AI Article Synopsis
- High-protein diets enhance body composition by increasing satiety and promoting muscle growth through hormonal changes and the mTOR pathway.
- Research indicates these diets activate processes like gluconeogenesis and urea synthesis, leading to a higher thermic effect of food.
- Both calorie-restricted and normal calorie scenarios have shown body composition improvements with high-protein diets, while excess calories from protein do not lead to increased fat mass.
Article Abstract
Background: High-protein diets have been shown to improve body composition through alterations in satiety, muscle protein synthesis, and the thermic effect of food.
Aim: Given these findings, the purpose of this review is to discuss the integration of the specific hormonal and metabolic effects of high-protein diets following both acute and long-term usage, especially with regard to body composition.
Methods: Full-text articles were obtained through PubMed by using the terms "high-protein diet and body composition," "high-protein diet and exercise," "high-protein diet risk," "high-protein diet side effects," "protein quality PDCAAS," "RDA for protein," and "daily protein recommendation." Articles were initially screened according to their title and abstract; careful evaluation of the full manuscripts was then used to identify relevant articles.
Results: The higher satiety exerted by high-protein diets is generated through increments in anorexigenic, as well as decrements in orexigenic hormones. Improvements in muscle mass are achieved by activation of muscle protein synthesis acting through the mTOR pathway. High thermic effect of food is caused due to necessary deamination, gluconeogenesis, and urea synthesis caused by high-protein diets. Interestingly, high-protein diets in both hypo- and normocaloric conditions have shown to improve body composition, whereas in combination with hypercaloric conditions does not seem to increase fat mass, when the excess energy comes from protein.
Conclusions: High protein diets effectively improve body composition by acting through different pathways.

Effects of multienzyme supplementation on energy and nutrient digestibility in various feed ingredients for pregnant gilts.

The utilization of exogenous fiber-degrading enzymes in commercial swine diets is a strategy to increase the nutrient and energy density of poorly digestible ingredients. In a prior set of studies, dietary multienzyme blend (MEblend) supplementation increased the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of nutrients, non-starch polysaccharides, and energy in complete high-fibrous gestation diets by 6% when fed to gestating sows. The current study aimed to determine the effects of MEblend (containing xylanase, β-glucanase, cellulase, amylase, protease, pectinase, and invertase activities) supplementation on ATTD of energy and nutrients of individual feedstuffs commonly used in gestating sow diets across major pork-producing regions worldwide, which differ in their fibrous components.

The hypothesis of this study was that grass silage digestibility would influence the response of dairy cows offered diets differing in CP content. Thirty-two mid-lactation Holstein dairy cows were used in a 2-period (21-d adaption phase, 7-d measurement phase), partially balanced change-over experiment. Four treatments were organized in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement, comprising 2 grass silages differing in digestible OM in the DM (D-value; 748 and 668 g/kg DM, high-D and low-D, respectively) and 2 total diet CP levels (target 145 and 175 g/kg DM, high CP and low CP, respectively).

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM, 2021) milk protein yield (MPY) prediction equation includes independent and additive effects of digestible energy intake and absorbed EAA. Our objective was to evaluate the NASEM MPY prediction and EAA use efficiency in Holstein cows in pens from commercial farms. Data collected from 12 Brazilian herds were used.

Unlabelled: Dietary acid load could be associated with bone mass, but there are limited and conflicting results. This secondary cross-sectional analysis evaluated these associations among 123 children/adolescents, mostly Hispanics. Dietary acid load seems to be associated with bone mass in boys, but these results should be confirmed through long-term studies.

Concerns over malnutrition, synthetic additives and post-harvest waste highlight the need for innovation in food technology, turning towards underutilized crops. Plant-based beverages offer sustainable dietary alternatives and the increasing demand for such products makes the exploration of native crops particularly relevant. This study focuses on the development of a beverage derived from the native South American fruit kurugua (Sicana odorifera), combined with chia oil (Salvia hispanica L.
