Low-protein diets most often induce increased energy intake in an attempt to increase
protein intake to meet protein needs with a risk of accumulation as fat of the excess energy …

Background We sought to characterize the effects of dietary macronutrient composition on
various hormones implicated in the regulation of insulin sensitivity (IS) and energy …

Diets deficient in protein often increase food consumption, body weight and fat mass;
however, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. We compared the effects of …

Excess carbohydrate intake causes obesity in humans. On the other hand, acute
administration of fructose, glucose or sucrose in experimental animals has been shown to …

A primary factor in controlling and preventing obesity is through dietary manipulation. Diets
higher in protein have been shown to improve body composition and metabolic health …

The mechanism by which replacement of some dietary carbohydrates with protein during
weight loss favors lipid metabolism remains obscure. In this study, we investigated the effect …

Objective High‐protein diets are being promoted to reduce insulin resistance and hepatic
steatosis in metabolic syndrome. Therefore, the effect of protein source in high‐protein diets …

Although most of the proposed beneficial effects of fiber consumption have been attributed
to viscous and gel-forming properties of soluble fiber, it is mainly insoluble cereal fiber and …

Background A balanced intake of protein and constituent amino acids (AAs) requires
adjustments to total food intake (protein leverage [PL]) and food selection to balance deficits …

Trypsin is the major serine protease responsible for intestinal protein digestion. An inhibitor,
camostat (CS), reduced weight gain, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia in obese rats; …
