Article Synopsis
- Increased dietary protein at breakfast may improve cardiometabolic health in adolescents, but its effects on molecular changes were previously unknown.
- A study with 30 adolescents examined the impact of high-protein (HP) and normal-protein (NP) breakfasts versus skipping breakfast on the expression of circulating miRNAs linked to cardiometabolic health over six months.
- Results showed that the HP breakfast led to a significant increase in miR-126-3p expression, suggesting that higher protein intake may positively influence cardiometabolic health and highlight the importance of breakfast during this crucial developmental stage.*
This study examined the acute effects of 7-d energy restriction normal-protein (NP; ∼15% of daily intake as protein) compared with higher-protein (HP; ∼38% of daily intake as protein) diets varying in quantities of fresh, lean beef on circulating miRNA expression associated with cardiometabolic disease in 16 women with overweight (mean ± SD; age: 35 ± 8.7 y; body mass index: 28.5 ± 1.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects of dietary patterns, varying in red meat quantity, on the expression of circulating microRNAs (miRNAs), which are emerging biomarkers of metabolic dysfunction and chronic disease severity.
Methods: Secondary analyses were performed on plasma samples collected within a randomized, crossover design study in 16 women with overweight (mean ± standard deviation, age = 33 ± 9.
