Abstract:This study was performed to investigate the effect of corn gluten hydrolysates, which contains high branched amino acid (BCAA) especially leucine, on weight reduction. To induce overweight, 8 weeks old male Sprague Dawley rats (n=80) were divided into two groups. One group (n=8) was fed normal fat diet (16.9% energy from fat) and the other group (n=72) was fed high fat diet (60.0% energy from fat) for 13 weeks. After 13 weeks, we sacrificed normal fat diet group (n=8) and some of high fat diet group (n=8) for … Show more
