Nutritional Transitions to More Plant Proteins and Less Animal Proteins: Understanding the Induced Metabolic Reorientations and Searching for Their Biomarkers (ProVegOmics)

The dietary shift from animal to plant protein sources is one of the key aspects of the nutritional transition towards more sustainable food system and diets. However the metabolic implication of this shift in protein sources are still poorly understood. This project aims to characterize and understand the metabolic orientations specifically induced by animal and vegetable dietary proteins, in order to better analyze the metabolic reorientations that would result from the expected increase in the share of plant proteins in different dietary contexts, especially those of the Western type, often associated with the development of metabolic deregulations (obesity and cardiometabolic risk).
