Abstract in brief

  • The BreakFast study is a research project that aims to see if eating a whey protein-rich breakfast can immediately influence autophagic flux, a cell-cleaning process important for aging and disease prevention, in healthy young adults.
  • The study involves 40 participants who will fast overnight, then provide blood samples before and after consuming a whey protein drink, with measurements taken to assess changes in autophagy and related biological markers.
  • The results will help determine if nutrients like protein can modulate autophagy in humans, which could have implications for developing nutritional strategies to prevent or treat diseases such as Alzheimer's and cancer.]
