Impact of protein intake from a caloric-restricted diet on liver lipid metabolism in overweight and obese rats of different sexes by Ying Tian, Jiawei Gong, Zhiyan He, Suwen Peng, Yuping Huan, Hongpeng Cao

“…At the same time of 40% calorie restriction, increasing dietary protein intake to twice the normal protein intake has a stronger effect on promoting hepatic triglyceride oxidation and reducing liver fat content in the male overweight and obese rats by increasing the levels of adiponectin and leptin in the blood, and can also significantly reduce the plasma cholesterol concentration in the female overweight and obese rats through inhibiting cholesterol synthesis most likely by increasing glucagon level in the blood.…”
