Low Protein/low Methionine/high Carbohydrate Diets Induce Hyperphagia, Increase Energy Expenditure and FGF21, but Modestly Affect Adiposity in Female BalbC Mice (OR09-01-19)

Low-protein diets are reported to induce hyperphagia to fulfil protein needs but at the expense of energy balance with a risk to gain in adiposity. However, different studies did not show body fat gain because an increased energy expenditure partly compensated the increase in energy intake and prevents the gain in adiposity. The present study evaluated in mice the consequence of protein restricted diets combined with protein quality (milk...
