Minimal Amounts of Fish Peptide Hydrolysate Double Fat Loss Compared to Whey Isolate on Energy Restricted Diet

Written by | published on
Image
I certainly recommend eating fish. Whether I will be recommending fish hydrolysate supplements in the future, however, will have to be determined when additional studies with different baseline diets will have been published. You may remember that I've written about fish protein hydrolysates / peptides before. Unlike today's article, however, previous articles dealt with the effects of fish protein in rodents. Intrigued by in vitro and animal studies showing that fish-derived peptides demonstrated antihypertensive (Hatanaka. 2009; Kim. 2012; Li. 2012; Ngo. 2011), antioxidant (Nazeer. 2012; Najafian. 2012), immunomodulating effects (Duarte. 2006), reparative properties in the intestine (Fitzgerald. 2005; Marchbank. 2008), and effects in reducing plasma cholesterol and triglycerides levels (Möller. 2008), a group of Italian researchers decided to investigated the effect of Slimpro(R), a supplement containing commercially available fish protein hydrolysate from blue whiting (...

Taste Matters - Bypassing Taste Receptors Boosts Insulin & CCK Satiety Hormone Response to Food - Why Does That Happen & What Are the Implications, If There Are Any?

Written by | published on

Infusions of nutrient solutions via a tube is often the last resort for doctors to save anorexic patients' lives - it's yet nothing anyone should do voluntarily for the satiety plus Spetter et al. observed. As a SuppVersity Reader you are no stranger to "incretin hormones" and their release in response to the interaction of food with the taste receptors that are distributed all over your body. Against that background you will probably not be surprised to hear that Martjee S. Spetter and her colleagues from the University Medical Center Utrecht and the Wageningen University found that bypassing oral the stimulation of oral taste receptors decreases the satiety and alters the appetite hormone response to a given meal. As the Dutch researchers point out, the interaction between oral and gastric signals is an important part of food intake regulation. Artificial sweeteners have a reputation of making you hungry - find out if they do Unsatiating Truth About...

True or False: High Volume + Nutrient + Low Energy Foods Keep You Lean. Bonus-Q: Will a High Volume Make Your Stomach Go Baggy & Mess Up Your Satiety Response?

Written by | published on
Image
There are millions of ways to con- sume 100kcal and volume isn't the only difference (img greatist.com ) I have repeatedly pointed out that filling yourself up on vegetables and other high volume, high nutrient (vitamins, minerals, polyphenols, etc.), low energy foods is one of the fundamental principles of weight management. The question that remains, though, is whether this principle is so effective because of the food we eat (tons of veggies), or rather due to the fact that there is no room for the foods we thusly don't eat (the typical processed junk)? I guess, it's not debatable that replacing trashy foods with healthy ones is the most important factor. We have all heard about the beneficial effects "high volume foods" and the downsides of the average high energy + low nutrient 100kcal junk-food snack. But how important is the volume, actually? Isn't food "quality" (whatever that may be) all that counts? You can find more True or False...

Pre-Meal Protein Ingestion to Improve Glucose Tolerance: Insulin, GIP, GLP-1 - That's the Whey(!) it Works! Plus: Even Pure Glucose Can "Improve Your Insulin Tolerance"

Written by | published on

Can a whey protein appetizer really undo the damage of greasy fast food? Probably not, but it's still interesting to see how it affects the postprandial glycemia. Insulin resistance is the #1 contributing factor to the obesity epidemic and despite the fact the solution is already out there ( read more about the necessary lifestyle modifications), it probably won't hurt to know if something as simple as having a high protein "appetizer" before a junky meal could improve blood glucose management even further, right? "Right, 'cause protein is always, good!" Ah, no... I guess the answer is a little more complex than that... Nevertheless, I still suspect that the results, Tina Akhavan and her colleagues from the University of Toronto present in their soon-to-be-published paper in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry will be of interest to you. The study results are interesting, to say the least... ... and that's not despite but rather becau...

The Satiating Secret of Arginine, Lysine and Glutamic Acid. Plus: Things You May Not Know About These Aminos

Written by | published on

No, no and no. No amino acids = no satiety = no weight loss. Personally, I have never been interested in products that would increase satiety. Being a born masochist, at least, when it comes to cutting body fat, I always liked being hungry... well, at least until I had to learn that there is an intricate hormonal connection between "being hungry" and the diet-induced reduction in metabolic rate, hormonal production etc. That changed my whole perspective on agents that increase satiety completely, and I started to read read papers like the one Jordi et al. are about to publish in one of the upcoming issues of the Journal of Physiology (Jordi. 2013). The satiety shoot-out According to the researchers from the University of Zurich , the top-dogs, or rather the most satiating among the so-called proteogenic amino acids, which are ... L-Leucine (Leu / L) L-Lysine (Lys / K) L-Methionine (Met / M) L-Phenylalanine (Phe / F) L-Proline (Pro / P) L...

On Short Notice: Oxytocin to Boost Testosterone & Block Cortisol? Exercise for Life-Extension? Which Tea for Metal-Chelation? Which Fat to Reduce Calorie Intake by ~30%?

Written by | published on

Image 1: This is still my preferred way to boost oxytocin - regardless of possible ergolytic effects ;-) Due to the sudden heat-wave over here in good old Germany I thought, I'd use these early morning hours to get another installment of " On Short Notice " on it's way before my brain dries out (or I drown in the public swimming pool ;-). I hope you enjoy the four items on the recent interest in intranasal the hormone modulating effects of oxytocin , it's effect on cortisol and progesterone, estradiol and (I know you were waiting for that ;-) testosterone, my early morning / late evening (depending on whether you see this from my or Wyatt's perspective) 'intellectual' exchange on the potential longevity effects of exercise and why it probably is not life-extending in the literal sense, the different antioxidant potency of green, black and white tea and their ability to chelate metals (=help to remove all not just "bad" metals from the ...

Eat More, Burn More and Lose Fat Like on Crack with GLP-1!? Roux-en-y Bypass Study Sheds a Whole New Light on Satiety(Hormone)-Induced Weight Loss

Written by | published on

Image 1: A gastric bypass should always be the last option; with all the possible complications it is nothing to treat lightly (img medcenterone.com) Everyone who has read the Intermittent Thoughts on " Goal Setting and Programming Success " with the three somatypes, SuperSize Homer, Peter Griffin and Anorexic Stan, will be aware that I do acknowledge the oftentimes life-saving benefits of surgical anti-obesity interventions, when everything else fails. Until recently, I did however assume that"cutting off" a part of your stomach or using a sling or other devices to reduce its size would simply reduce a patients ability to overeat, thusly reduce hi caloric intake and help him to cut his weight back into a region that is no longer life-threatening. The recent publication of a study by scientists from the Harvard Medical School ( Nestoridi. 2012 ) does yet suggest that the effects of roux-en-y gastric bypasses are in fact way more far reaching than, at least I...
