Biochemical and redox implications of high-protein diet and probiotics administration in Wistar rats

The human body relies on the joint action of several systems to carry out physiological processes, which require energy transformations. While redox reactions are critical for cellular metabolism, an imbalance can be harmful. Studies have shown that food choices can influence redox imbalance, particularly in those consuming high-protein diets. Probiotics have become a popular supplement among physically active individuals to improve gut health. However, the metabolic and redox implications and effectiveness of their use in conjunction with a high-protein diet are still unclear.
