Protein Source Determines the Effectiveness of High-Protein Diets in Improving Adipose Tissue Function and Insulin Resistance in fa/fa Zucker Rats
The source of dietary protein in HPDs significantly influences metabolic outcomes in obese rats, impacting adipocyte and pancreatic islet size, insulinemia, and immune cell markers in adipose tissue. These findings support the potential of employing targeted dietary protein interventions for managing obesity-related metabolic disorders.
