Mycoprotein is a filamentous fungal protein that was first identified in the 1960s. A growing number of publications have investigated inter-relationships between mycoprotein intakes and aspects of human health. A narrative review was undertaken focusing on evidence from randomized controlled trials, clinical trials, intervention, and observational studies. Fifteen key publications were identified and undertaken in early/young adulthood, adulthood (mid-life) or older/advanced age. Main findings showed that fungal mycoprotein could contribute to an array of health benefits across the lifespan including improved lipid profiles, glycaemic markers, dietary fibre intakes, satiety effects and muscle/myofibrillar protein synthesis. Continued research is needed which would be worthwhile at both ends of the lifespan spectrum and specific population sub-groups.
真菌蛋白是一种丝状真菌蛋白，于20世纪60年代首次被发现。越来越多的出版物研究了真菌蛋白摄入量与人类健康各方面之间的相互关系。本研究进行了一项叙述性综述，重点关注随机对照试验、临床试验、干预研究和观察性研究的证据。共确定了15篇关键出版物，研究对象为青年/成年早期、成年期（中年）或老年/高龄人群。主要研究结果表明，真菌蛋白在整个生命周期中都能带来一系列健康益处，包括改善血脂水平、血糖指标、膳食纤维摄入量、饱腹感以及肌肉/肌原纤维蛋白合成。需要持续开展研究，这在生命周期两端以及特定人群亚组中都是值得的。
