Effect of different protein sources on satiation and short-term satiety when consumed as a starter
Finding: Food intake was significantly lower only after casein and pea protein vs. water control (p=0.02 and p=0.04 respectively); whey did not reach significance.
View on PubMed Intraduodenal administration of intact pea protein effectively reduces food intake in both lean and obese male subjects
Finding: Intraduodenal pea protein reduced food intake by 168.9±40 kcal (lean, p<0.01) and 298.2±44 kcal (obese, p<0.01); oral route showed smaller non-significant effects.
View on PubMed Protein Source Influences Acute Appetite and Satiety but Not Subsequent Food Intake in Healthy Adults
Finding: Casein and pea protein significantly reduced 4-h appetite vs. soy (p<0.05) and increased peptide YY (p<0.05); no differences in ad libitum energy intake across sources.
View on PubMed The Short-Term Effect of Whey Compared with Pea Protein on Appetite, Food Intake, and Energy Expenditure in Young and Older Men
Finding: No significant effect of protein source (pea vs. whey) on appetite markers, food intake, or energy expenditure; age significantly modulated energy expenditure.
View on PubMed Are Dietary Proteins the Key to Successful Body Weight Management? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Studies Assessing Body Weight Outcomes
Finding: High-protein diets reduced body weight by ~1.6 kg more than controls (95% CI 1.2–2.0 kg); no pea-protein-specific subgroup analyzed.
