Possible Role of the Hypothalamic Melanocortin System to Induce Satiety by High Protein/low Carbohydrate Diets
… that the greater satiety when a high protein/low carbohydrate diet is consumed is influenced, in part, by an increase in the activity of the melanocortin system, specifically the neuropeptide alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (alphaMSH) within the MBH. We then evaluated some characteristics …

Effect of a Low-Carbohydrate, High-Protein Diet on Bone Mineral Density, Biomarkers of Bone Turnover, and Calcium Metabolism in Healthy Pre-Menopausal Females
Low-carbohydrate, high-protein (LCHP) diets have been shown to induce weight loss and beneficial changes in blood lipids that suggest cardiovascular disease risk reduction; however, LCHP diets have not been adequately investigated for health effects on the skeleton. A randomized trial to determine …
