A randomized crossover pilot study examining the effects of a normal protein vs. high protein breakfast on food cravings and reward signals in overweight/obese breakfast skipping late-adolescent girls

摘要

BackgroundThis pilot study examined whether the addition of a normal protein (NP) vs. high protein (HP) breakfast leads to alterations in food cravings and plasma homovanillic acid (HVA), which is an index of central dopamine production, in overweight/obese ‘breakfast skipping’ late-adolescent young women.
