Background. Unloading stress induces skeletal muscle atrophy. We have reported that Cbl-b ubiquitin ligase is a master regulator of unloading-associated muscle atrophy. The present study was designed to elucidate whether dietary soy glycinin protein prevents denervation-mediated muscle atrophy, based on the presence of inhibitory peptides against Cbl-b ubiquitin ligase in soy glycinin protein. ...

Use of soy protein concentrate and carboxy methyl cellulose as fat substitutes in the production Beji-Bersagh cake

The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of feeding various dietary proteins on insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance in rats. Male Wistar rats were fed for 28 days with isoenergetic diets containing either casein, soy protein, or cod protein. Cod protein-fed and soy protein-fed rats had lower fasting plasma glucose and insulin concentrations compared with casein-fed animal...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of consumption of different protein sources on food intake and energy expenditure in normal weight subjects. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Breakfast preparations (casein, soy protein, whey protein or control) were ingested during seven consecutive days. Appetite, food intake, and energy expenditure were assessed. RESULTS Casein consumpti...

This study was designed to compare the acute response of mixed muscle protein synthesis (MPS) to rapidly (i.e., whey hydrolysate and soy) and slowly (i.e., micellar casein) digested proteins both at rest and after resistance exercise. Three groups of healthy young men (n = 6 per group) performed a bout of unilateral leg resistance exercise followed by the consumption of a drink containing an eq...

Three experiments were conducted using 486 weanling pigs (216 in Experiment 1; 210 in Experiment 2; 60 in Experiment 3) to determine the effects of different soy protein concentrate (SPC) sources on growth performance. Soy protein concentrate source 1 is dried with a torus disk following the concentration of soy proteins. This drying procedure will generate some degree of heat and possibly mech...

BACKGROUND In laboratory animals, the consumption of soy protein, rather than animal protein, decreases serum cholesterol concentrations, but studies in humans have been inconclusive. In this meta-analysis of 38 controlled clinical trials, we examined the relation between soy protein consumption and serum lipid concentrations in humans. METHODS We used a random-effects model to quantify the a...

The impact of browning intensity on interfacial properties gellan gum-soy protein conjugate obtained through the Maillard reaction

A comprehensive review focusing on advantages of high-power ultrasound in extraction, emulsification, crystallization, defoaming and modification of functional properties of food proteins was conducted to understand the ultrasonic mechanisms, important process parameters and components to consider for scale-up. The effect of highpower ultrasound on the overall extractability of soy proteins, to...

Soy protein products such as flour, concentrates and isolates are used in food formulation because of their functionality, nutritional value and low cost. To obtain their optimal nutritive and functional properties as well as desirable flavor different treatments are used. Soybean proteins can be modified by physical, chemical and enzymatic treatments. Different thermal treatments are most comm...
