Article Synopsis
- The study explores how dietary protein affects energy expenditure (EE) based on menstrual cycle phases and the use of oral contraceptives in women.
- Researchers measured EE in healthy young women—both those taking and not taking the pill—and men after consuming high-protein (HP) versus normal-protein (NP) meals.
- Results showed that HP significantly increased EE in women not using the pill and men, but had no effect in women taking the pill, suggesting that oral contraceptive use may limit the thermogenic benefits of protein for weight control.
Background: Recently, insulin analogs have become widely used for the treatment of diabetes. The aim of this study was to determine differences in the antigenicity of insulin analogs and long-term changes in titers in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: Insulin antibodies were examined using polyethylene glycol and protein G methods in 381 patients with type 2 diabetes.
