Florida Hospital, Sanford-Burnham research published

New research from Florida Hospital and Sanford-Burnham shows that overeating a higher protein diet increases lean body mass and resting metabolism.

New research from Florida Hospital?

The research examined how a high-protein, high-calorie diet impacts weight gain. It was conducted by Dr. Steven Smith at the Florida Hospital-Sanford-Burnham Translational Research Institute in Orlando and Dr. George Bray at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, La., and was funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture?

The study kept 25 participants inpatient for 10 to 12 weeks, feeding them weight-gaining diets with varying amounts of protein and measuring body composition with a full-body scanner. A low protein diet resulted in less total weight gain but all of the gain was fat.

By contrast, the weight gain in high protein diets increased lean body mass and increased the resting energy expenditures in the participants.

?The next phase of research will evaluate the mechanisms that account for the increased energy burned,? said Smith. ?Understanding how the body increases calorie burning will provide insight into novel ways to rev up metabolism as a way to treat metabolic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.?

The TRI?s new 54,000-square-foot, technologically advanced translational research facility is currently under construction at Florida Hospital?s
