Summary
This study looks at how animal-based and plant-based proteins change your body's metabolism and immune signals. Twenty healthy adults will drink three different protein smoothies and give blood samples. The goal is to see if adding leucine to plant protein makes it act more like animal protein. This helps scientists understand how food affects heart health.
