### protein | cytokine:

Different cytokine
* carry different messages to cells of the immune system.
* have different actions on the same cell
  - properties, some stimulate the immune response others depress it
* regulate antigen uptake and presentation of a precursor dendritic cell line.

Inflammatory cytokine
* Some inflammatory cytokines promote differentiations
  - osteoclast differentiations
* are know to induce astrogliosis.
* can either promote or prevent monocyte apoptosis.
* regulate proliferation of cultured human osteoblasts.

Lymphokine
* Some lymphokines signal macrophages and other phagocytes to destroy foreign invaders
  - spur the growth of more T cells
* are cytokines
  - soluble products of lymphocytes which mediate a variety of processes
* cause a local accumulation of lymphocytes and macrophages.
* promote cell growth, facilitate cell activation, destroy cancer cells, etc.
* regulate immunoglobulin isotype expression in an antigen specific immune response.
* represent a subset of cytokines.

Proinflammatory cytokine
* depress cardiac efficiency by a nitric oxide- dependent mechanism.
* regulate host immune and somatic tissues.

Damaged protein
* accumulate and cross-link in the skin, causing wrinkles and loss of elasticity.
* cause harm by sticking to healthy proteins and interfering with their function.

### protein:

Dietary protein
* Most dietary proteins have additive effects
* Some dietary proteins affect absorption
  - damage
  - kidney damage
  - magnesium absorption
* affects intestinal calcium absorption.
* decreases glomerular filtration rate
  - urinary calcium excretion
* enhance the mobilization of fatty acids from fat cells and fat loss.
* increases urinary calcium.
* is also the building block for muscle tissue
  - another interesting factor in bone health
  - found in most foods and is the primary source of amino acids for the body
  - related to calcium excretion
  - required for life
  - supplied from plant and animal sources
* provides another detoxifying agent by binding with heavy metals.
* supplies amino acids, the real nutrients.

### protein:

Different protein
* Many different proteins exist but all are composed of the same building units.
* can bind to the same or closely related sequence.
* carry different sequences of amino acids.
* contain various amounts of essential amino acids.
* found in different cells account for the differences.
* have different combinations of the amino acids
  - degrees of alpha helix, beta sheet, and random coil
  - orders of amino acids
* make our cells and bodies function differently.
* result in different characteristics.
* serve different functions.
* use different receptors.

Dishevelled protein
* All Dishevelled proteins have three highly conserved domains.
* lead to two signaling pathways.

Egg protein
* are present in miniscule amounts in vaccines which are prepared using chicken embryos.
* is found in influenza and yellow fever vaccines, which are prepared using chicken eggs.
* is the standard of quality protein to which all other proteins are compared
  - to which all other dietary proteins are compared
* tighten and squeeze out water which browns because of sugar content.
