La rata, como modelo experimental, desempeña un papel crucial en la investigación de rasgos genéticos complejos como la obesidad. Tradicionalmente, los investigadores han empleado medidas como el Índice de Masa Corporal (IMC) para identificar ratas obesas. Sin embargo, esta medida no predice la distribución del peso en los compartimentos de tejido...

Legumes’ high protein content is increasingly valued in food formulations, driving interest in utilizing their by-products. This study evaluates the nutritional quality and applications of four legume by-product protein isolates. Analysis included amino acid composition, antinutrient presence, and in vitro digestion, along with structural analysis....

Increased incomes, urbanization, and an aging population, are leading to changes in consumption patterns, resulting in a growing demand for proteins. From a sustainability perspective, there is a consensus that animal protein production has a disproportionately impact on the environment, particularly in intensive systems that require significant am...

The rat, as a prominent model organism, holds great importance in the investigation of complex genetic traits such as obesity. Traditionally, researchers have metrics like the Lee Index and the Body Mass Index to identify obese rats in prior research endeavors. Nonetheless, various genetic and observational studies, have shown to not accurately pre...

Legumes extracts may contain polyphenols, alkaloids, and terpenoids which can activate anti-obesity mechanisms such as lipolysis, lipid oxidation and thermogenesis. Among legumes, lupins present a unique nutritional profile with optimal combinations of protein and fiber. Lupin enriched foods can acutely reduce appetite and increase satiety, resulti...
