Background: Plasma sulfur amino acids (SAAs), particularly cysteine, are associated with obesity. One proposed mechanism is the altered regulation of the stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) enzyme. Changes in the SCD enzyme activity have been linked to obesity, as well as to plasma SAA concentrations.

- Plasma sulfur amino acids (SAAs) like methionine and cysteine may contribute to obesity and cardiometabolic issues, but research on how diet affects their levels is limited.
- The study analyzed data from 1,145 participants to explore how dietary intake of SAAs and protein correlates with plasma SAA concentrations, utilizing food frequency questionnaires and various diet quality scores.
- Results indicated that higher intake of total SAAs and proteins was linked to increased plasma tCys and cystathionine, with specific intake patterns showing different effects on other SAAs and overall diet quality showing a connection to lower plasma tHcy levels.
