Of mice and men: Assessing dietary proteins role on appetite regulation, obesity and cardiovascular risk

虽然理解和管理全球肥胖症流行的挑战已经得到很好的认识，但营养所起的作用比乍一看要复杂得多。饮食蛋白质在控制体重方面可能至关重要，蛋白质摄入量的微小变化可能会导致能量摄入量和体重的巨大变化。我们建议观察饮食蛋白质对食欲的影响，它的激素调节，以及发生代谢性疾病(如糖尿病)的风险。

While the challenge of understanding and managing the global obesity epidemic is well recognised, the role that nutrition plays is more complex than at first glance. Dietary protein may be of central importance in managing weight and small changes in protein consumption may lead to large changes in energy intake and weight. We propose to look at the effects of dietary protein on appetite, its hormonal regulation, and on the risk of developing metabolic diseases such as diabetes.
