RESUMO

Plant-based protein supplements are increasingly popular, yet their efficacy in enhancing athletic performance compared to animal protein, insect protein, or other protein types remains under investigation. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of plant-based protein on athletic abilities such as muscle strength, endurance performance, and muscle protein synthesis (MPS) rate and compare it to no- or low-protein ingestion and non-plant protein sources. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the beneficial and harmful effects of plant-based protein ingestion on athletic ability in healthy individuals were considered. A systematic search of six databases yielded 2152 studies, which were screened using the Covidence systematic review tool. Thirty-one studies were included for meta-analysis after independent selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment by two reviewers. The meta-analysis employed a Bayesian approach using the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method through a random-effects model. The results demonstrated that plant-based protein supplements provided greater benefits for athletic performance in healthy individuals compared to the no- or low-protein ingestion group [µ(SMD): 0.281, 95% CI: 0.159 to 0.412; heterogeneity τ: 0.18, 95% CI: 0.017 to 0.362]. However, when compared to other types of protein, plant-based protein ingestion was less effective in enhancing athletic ability [µ(SMD): -0.119, 95% CI: -0.209 to -0.028; heterogeneity τ: 0.076, 95% CI: 0.003 to 0.192]. A subgroup analysis indicated significant improvements in muscle strength and endurance performance in both young and older individuals consuming plant-based protein compared to those with no- or low-protein ingestion. Nonetheless, other protein types showed greater benefits in muscle strength compared to plant-based protein [µ(SMD): -0.133, 95% CI: -0.235 to -0.034; heterogeneity τ: 0.086, 95% CI: 0.004 to 0.214]. In conclusion, while plant-based protein ingestion demonstrates superior efficacy compared to low- or no-protein ingestion, it is not as effective as other protein types such as whey, beef, or milk protein in enhancing athletic performance in healthy individuals.

RESUMO

It is well established that high-protein diets (i.e. ~25-30% of energy intake from protein) provide benefits for achieving weight loss, and subsequent weight maintenance, in individuals with obesity, and improve glycemic control in type 2 diabetes (T2D). These effects may be attributable to the superior satiating property of protein, at least in part, through stimulation of both gastrointestinal (GI) mechanisms by protein, involving GI hormone release and slowing of gastric emptying, as well as post-absorptive mechanisms facilitated by circulating amino acids. In contrast, there is evidence that the beneficial effects of greater protein intake on body weight and glycemia may only be sustained for 6-12 months. While both suboptimal dietary compliance and metabolic adaptation, as well as substantial limitations in the design of longer-term studies are all likely to contribute to this contradiction, the source of dietary protein (i.e. animal vs. plant) has received inappropriately little attention. This issue has been highlighted by outcomes of recent epidemiological studies indicating that long-term consumption of animal-based protein may have adverse effects in relation to the development of obesity and T2D, while plant-based protein showed either protective or neutral effects. This review examines information relating to the effects of dietary protein on appetite, energy intake and postprandial glycemia, and the relevant GI functions, as reported in acute, intermediate- and long-term studies in humans. We also evaluate knowledge relating to the relevance of the dietary protein source, specifically animal or plant, to the prevention, and management, of obesity and T2D.

RESUMO

The contrasting relationships of plant and animal protein intake with blood pressure (BP) may be partially attributed to the differential non-protein (e.g., saturated fat and fibre) and amino acid (AA) compositions. This study determined whether animal and plant protein intake were related to differential metabolomic profiles associated with BP. This study included 1008 adults from the African-PREDICT study (aged 20-30 years). Protein intake was determined using 24-h dietary recalls. Twenty-four-hour ambulatory BP was measured. Amino acids and acylcarnitines were analysed in spot urine samples using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry-based metabolomics. Participants with a low plant, high animal protein intake had higher SBP (by 3 mmHg, p = 0.011) than those with high plant, low animal protein intake (low-risk group). We found that the relationships of plant and animal protein intake with 24-h SBP were partially mediated by BMI and saturated fat intake, which were independently associated with SBP. Protein intake was therefore not related to SBP in multiple regression analysis after adjusting for confounders. In the low-risk group, methionine (Std. ß = -0.217; p = 0.034), glutamic acid (Std. ß = -0.220; p = 0.031), glycine (Std. ß = -0.234; p = 0.025), and proline (Std. ß = -0.266; p = 0.010) were inversely related to SBP, and beta-alanine (Std. ß = -0.277; p = 0.020) to DBP. Ultimately a diet high in animal and low in plant protein intake may contribute to higher BP by means of increased BMI and saturated fat intake. Conversely, higher levels of urinary AAs observed in adults consuming a plant rich diet may contribute to lower BP.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: While clinical studies indicate that dietary protein may benefit glucose homeostasis in type 2 diabetes (T2D), the impact of dietary protein, including whether the protein is of animal or plant origin, on the risk of T2D is uncertain. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the associations of total, animal, and plant protein intakes with the risk of T2D. METHODS: A systematic search was performed using multiple data sources, including PubMed/Medline, ISI Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar, with the data cut-off in May 2023. Our selection criteria focused on prospective cohort studies that reported risk estimates for the association between protein intake and T2D risk. For data synthesis, we calculated summary relative risks and 95% confidence intervals for the highest versus lowest categories of protein intake using random-effects models. Furthermore, we conducted both linear and non-linear dose-response analyses to assess the dose-response associations between protein intake and T2D risk. RESULTS: Sixteen prospective cohort studies, involving 615,125 participants and 52,342 T2D cases, were identified, of which eleven studies reported data on intake of both animal and plant protein. Intakes of total (pooled effect size: 1.14, 95% CI: 1.04-1.24) and animal (pooled effect size: 1.18, 95% CI: 1.09-1.27) protein were associated with an increased risk of T2D. These effects were dose-related - each 20-g increase in total or animal protein intake increased the risk of T2D by ∼3% and ∼7%, respectively. In contrast, there was no association between intake of plant protein and T2D risk (pooled effect size: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.89-1.08), while replacing animal with plant protein intake (per each 20 g) was associated with a reduced risk of T2D (pooled effect size: 0.80, 95% CI: 0.76-0.84). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that long-term consumption of animal, but not plant, protein is associated with a significant and dose-dependent increase in the risk of T2D, with the implication that replacement of animal with plant protein intake may lower the risk of T2D.

RESUMO

The market for new plant protein-based meat substitutes is expanding, although their consumption remains limited compared to animal-based protein sources. Further research is necessary to comprehend the perceptions of diets in which animal-based protein sources are partially replaced with plant proteins. This qualitative study is part of an intervention trial, during which participants adhered to one of the three intervention diets for 12 weeks: the ANIMAL diet (70% animal-based protein/30% plant-based protein), the 50/50 diet (50% animal/50% plant) or the PLANT diet (30% animal/70% plant). The dataset comprises 79 experience diaries from healthy participants aged 23 to 69. The study investigated perceptions of intervention diets, the meat protein (MPPs) and the plant protein products (PPPs) included in the intervention and self-reported changes in perceptions during the intervention period. These perceptions were categorized into eight themes: body-related experiences, practicalities and everyday life, sensory properties, social situations and special occasions, familiarity and novelty, health, ethical aspects, and non-specific liking. Across the diets, body-related experiences were the most frequently mentioned theme. The ANIMAL diet received more negative than positive comments. In contrast, comments on the 50/50 diet were relatively balanced between positive and negative, and the PLANT diet received more positive comments than negative ones. The PPPs were commented on in a positive way more often than the MPPs were. With consistent exposure, participants reported more positive than negative changes in perceptions. However, there is still room for improvement in enhancing the sensory quality and ease of food preparation of PPPs.

RESUMO

Few studies have examined dietary protein intake and sources, in combination with longitudinal changes in brain structure markers. Our study aimed to examine the association between dietary protein intake and different sources of dietary protein, with the longitudinal rate of change in brain structural markers. A total of 2723 and 2679 participants from the UK Biobank were separately included in the analysis. The relative and absolute amounts of dietary protein intake were calculated using a 24 h dietary recall questionnaire. The longitudinal change rates of brain structural biomarkers were computed using two waves of brain imaging data. The average interval between the assessments was three years. We utilized multiple linear regression to examine the association between dietary protein and different sources and the longitudinal changes in brain structural biomarkers. Restrictive cubic splines were used to explore nonlinear relationships, and stratified and sensitivity analyses were conducted. Increasing the proportion of animal protein in dietary protein intake was associated with a slower reduction in the total hippocampus volume (THV, ß: 0.02524, p < 0.05), left hippocampus volume (LHV, ß: 0.02435, p < 0.01) and right hippocampus volume (RHV, ß: 0.02544, p < 0.05). A higher intake of animal protein relative to plant protein was linked to a lower atrophy rate in the THV (ß: 0.01249, p < 0.05) and LHV (ß: 0.01173, p < 0.05) and RHV (ß: 0.01193, p < 0.05). Individuals with a higher intake of seafood exhibited a higher longitudinal rate of change in the HV compared to those that did not consume seafood (THV, ß: 0.004514; p < 0.05; RHV, ß: 0.005527, p < 0.05). In the subgroup and sensitivity analyses, there were no significant alterations. A moderate increase in an individual's intake and the proportion of animal protein in their diet, especially from seafood, is associated with a lower atrophy rate in the hippocampus volume.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence suggests health-promoting properties of increased protein intake. There is increased interest in plant protein but a dearth of information in relation to its impact on muscle function. The objective of the present work was to examine the impact of intake of different types of proteins on muscle functional parameters including handgrip strength, biomarkers of metabolic health, sleep quality and quality of life in a group of older adults. METHODS: Healthy men and women aged 50 years and older entered a double-blinded, randomised, controlled nutritional intervention study with three parallel arms: high plant protein, high dairy protein and low protein. Participants consumed once daily a ready-to-mix shake (containing 20 g of protein in high protein groups) for 12 weeks. Changes in handgrip and leg strength, body composition, metabolic health, quality of life and sleep quality were analysed by linear mixed models in an intention-to-treat approach. RESULTS: Eligible participants (n = 171) were randomly assigned to the groups (plant: n = 60, dairy: n = 56, low protein: n = 55) and 141 completed the study. Handgrip strength increased after the intervention (Ptime = 0.038), with no significant difference between the groups. There was no significant difference between groups for any other health outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: In a population of older adults, increasing protein intake by 20 g daily for 12 weeks (whether plant-based or dairy-based) did not result in significant differences in muscle function, body composition, metabolic health, sleep quality or quality of life, compared with the low protein group.

RESUMO

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This narrative review will discuss how the intake of specific protein sources (animal and vegetable) providing specific amino acids can modulate the gut microbiota composition and generate toxins. A better understanding of these interactions could lead to more appropriate dietary recommendations to improve gut health and mitigate the risk of complications promoted by the toxic metabolites formed by the gut microbiota. RECENT FINDINGS: Gut microbiota is vital in maintaining human health by influencing immune function and key metabolic pathways. Under unfavorable conditions, the gut microbiota can produce excess toxins, which contribute to inflammation and the breakdown of the integrity of the intestinal barrier. Genetic and environmental factors influence gut microbiota diversity, with diet playing a crucial role. Emerging evidence indicates that the gut microbiota significantly metabolizes amino acids from dietary proteins, producing various metabolites with beneficial and harmful effects. Amino acids such as choline, betaine, l-carnitine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, and tryptophan can increase the production of uremic toxins when metabolized by intestinal bacteria. The type of food source that provides these amino acids affects the production of toxins. Plant-based diets and dietary fiber are associated with lower toxin formation than animal-based diets due to the high amino acid precursors in animal proteins.

RESUMO

Purpose: Major changes were made to Canada's Food Guide (CFG) in 2019. This study aimed to understand the perceptions of older adults toward this newest version.Methods: Older adults were invited to participate via newsletters sent to older adults and retirees' organizations in the Province of Quebec. Participants completed an online survey about their baseline familiarity with the 2019 CFG using a 5-point Likert scale and took part in an individual semi-structured online interview, which explored their perceptions toward the 2019 CFG. A thematic qualitative analysis of the interview transcripts was performed.Results: Fifty-eight older adults (>65 years, 30 women, 28 men, including 19 consumers and 39 non-consumers of plant-based protein (PBP) foods) participated in the study. Older adults were mostly familiar with the 2019 CFG and had a positive perception of its features. They appreciated the design, proposed recipes, and healthy eating recommendations. Perceptions about the three food groups were mixed, mainly regarding the decreased emphasis on dairy products. Some appreciated that animal proteins were less prominent, while others raised issues on how to integrate PBP into their diet. Perceptions appeared to be influenced by sex and PBP consumption.Conclusion: Older adults in the Province of Quebec view most of the 2019 CFG recommendations positively. Our observations may be useful to dietitians and public health practitioners when developing strategies to improve adherence.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: This study examined the effects of animal protein- and plant protein-rich diets on postprandial phosphorus metabolism in healthy male subjects. METHODS: The study was conducted by randomised parallel-group comparison of healthy men aged 21-24 years. In Study 1, participants were divided into two groups and consumed either a 70% animal protein diet (AD, n = 6) or a 70% plant protein diet (PD, n = 6). In Study 2, participants were divided into three groups and consumed either AD (n = 10), PD (n = 10) or AD + DF, a 70% animal protein diet loaded with the same amount of fibre as PD (n = 9). The phosphorus contents of the diets used in this study were nearly equivalent (AD, 710.1 mg; PD, 709.7 mg; AD + DF, 708.9 mg). Blood and urine samples were collected before, and 2 and 4 h after the meal to measure phosphorus and calcium levels. RESULTS: In Study 1, PD consumption resulted in lower blood and urinary phosphorus concentrations 2 h postprandially compared with AD (p < 0.05). In Study 2, blood phosphorus levels in AD + DF after the diet remained lower, but not significantly so compared with AD, and urinary phosphorus levels were significantly lower 2 h postprandially (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: A plant protein-rich diet reduced rapid postprandial increases in blood and urinary phosphorus concentrations compared with the animal protein-rich diets, suggesting that dietary fibre may play a partial role in the postprandial decreases in blood and urinary phosphorus concentrations.

RESUMO

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review provides the latest insight into the impact of consuming plant-based protein for older people. RECENT FINDINGS: According to the latest data, a healthy diet rich in plant-based-protein-rich-food could promote healthy aging. This health effect is partly because of the amino acid composition of proteins, as well as to the important constituents such as fiber and bioactive compounds found in the matrix. Furthermore, even though animal protein is more effective at stimulating muscle protein synthesis, a high consumption of plant protein (beyond 31 g/day) appears to enhance physical performance and reduce the risk of frailty in older individuals. SUMMARY: Recent literature highlights numerous health benefits for older people associated with a substantial intake of plant-based vs. animal-based protein, both in preventing and mitigating chronic age-related diseases and reducing the risk of all-cause mortality. However, a high intake of plant-based protein-rich products could pose risks of malnutrition and fiber-related intestinal intolerances. Further research is needed to assess the risk-benefit ratio of a high consumption of plant proteins in older individuals before we can make robust recommendations on how far animal proteins can be healthfully replaced with plant proteins.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Epidemiological evidence suggests that a potential association between dietary protein intake and cardiovascular disease (CVD) may depend on the protein source, that is, plant- or animal-derived, but past research was limited and inconclusive. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the association of dietary plant- or animal-derived protein consumption with risk of CVD, and its components ischemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke. METHODS: This analysis in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)-CVD case-cohort study included 16,244 incident CVD cases (10,784 IHD and 6423 stroke cases) and 15,141 subcohort members from 7 European countries. We investigated the association of estimated dietary protein intake with CVD, IHD, and stroke (total, fatal, and nonfatal) using multivariable-adjusted Prentice-weighted Cox regression. We estimated isocaloric substitutions of replacing fats and carbohydrates with plant- or animal-derived protein and replacing food-specific animal protein with plant protein. Multiplicative interactions between dietary protein and prespecified variables were tested. RESULTS: Neither plant- nor animal-derived protein intake was associated with incident CVD, IHD, or stroke in adjusted analyses without or with macronutrient-specified substitution analyses. Higher plant-derived protein intake was associated with 22% lower total stroke incidence among never smokers [HR 0.78, 95% confidence intervals (CI): 0.62, 0.99], but not among current smokers (HR 1.08, 95% CI: 0.83, 1.40, P-interaction = 0.004). Moreover, higher plant-derived protein (per 3% total energy) when replacing red meat protein (HR 0.52, 95% CI: 0.31, 0.88), processed meat protein (HR 0.39, 95% CI: 0.17, 0.90), and dairy protein (HR 0.54, 95% CI: 0.30, 0.98) was associated with lower incidence of fatal stroke. CONCLUSION: Plant- or animal-derived protein intake was not associated with overall CVD. However, the association of plant-derived protein consumption with lower total stroke incidence among nonsmokers, and with lower incidence of fatal stroke highlights the importance of investigating CVD subtypes and potential interactions. These observations warrant further investigation in diverse populations with varying macronutrient intakes and dietary patterns.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Inflammation and impaired muscle synthesis are important factors of sarcopenia. Plant protein may reduce inflammation but may not be as efficient as animal protein in providing essential amino acids. We therefore examined the associations between dietary protein intake and changes in muscle mass and physical performance, incident sarcopenia, and the interaction effect of inflammation. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: The Mr. OS and Ms. OS (Hong Kong) cohort. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 2,811 sarcopenia-free participants and 569 sarcopenia participants aged ≥65 years were recruited from communities. MEASUREMENTS: Dietary protein intake was assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire. Serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) was measured. Linear regression examined the associations between dietary protein intake and 4-year changes in muscle mass and physical performance. Cox regression examined the association between dietary protein intake and incident sarcopenia. RESULTS: Higher plant protein intake, but not total and animal protein, was associated with less decline in muscle mass and gait speed among sarcopenia-free participants. Conversely, higher ratio of animal-to-plant protein was associated with reduced muscle mass loss among participants with sarcopenia. The highest tertile of plant protein intake was associated with lower incident sarcopenia risk (HR: 0.75, 95% CI: 0.57-0.98; P-trend = 0.034) compared to the lowest tertile. Notably, this association was observed among participants with higher serum hs-CRP levels (HR: 0.57, 95% CI: 0.34-0.95), but not in those with lower hs-CRP levels. CONCLUSION: Dietary animal and plant protein intake have differential associations with muscle mass and physical performance in older adults with and without sarcopenia. The role of plant protein in preventing sarcopenia involves modulation of inflammation.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common condition in pregnancy, the prevalence of which has increased. Identifying modifiable risk factors for GDM, such as dietary factors, could prevent or delay the onset of the condition. Our goal was to perform a comprehensive meta-analysis of cohort studies, to summarize the current evidence on the relationship between total, animal, and plant protein intake during pregnancy, as well as pre-pregnancy protein intake, and the risk of GDM. METHODS: A literature search was completed using Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar up to January 2023 and references of retrieved relevant articles. Observational studies examining the association between the consumption of dietary protein from different sources in pre-pregnancy or/and during pregnancy and the risk of GDM were included. To combine effect sizes for the comparison between the highest and lowest categories of protein intake, a random effects model was utilized. Dose-response relationships were investigated using a 1-stage random-effects model. RESULTS: 8 observational studies were included in the systematic review and 5 prospective cohort studies in the meta-analysis, involving a total of 24,160 participants and 2450 cases of GDM. The analysis revealed a significant association between total protein intake during pregnancy and an elevated risk of GDM (relative risk (RR): 2.24, 95 % confidence interval (CI): 1.67-3.00, P = 0.000). Conversely, no significant association was found between total protein intake before pregnancy and the risk of GDM. Both animal protein intake before pregnancy (RR: 1.47, 95 % CI: 1.06-2.03, P = 0.021) and during pregnancy (RR; 2.31, 95 % CI: 1.43-3.73, P = 0.001) showed a significant association with GDM. Interestingly, there was no significant association between the consumption of plant protein both before and during pregnancy and the risk of GDM. Further analysis revealed that an additional 5 % energy from total protein and animal protein per day was associated with a 24 % and 32 % before and 114 % and 67 % increased risk of GDM during pregnancy respectively. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, consumption of animal protein and total protein before pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of GDM, although the association is not significant for total protein. Conversely, plant protein intake is linked to a decreased risk of GDM, however, the results are not significant. The intake of any protein type (plant/animal/total) during pregnancy is associated with an elevated risk of GDM, with this association being statistically insignificant for plant protein. Further cohort studies are required to validate the findings presented in this study. REGISTRATION: PROSPERO (CRD42023396215).

RESUMO

Whole-body tissue protein turnover is regulated, in part, by the postprandial rise in plasma amino acid concentrations, although minimal data exist on the amino acid response following non-animal-derived protein consumption. We hypothesised that the ingestion of novel plant- and algae-derived dietary protein sources would elicit divergent plasma amino acid responses when compared with vegan- and animal-derived control proteins. Twelve healthy young (male (m)/female (f): 6/6; age: 22 ± 1 years) and 10 healthy older (m/f: 5/5; age: 69 ± 2 years) adults participated in a randomised, double-blind, cross-over trial. During each visit, volunteers consumed 30 g of protein from milk, mycoprotein, pea, lupin, spirulina or chlorella. Repeated arterialised venous blood samples were collected at baseline and over a 5-h postprandial period to assess circulating amino acid, glucose and insulin concentrations. Protein ingestion increased plasma total and essential amino acid concentrations (P < 0·001), to differing degrees between sources (P < 0·001), and the increase was further modulated by age (P < 0·001). Postprandial maximal plasma total and essential amino acid concentrations were highest for pea (2828 ± 106 and 1480 ± 51 µmol·l-1) and spirulina (2809 ± 99 and 1455 ± 49 µmol·l-1) and lowest for chlorella (2053 ± 83 and 983 ± 35 µmol·l-1) (P < 0·001), but were not affected by age (P > 0·05). Postprandial total and essential amino acid availabilities were highest for pea, spirulina and mycoprotein and lowest for chlorella (all P < 0·05), but no effect of age was observed (P > 0·05). The ingestion of a variety of novel non-animal-derived dietary protein sources elicits divergent plasma amino acid responses, which are further modulated by age.

RESUMO

This study evaluated the feasibility and safety of a telehealth delivered exercise plus plant-based protein diet in adults with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This was a 12-week, randomised controlled feasibility trial including twenty-eight adults aged > 45 years with NAFLD randomised to a home muscle strengthening program (3 d/week) with increased protein intake (target ∼1·2-1·5 g/kg/d) from predominately plant-based sources and behavioural change support (3-4 text messages/week) (Pro-Ex n 14) or usual care (UC, n 14). Feasibility was assessed via retention (≤ 10 % attrition), adherence (exercise ≥ 66 %; recommended daily protein serves ≥ 80 %) and safety (adverse events). Secondary outcomes included macronutrient intake (3 × 24-h records), weight, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and 30 s sit-to-stand (STS) performance. Study retention was 89 %. Mean exercise adherence (Pro-Ex) was 52 % with one adverse event from 241 sessions. In Pro-Ex, mean daily plant protein serves increased (0·9 to 1·4/d) and animal protein decreased (1·5 to 1·2/d) after 12-weeks, but overall adherence (serves/day) was 32[RD1] % (plant) and 42 % (animal). Relative to UC, Pro-Ex experienced a mean 2·7 (95 % CI: 0·9, 4·4) increase in 30 s STS number, 46-minute (95 % CI: -153, 245) increase in MVPA, 1·7 kg (95 % CI: -3·5, 0·2) decrease in weight, 35·2 g (95 % CI: 11·0, 59·3) increase in protein. In adults with NAFLD a telehealth home exercise and dietary intervention was safe and improved habitual plant and animal protein intake, but overall adherence was modest suggesting more intensive healthcare support may be required.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Malnutrition is a global concern in older adults, as it negatively affects morbidity and mortality. While higher animal protein intake may help prevent and treat malnutrition, it might also increase the risk of chronic diseases and death. Conversely, vegetable protein intake might have a lower anabolic effect and not be as effective to improve nutritional status. We studied whether animal and vegetable protein intake are associated with changes in nutritional status in older adults. DESIGN: We used pooled data from two Spanish cohorts: the Seniors-ENRICA 1 and Seniors-ENRICA 2. SETTINGS AND PARTICIPANTS: 2,965 community-dwelling adults aged 62-92 years. MEASUREMENTS: Protein intake was estimated at baseline via an electronic, validated diet history. Nutritional status was assessed at baseline and after 2.6 years with the GLIM (Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition) phenotypic criteria: weight loss, low body mass index, and reduced muscle mass. The odds of improvements in nutritional status were assessed with logistic regression models, extensively adjusted for potential confounders. RESULTS: Higher animal and vegetable protein intake were associated with improvements in nutritional status [odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) per 0.25 g/kg/day were 1.15 (1.00, 1.32) and 1.77 (1.35, 2.32), respectively]. Cereal protein intake drove most of the latter association [2.07 (1.44, 2.98)]. Replacing 0.25 g/kg/day of total animal protein, meat, or fish protein (but not dairy or egg protein) with vegetable protein was associated with improvements in nutritional status [1.54 (1.13, 2.09), 1.70 (1.20, 2.41), and 1.77 (1.18, 2.64), respectively]. CONCLUSIONS: Higher animal and, especially, vegetable protein intake were associated with improvements in nutritional status in older adults. Replacing total animal protein, meat, or fish protein with vegetable protein may help improve malnutrition.

RESUMO

Previous studies have demonstrated that thermal processing in the presence of lactate and amino acids can produce taste-active N-lactoyl amino acids. This study aimed to investigate the impact of lactate and thermal processing on the sensory characteristics of acid-hydrolyzed vegetable proteins (aHVP). The results showed that the processed aHVP exhibited enhanced kokumi, a milder umami taste, and reduced bitterness on treatment with 1% lactate at 110 °C for 3 h or 3% lactate at 120 °C for 2 h compared to the unprocessed samples. Partial or orthogonal least-squares discriminant analysis and variable importance in projection (VIP) analyses revealed the significant contributions of N-,l-Lac-l-hydrophobic AAs [-Met, -Ile, -Leu, -Val, and -Phe (VIP > 1.2)] to the observed differences between the processed and unprocessed samples. Electronic tongue analysis confirmed the sensory findings and indicated a decrease in the aftertaste of bitterness in the processed samples. Furthermore, the study identified the sensory characteristics of N-l-Lac-l-Met, -Ile, and -Leu, highlighting their potential to enhance salty, umami, and kokumi perception in simulated broth. Furthermore, the study incorporated the addition of bitter amino acids (Val, Ile, Leu, Tyr, Phe, Lys, His, and Arg) and the aforementioned N-l-Lac-l-AAs to aHVP, providing further evidence for their contributions to bitterness and aftertaste-B as well as the kokumi differences, respectively. This study provides valuable insights into the sensory effects of lactate and thermal processing on aHVP, facilitating the development of improved taste-enhancing strategies.

RESUMO

The gut microbiota plays a pivotal role in the balance between host health and obesity. The composition of the gut microbiota can be influenced by external factors, among which diet plays a key role. As the source of dietary protein is important to achieve weight loss and gut microbiota modulation, in the literature there is increasing evidence to suggest consuming more plant proteins than animal proteins. In this review, a literature search of clinical trials published until February 2023 was conducted to examine the effect of different macronutrients and dietary patterns on the gut microbiota in subjects with overweight and obesity. Several studies have shown that a higher intake of animal protein, as well as the Western diet, can lead to a decrease in beneficial gut bacteria and an increase in harmful ones typical of obesity. On the other hand, diets rich in plant proteins, such as the Mediterranean diet, lead to a significant increase in anti-inflammatory butyrate-producing bacteria, bacterial diversity and a reduction in pro-inflammatory bacteria. Therefore, since diets rich in fiber, plant protein, and an adequate amount of unsaturated fat may help to beneficially modulate the gut microbiota involved in weight loss, further studies are needed.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Some patients do not have the expected weight loss, and the post-surgical diet may partially explain these differences. OBJECTIVES: To estimate the impact of macronutrient substitution on obesity remission after RYGB, considering the protein source. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study included 58 patients undergoing RYGB. Data collection was performed preoperatively, 3 and 12 months after surgery. Eight participants dropped out of the study at 3 months, and the others remained for 12 months. The foods consumed were registered using a 24-h, 3-day food recall. For the isocaloric substitution analysis, foods were classified according to the protein source. The groups were compared using hypothesis tests, and Cox proportional hazard ratio regression was used to analyze isocaloric substitution. RESULTS: At three months after surgery, every 5% energy from plant protein replaced by animal protein increased by 3.50 [CI 1.204 - 10.205; p = 0.021] the probability of obesity remission. Stratified analysis by protein groups indicated that replacing vegetable protein with white meat was positively associated with remission of obesity. Every 5% vegetable protein replaced with white meat increased by 3.20 [CI 1.026 - 9.981; p = 0.045] the probability of obesity remission. Both results were independent of age, body mass index (BMI), and the presence of comorbidities. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that the consumption of animal proteins after RYGB, mainly white meat, favors weight loss.
