Objective
The objective of the study was to evaluate the metabolic effect of HP Collagen Elastin Plus in Caviarlieri, fish fillet, milk protein (casein), and soy protein isolate as part of composite meals, with similar macro-nutrient composition, in healthy subjects.
Design & Subjects
17 female volunteers (32 -64 years old) were asked to eat the 4 meals randomly, with one week in between each meal. The meals consisted of food with similar nutrient composition, but different types of protein, namely the marine Peptides in Caviarlieri, fish fillet (angler), milk and soy protein isolate. Total amount of energy produced was 1 970 kJ (or 470 kcal). Blood samples were taken for assay of B-glucose, S-insulin, S-free fatty acids, S-triglycerides, and C-peptide in the fasting state and 7 times after eating the test meal up to 240 min.
Results
Caviarlieri Peptides supplementation showed a significant lower blood glucose response than those with fish fillets or milk proteins. It also had a smaller area under the curve (AUC) with p= 0.0052 and p= 0.02, respectively (see graph 1).
