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

Written by | published on

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 (...

3.8 vs. 2.3 g/kg Protein + Exercise to Improve Body Comp. | Digestive Enzymes to Pimp Vegan Proteins | High Protein vs. MUFA Meals for GLP1 | ISSN Research Review '15 #3

"If some is good, more is better!" Unfortunately, this simple maxime does rarely apply when it comes to the physiological response to certain foods and/or supplements. For protein, however, it appears as if the relation holds - at least as long as protein does not become the only energy source in your diet. I guess by now I can simply skip the lengthy introduction telling you about how I didn't want to cherry pick only three out of more than twenty newsworthy studies that were presented at the  Twelfth International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) Conference and Expo in 2015, when I started writing this series right ( click here if you have missed the previous articles)? Well, that's good because it leaves more room for a brief preview of the studies I am about to discuss in today's third serving of the SuppVersity ISSN Research Review 2015  - studies that are all related (in one way or another) to increased protein intake. Either in overweight or obese...

Food Matrices: Protein & Fat Ameliorate Glucose Spikes After Standardized Glucose Load | Plus: Timing Matters if You Want to Turn Regular into Resistant Starch

Written by | published on

This is what it's all about. Real food does not come in form of "macros". It comes in form of complex food matrices that determine its effect on one's health - including one's glycemic health. You will probably remember that I have touched on a specific aspect of the effects of and interactions between different macronutrients in what scientists often refer to as "food matrices" on the glycemic response to standardized glucose loads in previous articles like the famous "True or False?" article that dealt with the question: "Will Adding Fat to A Carby Meal Lower the Insulin Response?" ( read it ). You don't remember this or any of the other articles? Well, in that case, I probably have to tell you again  that the mere fact that the postprandial glucose are lower does not mean that a certain food or combination of certain macronutrients would increase your insulin sensitivity (adding fat to a high carbohydrate meal certainly d...

Polydextrose and Resistant Maltodextrin as Dieting Aids W/ GLP-1 Boosting & Appetite Reducing Effects: 7% Reduced Energy Intake per 10g/day of Polydextrose in Clinical Trials

Written by | published on

Many of them look like powder sugar, but they are much more. Novel food ingredients like polydextrose or resistant maltodextrin may help us to slow the progression of obesity, but  they won't solve the global obesity problems. Whenever we are talking about resistant starches, we are not actually interested in the starches themselves, but rather in what happens after they are digested by the bacteria in our guts. The result of this process are short-chain fatty acids. These specific fatty acids interact with receptors in the digestive tract which in turn trigger the release of GLP-1, of which you as a SuppVersity  reader have long known that it is of paramount importance for glucose and weight control ( learn more ). Next to naturally occuring resistant starches in foods like cooled potatoes or green bananas and relative expensive high molecular weight designer starches, polydextrose and resistant maltodextrose constitute two promising food ingredients of which researcher...

If Insulin Sensitivity is Key, What's the Key to Insulin Sensi- tivity? Artemisia Dracunculus, Lixisenatide, Calcium & Bi- carbonated Water - True Promoters of Insulin Sensitivity?

Written by | published on

Insulin sensitivity is a necessary pre- requisite for much more than a profane set of sixpack abs. You will probably have realized that the number of short-news like articles on the SuppVersity has been increasing as of late. The reasons for that are twofold: For one, it's the fact that it pisses me off (sorry, but that's how it is) that all the interesting stuff I post on the SuppVersity Facebook Page disappears into an oblivion of which I can only hope that it is not Mark Zuckerberg's *** Secondly, I am currently working my regular job, doing some additional University stuff and working on another nutrition and exercise science related project and don't have the time to do the extensive research that's necessary to produce articles like part II of the "perfect frying oil" article , you may (rightly) already be waiting for. In other words: If you don't want me to switch to a twice or thrice (max) a week schedule, you will have to live with less...
