    TLDR Vegetable protein lowers cholesterol and protein deficiency can cause health issues.
    The document discussed how dietary protein influences cholesterol and essential fatty acid (EFA) metabolism. It highlighted that vegetable protein decreases cholesterol absorption and increases its excretion, potentially due to non-protein components. Different proteins can affect hormone secretion, modifying enzyme activities related to cholesterol and EFA metabolism. Protein deficiency severely impacts PUFA levels, leading to clinical symptoms like hair loss and dermatitis, and increases EFA requirements. Additionally, low-protein diets may enhance tissue lipid peroxidation due to reduced antioxidative enzyme efficiency.
