Effect of an energy-restricted, high-protein, low-fat diet relative to a conventional high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet on weight loss, body composition, nutritional status, and markers of cardiovascular health in obese women.

BACKGROUND: Limited evidence suggests that a higher ratio of protein to carbohydrate during weight loss has metabolic advantages. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to evaluate the effects of a diet with a high ratio of protein to carbohydrate during weight loss on body composition, cardiovascular disease risk, nutritional status, and markers of bone turnover and renal function in overweight women. DESIGN: The subjects were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 isocaloric 5600-kJ dietary interventions for 12 wk according to a parallel design: a high-protein (HP) or a high-carbohydrate (HC) diet. RESULTS: One hundred women with a mean (+/-SD) body mass index (in kg/m(2)) of 32 +/- 6 and age of 49 +/- 9 y completed the study. Weight loss was 7.3 +/- 0.3 kg with both diets. Subjects with high serum triacylglycerol (>1.5 mmol/L) lost more fat mass with the HP than with the HC diet (x +/- SEM: 6.4 +/- 0.7 and 3.4 +/- 0.7 kg, respectively; P = 0.035) and had a greater decrease in triacylglycerol concentrations with the HP (-0.59 +/- 0.19 mmol/L) than with the HC (-0.03 +/- 0.04 mmol/L) diet (P = 0.023 for diet x triacylglycerol interaction). Triacylglycerol concentrations decreased more with the HP (0.30 +/- 0.10 mmol/L) than with the HC (0.10 +/- 0.06 mmol/L) diet (P = 0.007). Fasting LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, glucose, insulin, free fatty acid, and C-reactive protein concentrations decreased with weight loss. Serum vitamin B-12 increased 9% with the HP diet and decreased 13% with the HC diet (P < 0.0001 between diets). Folate and vitamin B-6 increased with both diets; homocysteine did not change significantly. Bone turnover markers increased 8-12% and calcium excretion decreased by 0.8 mmol/d (P < 0.01). Creatinine clearance decreased from 82 +/- 3.3 to 75 +/- 3.0 mL/min (P = 0.002). CONCLUSION: An energy-restricted, high-protein, low-fat diet provides nutritional and metabolic benefits that are equal to and sometimes greater than those observed with a high-carbohydrate diet.

[Effects of different diet composition after weaning on the obesity in rats induced by high-energy diet].

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of different diet composition on the obesity in rats induced by high-fat diet after weaning. METHODS: Male Wistar rats weaned on 24 days were randomly divided into groups A, B and C and were assigned to high carbohydrate, i.e. basic diet, high protein, high non-saturated fat diets respectively for 3 weeks. Then all groups were fed with basic diet. After 2 weeks, rats from group A were randomly divided into groups A1 and A2, A1 was assigned to basic diet continuously and groups A2, B, C were fed with high-fat diet for 6 weeks. 8 rats from each group were sacrified at the end of different treatments to detect serum glucose, TG and hormones dynamicly. RESULTS: High nonsaturated fat diet after weaning significantly reduced the body weight, body fat content, increased the sensitiveness to insulin, the levels of glucagons, FT4, FT3, improved leptin resistance in rats fed with high-fat diet. High-protein diet also reduced body weight, body fat content and increase lipolysis in rats fed with high-fat diet, but blood glucose in which group was higher than in group A2. CONCLUSION: High non-saturated fat diet after weaning can significantly reduce the obesity of rats fed with high-fat diet.

Reproduction and organ weight responses in female rats fed a restricted balanced diet or a restricted nonprotein calorie diet with or without supplemental glutamine or cysteine.

Primiparous Sprague-Dawley rats were used in two experiments to test the hypothesis that restriction of carbohydrate and fat calories alone versus comparable restriction of a balanced diet through gestation produces differential effects on gastrointestinal tract, reproductive tract and conceptus development. Rats were assigned on d 1 of pregnancy (13 rats/diet) to the following diets in Expt. 1: (1) balanced control diet fed ad libitum, C; (2) control diet fed at 50% of ad libitum intake, R; (3) restricted nonprotein energy diet containing twice the concentrations of protein, vitamins and mineral elements as the balanced control diet but fed at 50% of ad libitum intake of control diet, RCal; (4) R diet modified plus 0.21% L-cysteine, R + Cys; (5) R diet modified plus 1.54% L-glutamine, R + Glu. In Expt. 2, the treatment groups were: (1) Control diet, C; (2) C diet fed at 50% of ad libitum, R; (3) RCal diet fed at 50% of ad libitum intake of C; (4) RCal diet plus 2% L-glutamine fed at 50% of ad libitum intake of C. All pregnant rats were euthanized on d 20 postcoitum. Body weight of control dams was greater (P less than .01) than that of other dams in both experiments. Uterus weight and litter weight were less in RCal than in other dams in both experiments.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Dietary regulation of voluntary alcohol consumption in rats. Influence of a high protein diet and a methylene blue diet.

The importance of glucose homeostasis for high voluntary alcohol consumption was studied in alcohol-preferring (AA) and alcohol-avoiding (ANA) rats fed either a control diet, a protein-rich diet or a control diet supplemented with methylene blue. AA rats on the control diet were found to receive 13.6% of their daily energy intake from alcohol. On the high-protein or methylene blue diet, the alcohol consumption of the AA rats was respectively 40% and 48% higher than on the control diet. The voluntary alcohol consumption of ANA rats corresponded to 0.8-2.3% of their daily energy intake irrespective of diet. The protein diet increased the blood glucose concentration of AA rats by 20% but no increase was observed after the methylene blue diet. The diets had no effect on the blood glucose levels of ANA rats. In AA rats, the protein diet reduced the hepatic concentration of the three major glucogenic amino acids (serine, glycine, alanine) on average by 24%, suggesting an increased utilization for gluconeogenesis. No such reduction was observed in AA rats on the methylene blue diet or in ANA rats on any diet. The utilization of amino acids for maintenance of glucose balance in AA rats is further supported by the observed negative correlation between plasma concentration of urea, the end product of amino acid catabolism, and the sum of the concentrations of the three glucogenic amino acids in the liver, and by the positive correlation between plasma urea and blood glucose concentration. Furthermore, in AA rats, but not in ANA rats, the concentration of alanine, the main amino acid used in gluconeogenesis, correlated negatively with the amount of alcohol consumed. These findings indicate that the maintenance of glucose homeostatis is important for high voluntary alcohol consumption.

Comparison of an oleic acid enriched-diet vs NCEP-I diet on LDL susceptibility to oxidative modifications.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this trial was to compare the effect on the susceptibility of plasma Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) to oxidative modifications of consumption of two oleic rich diets, prepared with two different plant oils, virgin olive oil (OL)1 and refined high monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA sunflower oil (SU)), with the susceptibility of plasma LDL to oxidation after an National Cholesterol Education Program step 1 (NCEP-I) phase diet. DESIGN: A randomized crossover design. SUBJECTS AND INTERVENTIONS: Twenty-two healthy normolipidemic young males consumed an NCEP-I diet for a 4-week period. Subjects were then assigned to two diets each of 4-weeks duration. Group one was placed on an olive oil enriched diet (40% fat, 22% MUFA) followed by a 4-week period of a MUFA diet enriched in sunflower oil (40% fat, 22% MUFA). In group two, the order of the diets was reversed. RESULTS: Both MUFA diets induced a decrease in saturated (14:0, 16:0, and 18:0) and an increase in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated n-6 (18:2, 20:3, and 20:5) plasma LDL-phospholipid fatty acids, compared to the NCEP-I diet (P<0.01). No significant differences in lag times were observed between the olive oil and the NCEP-I diet periods. However there was a greater inhibition time (P<0.001) when subjects consumed the MUFA rich sunflower oil diet compared to the NCEP-I diet. These differences were probably related to the relative enrichment of plasma LDL particles in alpha-tocopherol due to the high vitamin E content of the MUFA-rich sunflower oil. Indeed, the alpha-tocopherol content was positively correlated with lag time (r=0.338; P<0.008). CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that changes in plasma LDL alpha-tocopherol content with practical solid-food diets can decrease its susceptibility to oxidation.

Does a high-carbohydrate diet have different effects in NIDDM patients treated with diet alone or hypoglycemic drugs?

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of a nigh-carbohydrate diet on blood glucose and plasma lipids in NIDDM patients with either mild or severe glucose intolerance. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A crossover design with a 15-day intervention diet was used. Eighteen patients were separated into two groups on the basis of hypoglycemic treatment (diet, n = 9, or diet plus glibenclamide, n = 9) and were assigned to a 15-day treatment with a high-carbohydrate/low-fiber diet containing 60% energy from carbohydrate and 20% from fat or a low-carbohydrate/low-fiber diet with 40% energy from carbohydrate and 40% from fat and then crossed over to the other diet for 15 more days. RESULTS: The high-carbohydrate diet produced a significant increase in postprandial blood glucose in patients on glibenclamide (13.6 +/- 1.4 vs. 11.0 +/- 1.8 mmol/l, P < 0.002, while no difference was recorded in the group on diet alone (9.7 +/- vs. 8.9 +/- 0.6 mmol/l). Postprandial insulin levels were significantly higher after the high-carbohydrate diet in the group on diet along (248 +/- 32 vs. 192 +/- 28 pmol/l, P < 0.01), while no significant differences were observed in the other group (226 +/- 19 vs. 202 +/- 24 pmol/l) The high-carbohydrate diet also induced a significant increase in fasting plasma triglyceride concentrations in both groups (1.36 +/- 0.2 vs. 1.12 +/- 0.2 mmol/l, P < 0.05 and 1.4 +/- 0.3 vs. 1.1 +/- 0.1 mmol/l, P < 0.05). No differences were observed in fasting plasma cholesterol and HDL. CONCLUSIONS: The effects of the high-carbohydrate diet on blood glucose control in NIDDM patients differ according to severity of glucose intolerance.

Nitrogen metabolism and growth performance of gilts fed standard corn-soybean meal diets or low-crude protein, amino acid-supplemented diets.

Two experiments were conducted to determine the CP concentration below which N retention and growth performance are reduced when low-protein, amino acid-supplemented, corn-soybean meal diets are fed. In a N balance trial (Exp. 1), 12 gilts (initial weight 41 kg) were fitted with urinary catheters and fed six different diets during three 7-d periods in an incomplete block design. The diets were: 1) 18% CP; 2) 14% CP + AA, 3) 16% CP; 4) 12% CP + AA; 5) 14% CP; and 6) 10% CP + AA. Amino acids (lysine, threonine, tryptophan, and methionine) were supplemented such that the concentrations in the low-protein diets were equal to those in their standard (4% CP higher) counterparts. Nitrogen retention (g/d) decreased (P < 0.01) as CP decreased, in both standard (27.10, 24.53, and 20.99) and low-protein (21.51, 19.18, and 15.83) diets, but was lower (P < 0.01) in low-protein diets. There were no differences among treatments (P > 0.05) in biological value (68.2% standard vs 71.0% low-protein). In a growth performance trial (Exp. 2), 36 gilts (initial weight 19.5 kg) were penned individually and fed one of six diets for 35 d in a randomized complete block design. Dietary treatments were a 16% CP standard diet and low-protein diets formulated to contain 15, 14, 13, 12, and 11% CP supplemented with crystalline lysine, tryptophan, threonine, and methionine to equal the total concentrations in the standard diet. Protein concentration affected (P < or = 0.05) ADG, ADFI, feed efficiency, fat-free lean gain, longissimus muscle area, plasma urea, and plasma concentrations of most essential AA. For most of these traits, the major difference was poor performance of pigs fed the 11% CP diet. Thus, in Exp. 1, at AA concentrations from deficient to excess, low-protein, amino acid-supplemented diets failed to produce the same N retention as the equivalent corn-soybean meal diets. However in Exp. 2, the same performance was obtained with 16, 15, 14, 13, and 12% CP. Based on these data, we suggest that N balance is more sensitive than growth to amino acid adequacy andthat other AA (e.g., isoleucine and valine) may limit growth performance when the protein concentration is reduced by more than four percentage units.

The mouse bioassay for the detection of estrogenic activity in rodent diets: II. Comparative estrogenic activity of purified, certified and standard open and closed formula rodent diets.

A major source of exogenous estrogenic substances, which may affect laboratory animals, comes from the diet. To test the possibility that commercially available rodent diets may significantly influence uterine weights and uterine:body weight (U:BW) ratios, estrogen bioassays were performed using female CD-1 mice weaned at 15 days of age and assigned randomly to a variety of commercial test diets or to a control diet (Purina #5002) containing 0 or 6 ppb added diethylstilbestrol (DES) for comparison. Mice were housed five per cage and given deionized water and feed ad libitum. Uterine:BW ratios from 15 mice per diet were determined after 3, 5 and 7 days of feeding. Mice fed The American Institute of Nutrition purified diet (AIN-76A) or the Purina #5015 natural ingredient breeder diet had significantly (P less than 0.05) increased U:BW ratios at 3, 5 and 7 days post weaning when compared to the control diet without added DES. This increase in U:BW ratios was similar to the U:BW ratios observed in a natural ingredient maintenance diet (Purina #5002), containing 6 ppb of DES. These results show that significant differences exist in the level of substances which can cause increase in uterine weight in some commercial diets. The diet may be important when performing or comparing certain types of studies, especially those relating to estrogenic substances. A standardized diet with minimal estrogenic activity may be desirable for such studies. It is unclear from the present studies what substances might be responsible for the uterine growth promoting activity in the diets examined.

Low protein diets delay end-stage renal disease in non diabetic adults with chronic renal failure.

BACKGROUND: Since more than fifty years, low protein diets are proposed to patients with kidney failure. However, the effects of these diets in preventing severe renal failure and the need for maintenance dialysis is still controversial. OBJECTIVES: To determine the efficacy of low protein diets in delaying the need to start maintenance dialysis. SEARCH STRATEGY: Medline and Embase search from January 1966 through June 1999. Congress abstracts (American Society of Nephrology since 1990, European Dialysis Transplant Association since1985, International Society of Nephrology since 1987). Direct contacts with investigators. SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomised trials comparing two different levels of protein intake in adult patients suffering from moderate to severe renal failure, followed for at least one year. Exclusion of patients with diabetic nephropathy. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Seven trials selected over 40 studies since 1975. A total of 1494 patients analysed, 753 receiving a reduced protein intake and 741 a larger protein intake. Collection of the number of "renal death" being the need for starting dialysis, the death of a patient or the transplantation of a kidney during the trials. MAIN RESULTS: 242 renal deaths were recorded, 101 in the low protein diet and 141 in the larger protein diet group, giving an odds ratio of low protein to control of 0.62 with a 95% confidence interval of 0.46 to 0.83 (p<0.001, Peto odds ratio). To spare one extra renal death, 17 patients need to be treated (NNT) with a low protein diet for approximately two years. REVIEWER'S CONCLUSIONS: Reducing protein intake in patients with chronic renal failure do reduce the occurence of renal death by about 40% as compared with larger or unrestricted protein intake and therefore should be warmly recommended to patients. The optimal level of protein intake cannot be deduced from the present work. However, based on other nutritional studies perfomed in patients having chronic renal failure, we recommend a protein intake of 0.6 g/kg/day and an energy intake no less than 35 kcal/kg/day. Skilled dietitian survey should be offered to closely monitor these values and the patient's nutritional status.

Antecedent intake of traditional Asian-style diets exacerbates pancreatic beta-cell function, growth and survival after Western-style diet feeding in weaning male rats.

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes has been rapidly increasing in conjunction with the westernization of diet patterns in Asia. We determined whether the antecedent consumption of traditional Asian-style diets (ADs) deteriorates insulin action, insulin secretion and pancreatic beta-cell mass after subsequent imposition of the diabetogenic challenge of Western-style diets (WDs) in weaning male Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats were provided AD (a low-fat and plant protein diet), WD (a high-fat and animal protein diet) or a control diet (CD) (a low-fat and animal protein diet) for 12 weeks. After 12 weeks, the groups were divided into two subsets; one set of the groups continued to consume their previous diets of WD, AD and CD for another 12 weeks, and the second set was divided into three groups represented by a switch in their designated diets from WD to AD, AD to WD and CD to WD. Whole-body glucose disposal rates and GLUT4 contents in soleus muscles were lower in WD regardless of the antecedent protein sources. The first-phase insulin secretion was higher in the CD group than in the other groups, whereas the second phase was lowered with AD consumption as antecedent and/or present diets. Asian-style diet and AD-WD intake did not compensate for insulin resistance due to the failure of beta-cell expansion via decreased proliferation. These findings suggest that the antecedent consumption of AD possibly accelerates and augments the development of glucose dysregulation via decreased insulin secretion capacity and pancreatic beta-cell mass when the diets switch to WD.

Transient hypophagia in rats switched from high-fat diets with different fatty-acid pattern to a high-carbohydrate diet.

The present study investigates the mechanisms underlying the transient hypophagia occurring when rats adapted to high-fat, carbohydrate-free diets are switched to high-carbohydrate, low-fat diets. The hypophagia after the high-fat, carbohydrate-free to high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet shift seems to depend on the amount of carbohydrate in the diet, since an attenuation of hypophagia was observed when high-fat, carbohydrate-free-adapted rats were switched to a medium-carbohydrate, medium-fat diet. A role of glucose intolerance in the hypophagia is supported by the attenuation of carbohydrate anorexia in rats adapted to a high-fat diet containing n -3 polyunsaturated fatty acids from fish oil (60% of fat as fish oil), which has been shown to improve glucose tolerance in rats. Furthermore, the increased plasma glucose concentration in the high-fat, carbohydrate-free diet to high-carbohydrate, low-fat shifted rats despite the suppression in food intake also suggests an involvement of glucose intolerance in the hypophagia. The failure of the inhibitor of hepatic-fatty-acid oxidation mercaptoacetate (400 micromol/kg, i.p.) to counteract carbohydrate anorexia in the HF-adapted rats argues against an involvement of fatty-acids oxidation in the inhibition of eating after high-fat, carbohydrate-free to high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet shift. This is also supported by the failure to demonstrate a relationship between plasma beta-hydroxybutyrate and the severity of the hypophagia. A role of leptin in the hypophagia seems unlikely, since plasma leptin after diet shift was unchanged. Ingestion of the high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet also produced an aversion towards this diet in high-fat, carbohydrate-free-adapted rats. It is concluded that the transient hypophagia induced by switching rats from a high-fat to a high-carbohydrate diet is not related to fatty acid oxidation but to transiently impaired carbohydrate utilization.

Vegetarian diet for patients with rheumatoid arthritis--status: two years after introduction of the diet.

We have previously reported that a significant improvement can be obtained in rheumatoid arthritis patients by fasting followed by an individually adjusted vegetarian diet for one year. The patients who changed their diet could be divided into diet responders and diet nonresponders. After the clinical trial the patients were free to change diet or medication and after approximately one year they were asked to attend a new clinical examination. We compared the change from baseline (i.e. at the time of study entry) to the time of the follow-up examination for diet responders, diet nonresponders and controls who ate an omnivorous diet. The following variables favoured diet responders: pain score, duration of morning stiffness, Stanford Health Assessment Questionnaire index, number of tender joints, Ritchie's articular index, number of swollen joints, ESR and platelet count [corrected]. The difference between the three groups were significant for all the clinical variables, except for grip strength. There was no significant difference between the groups with regard to laboratory or anthropometric variables. At the time of the follow-up examination all diet responders but only half of the diet nonresponders still followed a diet. Our findings indicate that a group of patients with rheumatoid arthritis benefit from dietary manipulations and that the improvement can be sustained through a two-year period.

Energy balance and brown fat activity in rats fed cafeteria diets or high-fat, semisynthetic diets at several levels of intake.

The object of the study was to determine the relative effects of hyperphagia and diet composition on energy balance and thermogenic activity in rats fed highly palatable cafeteria diets. Three types of diet were used: a pelleted stock diet, a cafeteria diet composed of a variety of human food items, and semisynthetic diets with nutrient compositions similar to the stock and cafeteria diets. Feeding rats a high-fat semisynthetic diet (similar to the cafeteria diet) at a energy intake equivalent to that of stock-fed controls (approximately 2.5 times maintenance) resulted in greater body energy gains and energetic efficiencies. These effects were probably due to the reduced energy costs of fat synthesis associated with high-fat diets. No effect of dietary composition on body energy gain was seen in animals fed below 2.5 times maintenance. Animals fed four cafeteria food items each day, or the high-fat semisynthetic diet, at 2.5 times maintenance showed significantly greater thermogenic responses to norepinephrine, increased brown adipose tissue (BAT) mass, and greater BAT mitochondrial GDP binding than controls on the same intake. Injection of propranolol reduced oxygen consumption in all groups, but the effect was greater in animals on higher intakes and was highest in the cafeteria groups. Thus, increasing fat intake, either by presenting cafeteria food items or by feeding a high-fat semisynthetic diet at the same level of intake as controls, stimulates the sympathetic nervous system and BAT activity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Soy based diet attenuates the development of hypertension when compared to casein based diet in spontaneously hypertensive rat.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of soy and casein based diets on blood pressure and cardiovascular functions in male and female spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). The systolic blood pressure was measured at the beginning and at the end of study. After a five week supplementation period with three different diets, the rats were decapitated and arterial responses and the weight-to-body weight-ratios of the organs were studied. The development of hypertension was attenuated in both female and male rats on soy protein diet when compared to the casein diet. Soy based diet lowered serum total cholesterol level when compared to the control diet. Both casein and soy protein supplementation in diet induced a significant renal hypertrophy in both female and male SHR rats when compared to SHR rats on the control diet. Soy protein supplementation reduced significantly serum estradiol-17beta concentration when compared to the control diet. There were no differences in the serum testosterone concentrations between the diet groups. When compared to the casein based diet the soy based diet attenuated the development of hypertension and decreased serum total cholesterol level in SHRs. These effects were independent of gender. The mechanisms and clinical importance of these findings remain to be clarified.

Diet diversity, diet composition, and risk of colon cancer (United States).

In this study, we evaluate diet diversity, diet composition, and risk of colon cancer in an incident population-based study of 1,993 cases and 2,410 controls in the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program of Northern California, eight counties in Utah, and the Twin Cities area of Minnesota (United States). Ninety-one and one-half percent of the population were non-Hispanic White. Dietary intake was obtained using an adaptation of the CARDIA diet-history questionnaire. Diet diversity was defined as the number of unique food items reported; diversity also was explored within six major food groups. Composition of the diet was described by estimating the proportion of total number of food items contributed by major food groups. Younger individuals, higher educated individuals, and those who lived in larger households reported eating the most diverse diet. Total diet diversity was not associated with colon cancer. However, eating a diet with greater diversity of meats, poultry, fish, and eggs, was associated with a 50 percent increase in risk among all men (95 percent confidence interval [CI] = 1.1-2.0; P trend = 0.01), with slightly stronger associations for younger men and men with distal tumors. A diet with a greater number of refined grain products also was associated with increased risk among men (odds ratio [OR] = 1.7, CI = 1.3-2.3). Women who ate a diet with a more diverse pattern of vegetables were at approximately a 20 percent lower risk than women who had the least diverse diet in vegetables. Assessment of diet composition showed that men who consumed a large proportion of their food items from meat, fish, poultry, and eggs were at an increased risk, with the most marked association being for distal tumors (OR = 1.7, CI = 1.2-2.5). Women who consumed the largest percentage of their food items in the form of plant foods (fruits, vegetables, or whole grains) were at a reduced risk of developing colon cancer (OR = 0.7, CI = 0.5-1.0).

Satiety related to 24 h diet-induced thermogenesis during high protein/carbohydrate vs high fat diets measured in a respiration chamber.

OBJECTIVE: Assessment of a possible relationship between perception of satiety and diet-induced thermogenesis, with different macronutrient compositions, in a controlled situation over 24 h. DESIGN: Two diets with different macronutrient compositions were offered to all subjects in randomized order. SETTING: The study was executed in the respiration chambers at the department of Human Biology, Maastricht University. SUBJECTS: Subjects were eight females, ages 23-33 y, BMI 23+/-3 kg/m2, recruited from University staff and students. INTERVENTIONS: Subjects were fed in energy balance, with protein/carbohydrate/fat: 29/61/10 and 9/30/61 percentage of energy, with fixed meal sizes and meal intervals, and a fixed activity protocol, during 36 h experiments in a respiration chamber. The appetite profile was assessed by questionnaires during the day and during meals. Diet induced thermogenesis was determined as part of the energy expenditure. RESULTS: Energy balance was almost complete, with non-significant deviations. Diet-Induced-Thermogenesis (DIT) was 14.6+/-2.9%, on the high protein/carbohydrate diet, and 10.5+/-3.8% on the high fat diet (P < 0.01). With the high protein/high carbohydrate diet, satiety was higher during meals (P < 0.001; P < 0.05), as well as over 24 h (P < 0.001), than with the high fat diet. Within one diet, 24 h DIT and satiety were correlated (r = 0.6; P < 0.05). The difference in DIT between the diets correlated with the differences in satiety (r = 0.8; P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: In lean women, satiety and DIT were synchronously higher with a high protein/high carbohydrate diet than with a high fat diet. Differences (due to the different macronutrient compositions) in DIT correlated with differences in satiety over 24 h.
