Decrease in sACE2 during a weight loss diet intervention was associated with improvements in fat mass and markers of chronic inflammation.
Weight loss may lead to beneficial changes in inflammation and fat mass through sACE2 modulation.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Decrease in sACE2 during a weight loss diet intervention was associated with improvements in metabolic health, fat mass and markers of angiotensin peptide metabolism, vascular injury, renal function, chronic inflammation and oxidative stress.
Why this rating
Based on the comprehensive analysis of health markers in a large cohort.

- Athletes aiming to reduce fat mass and preserve FFM should consume protein intakes in the range of ∼1.8-2.7 g kg(-1) d(-1).Strong
- A minimum daily protein intake of ≥1.6 g/kg is necessary to observe significant improvements in muscle mass from whey protein supplementation.Strong
- Most athletes ideally need 1.2 to 2.0 grams/kg of body weight/day of protein, preferably split across 3-4 meals.Strong
