The previous studies on this issue give inconclusive results. So the investigators aimed to investigate this subject and compare the blood tests between subjects using and not using protein supplements.

As more people are doing regular exercises, people using protein supplements are also increasing. The effects of these substances on blood lipid profiles, biochemical, hematological parameters, inflammatory and glucose metabolism markers are not well known. So the investigators of this study planned to search the effects of these substances on blood tests.
