Effects of dietary protein on gastrointestinal function: Implications for the regulation of energy intake in obesity

肥胖在很大程度上是因为能量摄入超过了能量消耗。CI报告称，饮食蛋白质显著减少能量摄入量，但这种效果背后的机制尚不清楚。拟议中的研究将确定胃肠道机制是否涉及食欲和能量摄入的调节，以及它们与肥胖受试者体重减轻的关系。这项研究代表了一种管理肥胖和健康的独特方法。

Obesity is largely due to energy intake exceeding energy expenditure. The CI has reported that dietary protein markedly reduces energy intake but the mechanisms underlying this effect remain unknown. The proposed studies will determine whether gastrointestinal mechanisms are involved in the regulation of appetite and energy intake and how they relate to body weight reduction in obese subjects. The research represents a unique approach to the management of obesity and health.
