Dietary protein, their metabolism and role throughout life

Proteins as chains of amino acids are involved in almost every process in the human body. With a vast number of important functions such as enzymes, transcription factors, binding proteins, hormones, transmembrane transporters and channels, receptors, structural and signaling proteins adequate protein intake is essential at all stages of life. The most important role of dietary protein is to provide amino acids required for the synthesis of new proteins. Therefore, adequate protein intake is important at all stages of life. This workshop aims to give an overview of dietary protein intake recommendations throughout the lifespan, from children to older adults, and to address specifics that come with a particular life stage.
