it can promote the 'clean cell' in dystrophic mice enough to remove the defective mitochondria clean and maintain muscle fibers from waste matter. In this way you get a significant improvement in the health of muscles, which in animal models has resulted in an increase in muscle strength. "Autophagy is very important for recycling 'intelligent' of substances that accumulate in the cell - explains Bonaldo - Provides metabolic energy when the intake is insufficient and prevents cell death when the cell is packed with waste materials. It can be controlled with diet or drug treatment could be targeted una strategia vincente per contrastare la progressione della distrofia di Ullrich e della miopatia di Bethlem". Più in generale, ritengono gli scienziati, "i l controllo dell'autofagia potrebbe contribuire a contrastare l'invecchiamento delle cellule legato all'età: consumando una dieta povera di proteine e di aminoacidi e facendo tanto movimento, si può 'dare una mano' ad attivare questo meccanismo e a mantenere attivo il metabolismo basale del nostro corpo ", puntualizzano gli studiosi. "E' importante però mantenere un giusto equilibrio", avverte Sandri. Infatti, "se l'autofagia viene attivata in modo eccessivo la cellula è portata di fatto ad 'autodigerirsi' e quindi a morire. Occorre quindi poter controllare This activation usually occurs in nature as the right balance is always the winning strategy. "
