EFFECT OF WHEY PROTEIN INTAKE ON FEMALE BODY COMPOSITION AND RESTING METABOLIC RATE
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PURE MEDICAL RESEARCH - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: The aim of the current study was to examine the effect of whey protein supplement on anthropometric measures as well as on resting metabolic rate. Methods: Forty-one female students between 18-24 years old were recruited for this case controlled study. Twenty-eight students were given 24 grams of whey protein supplement daily for 21 days. These subjects were divided into three groups based on their body mass index (BMI). Normal weight group (NWG), overweight group (OWG) and obese group (OG). The remaining subjects who had normal weights served as controls(C). Anthropometric measurements, blood analysis, resting metabolic rate were measured in all subjects at baseline and at the end of the study. Results: Fat body mass decreased signicantly (P= < 0.024) in the (NWG). Resting metabolic rate increased signicantly in the NWG and OG (P= < 0.001). Conclusion: Dietary whey protein supplementation even during a 3-week intervention showed signicant increase in resting metabolic rate amongst normal and obese female subjects.
