High protein meals may benefit fat oxidation and energy expenditure in individuals with higher body fat

چکیده
Aim: Fat oxidation is impaired in obesity. The aim of this study was to determine if fat oxidation, seen in a high protein meal response, was influenced by body composition. Methods: Subjects were provided with control (14% protein, glycemic index, GI 65), high protein high GI (33% protein, GI 74), and high protein low GI (35% protein, GI 45) meals. Substrate oxidation and energy expenditure were measured in room calorimeters over 8 hours in 18 subjects. Results were compared using a repeated measures ANOVA with a customised post-hoc analysis (to compare the protein diets averaged versus control and to compare the low and high GI diets) and covariates in a linear model of the form; y=α + β1*fat free mass (kg)+β2*loge fat mass (kg). Results:The full model found significant meal effects on fat oxidation (0.21±0.21kcal.min1 high protein high GI, 0.34±0.11kcal.min1 high protein low GI, 0.55±0.2kcal.min1 control, F=3.50, P=0.007). The effect on energy expenditure (1.67±0.07kcal.min1 high protein high GI, 1.61±0.08kcal.min1 high protein low GI, 1.67±0.08kcal.min1 control) approached significance (F=2.45, P=0.070). Post-hoc analysis revealed a protein effect (P=0.004 for fat oxidation and P=0.030 for energy expenditure). Significant interactions indicated meal response was influenced by body composition. The high protein meals eliminated the negative relationship between body fat and fat oxidation (α= -4.7, β2=2.23, P Conclusion: High protein intakes may ameliorate an obesity induced decline in fat oxidation.

Energy expenditure does not differ, but protein oxidation rates appear lower in meals containing predominantly meat versus soy sources of protein.
BACKGROUND High protein meals produce 3 relevant effects in weight management: i) higher thermogenic cost, ii) enhanced fat oxidation, and iii) greater satiation. Pork has been reported to be more thermogenic than soy, suggesting meat protein may be superior to plant protein in a high-protein weight loss diet context. In this study, we aimed to compare the effects of high-protein meals using me...
متن کاملReduced postprandial energy expenditure and increased exogenous fat oxidation in young woman after ingestion of test meals with a low protein content
BACKGROUND Macronutrient composition of diets can influence energy balance in humans. We tested the hypothesis whether low protein content in single meals may induce lower values of energy expenditure (EE) and fat oxidation (FO) as compared to adequate protein content. METHODS Indirect calorimetry was combined with a breath test using naturally 13C-enriched corn oil to differentiate between p...
متن کاملMeals with similar energy densities but rich in protein, fat, carbohydrate, or alcohol have different effects on energy expenditure and substrate metabolism but not on appetite and energy intake.
BACKGROUND It has been suggested that the satiating power of the 4 macronutrients follows the oxidation hierarchy: alcohol > protein > carbohydrate > fat. However, the experimental evidence for this is still scarce. OBJECTIVE The goal was to investigate the effects on appetite, energy intake and expenditure, and substrate metabolism of meals rich in 1 of the 4 macronutrients. DESIGN Subject...
متن کاملChanges in energy expenditure associated with ingestion of high protein, high fat versus high protein, low fat meals among underweight, normal weight, and overweight females
BACKGROUND Metabolic rate is known to rise above basal levels after eating, especially following protein consumption. Yet, this postprandial rise in metabolism appears to vary among individuals. This study examined changes in energy expenditure in response to ingestion of a high protein, high fat (HPHF) meal versus an isocaloric high protein, low fat (HPLF) meal in underweight, normal weight, o...
