Impact of Protein Consumption on Appetite Regulation

Impact of Protein Consumption on Appetite Regulation

Short-term protein consumption effectively reduces hunger and increases feelings of fullness. This video explores how protein intake influences appetite-regulating hormones such as ghrelin and cholecystokinin, providing insights from recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses.

    @flowersmarcelo No, it appears the mTOR signalling not as efficient in older people https://t.co/EOxJLeMsU8 but likely many places where anabolic pathways breakdown see https://t.co/wM9xO3OsqV

Abstract Synopsis

  • The article explains that consuming protein after resistance exercise helps older adults rebuild muscle by increasing muscle protein synthesis and reducing breakdown, with the amount of protein being a key factor.
  • Unlike younger adults who respond well to around 20g of protein, older adults need larger doses, such as 40g, to achieve a strong muscle-building response during recovery.
  • The main goal of the article is to review current evidence and recommend the appropriate amount of protein older adults should consume after exercise to effectively support muscle reconditioning.]
