[HTML][HTML] Food intake, energy balance and serum leptin concentrations in rats fed low-protein diets
F Du, DA Higginbotham, BD White - The Journal of nutrition, 2000 - Elsevier
Studies examining the effects of low-protein diets on food intake and body weight have
shown varied results. Many researchers have found low dietary protein to increase food
intake, while others have found no effect or even a decrease. In 63 male Sprague-Dawley
rats, we examined several low levels of dietary protein (2%, 5%, 8%, 10%, 15% vs. 20%
casein) to determine the dose-response relationships between low dietary protein and food
intake, body composition, energy balance and serum leptin concentrations. Food intake …
