How diet affects nerve health proteins
This study looks at levels of two nerve-health proteins in people who follow different diets for at least a year. It may help show how vegan, vegetarian, or omnivorous eating affects your brain and nerves over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 40 years old
- You have been eating a vegan, vegetarian, or omnivorous diet for at least one full year
- You do not have any known nerve or brain disorders
- You do not have an eating disorder
- You do not drink too much alcohol
- You are not pregnant, have not had a recent infection, injury, or major weight change (more than 5 points on the BMI scale) in the last 12 weeks, and have not used acid-reducing medication like PPIs for a month or more

This study compares how well the body digests protein from plant-based versus meat-based diets in young adults (18–23) and older adults (65–75). Researchers want to understand if age and diet type affect how efficiently your body uses protein from food.
This study looks at how changing your diet might affect the connection between your gut, immune system, and brain in Parkinson's disease. If you qualify, you would likely follow a specific diet for a period to see if it helps with symptoms.
This study tests how short-chain fatty acids (natural compounds made by gut bacteria) affect brain activity in healthy men. You would get a supplement and undergo brain scans to see if it changes how your brain responds.
This study looks at how diet-related and blood “stress” markers relate to how thinking and memory decline over time in people with Alzheimer’s. It may help researchers find useful biomarkers to better track progression and guide future care.
This study looks at whether eating lean beef and dairy products daily affects brain health markers in people 65 and older. Researchers will track blood, urine, and other samples to see if beef consumption influences how your brain functions at the molecular level.
