- High insulin triggers high LDL. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3589672/
For some reason, some people have problems with HAD or SCHAD-which is a bioavailable enzyme that breaks down short chained fatty acids. With that I believe triggers less glutamate/other dehydrogenases and this triggers hyperinsulinemia.

It may be the lack of thyroxin, riboflavin, B12...screening for deficiencies would be a huge help.
On myself at least, I tried leucine as a supplement once and my cholesterol spiked. I tried taurine and my cholesterol spiked. I also gained weight.
Monster drinks have both leucine and taurine in them. I didn't try glutimate, I already know that one is trouble but didn't think whey protein/soy protein would do it.
I've also taken lysine and carnitine and these did not affect my cholesterol or weight whatsoever. Carnitine cleared up my endometriois really well so I continued to take it. http://www.actabp.pl/pdf/1_1983/11.pdf
And I had lipid panels done in between Taurine or Leucine supplementation and there was no change. I'm not sure if other factors are at work, I didn't get to check other factors outside of the basic stuff (glucose, LDL, etc.)
Just recently, unsuspecting- I had protein Luna bars and again- the same episode. Weight gain and high cholesterol and luna bars were the only item I changed in my diet between bloodwork.
I saw that they added whey protein and soy protein and I don't know what the chemical make up of that was so I have to tread very carefully around that stuff.
Turning down food gets old really fast, but it seems to be a survival skill anymore.
I'm a runner-this shouldn't be happening.
