Title
Effect of Whey Protein Supplementation and Exercise on Body Composition and Biochemical Indices among Overweight and Obese Adults
Abstract
This study aimed to determine the effects of whey protein supplementation
(WPS) and exercise on body composition, lipid, glucose and renal function
among overweight and obese individuals. A parallel-design comparison study
was conducted among 80 overweight or obese adults. Subjects with similar
characteristics were matched and randomly assigned to 1 of the 4 groups:
control, exercise, WPS or WPS plus exercise group for 12 weeks. Two groups
(1. WPS group and 2. WPS + exercise group) consumed 29g whey protein
mixed in 300mL water 30 minutes before breakfast and dinner twice daily. The
two groups which included exercise (1. exercise group and 2. WPS + exercise
group) increased exercise 30 minutes daily, 5 days weekly. Body composition,
lipids, glucose, and renal function were assessed at weeks 0, 6 and 12.
Between-group mean changes in parameters after six and 12 weeks were
assessed using one-way ANOVA. Time points were compared within groups
using one-way repeated measures ANOVA and Duncan post hoc comparison.
62 subjects completed the study. The WPS + exercise group exhibited
significantly improved body composition, blood glucose and total cholesterol
at 12 weeks compared with baseline (p < 0.05). Triglyceride, LDL cholesterol,
HDL cholesterol, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and uric acid did not
significantly differ in all groups. Supplementation using whey protein and exercise
may improve body composition, plasma glucose and total cholesterol among
overweight and obese adults. However, a decrease in dietary intake was
observed in the intervention group that could have changed body composition.
Consequently, the relationship between supplementation, exercise, dietary
intake and body composition needs to be clarified in a future study.
