The document summarizes two studies on the effects of fish protein supplementation. Study 1 investigated the effects of fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) supplementation on body composition, CCK, and GLP-1 secretion in overweight adults. It found that FPH increased levels of appetite-regulating hormones CCK and GLP-1 and decreased body weight, BMI, fat mass, and waist circumference. Study 2 examined the effects of low-dose fish protein supplementation on glucose tolerance, blood lipids, blood pressure, and body composition in overweight adults. It found that fish protein improved glucose tolerance and lowered LDL cholesterol while increasing muscle mass and decreasing body fat percentage. Both studies demonstrated beneficial effects of fish protein supplementation on weight regulation and metabolic

With the development of modern society, prevalence of
overweight and obesity is seriously threatening global
health.
Main reasons are people’s life style of decreased physical
activity and intake of high energy food.
Overweight and obesity are risk factors for several diseases
and disorders, and the most common are insulin resistance,
type 2 diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia
and CHD.
Not only the quantity of food intake and also composition
of diet may be important for achieving and maintaining
weight loss over time.
A modest increase in protein intake combined with a
modest reduction in glycaemic index shows positive
results.
3. In the U.S., 70.9 percent of men and 61.9
percent of women are overweight or obese,
compared to 38 percent of men and 36.9
percent of women worldwide.

28.8 percent of boys and 29.7 percent of girls
are overweight or obese in the U.S., compared
to 14.2 percent of boys and 14.7 percent of
girls worldwide.
4. Most medical societies, recommend a diet relatively rich in carbohydrate and low
in fat to prevent obesity and related diseases.
However, the public interest in alternative diets is increasing, in particular for diets
with high protein and high fat content in relation to carbohydrates.
The long-term regulation of maintenance of body weight is integrated by endocrine
signals and coupled with short-term signals related to meal size, like
cholecystokinin (CCK) and GLP-1.

This Contributes to regulate daily energy intake in
synchronization with long-term body weight
regulation.
High intake of dietary protein at the expense of
carbohydrates increases satiety in the short term,
and may thereby reduce the intake of energy.

Protein Hydrolysates are able to stimulate CCK and GLP-1 secretions and their respective
gene transcription in stomach.
Protein confers the highest satiating effect of all macronutrients.
Because of the strong potential of protein to stimulate satietogenic peptides secretion, their
utilization as appetite suppressive products in the prevention and treatment of obesity has
evidenced growing interest last few years.
6. Fish Protein hydrolysates (FPHs) are complex mixtures of free amino acids and
small peptide fragments.
Obtained by breaking down naturally occurring intact proteins from by-products
of fish, which includes skin, head, viscera, trimmings, liver, frames and bones.
It is a breakdown product of enzymatic conversion of fish proteins into smaller
peptides, which normally contain 2–20 amino acids. It contains minimum 70%
of hydrolyzed protein.

Fish protein hydrolysates (FPHs) have been reported as a suitable source of
proteins for human nutrition because of their balanced amino acid
composition and positive effect on gastrointestinal absorption.
Studies on fish-derived peptides demonstrated antihypertensive, antioxidant,
immunomodulating effects, reparative properties in the intestine, and effects
in reducing plasma cholesterol and triglycerides levels.
Protein hydrolysates can be produced using a variety of methods, including
heating with acids or by enzymatic treatment with either endogenous or
exogenous proteolytic enzymes.

18. Both the 1.4 and 2.8 g FPH dose increased the serum levels of CCK and GLP-1.
The increase of CCK and GLP-1 was statistically significant when compared with placebo
without any differences among the two tested doses after 90 days of treatment.
Body composition was changed. Body weight, BMI, fat mass, and circumferences were
statistically significantly decreased when compared with placebo after 90 days of treatment.
Notably, the decrease in body weight was not related to extracellular water decrease
(‘draining effect’) but was related to fat mass decrease (‘slimming effect’).
No differences in CCK/GLP-1 blood concentrations and changes in markers of body
composition were found between the 1.4 and 2.8 g concentration, indicating a plateau effect
starting from the 1.4 g FPH doses.
The putative mechanism of action of FPH in body weight management could be as follows:
1) an increase of CCK and GLP-1 blood levels, 2) a decrease in food intake (meal size)
stimulated by CCK and GLP-1 secretion in the short term, and 3) a decrease of adipose tissue
mass mediated by GLP-1 interaction with leptin in the long term. 18

Statistical Analysis:
Statistical analysis was performed using PASW Statistics 19.0 software.
Data normality was checked using Shapiro Wilk normality test and data shape.
The majority of data were not normally distributed and therefore non-parametric tests
were used for all data comparisons.
The Mann Whitney U test was used to compare data between groups.
The Wilcoxon signed ranks test for paired samples was used to compare changes
within groups over the time course of the study.
Data are presented as medians with interquartile ranges.
P values,0.05 were considered statistically significant.
34. No statistically significant differences were found between the treatment groups for
age or BMI.
No statistically significant changes were seen in the macronutrient and energy intake
during the course of the study.
Based on the interviews, there were no significant changes in physical activity in
either group.
At the end of the study, the fasting glucose level was significantly lower in the fish
protein group when compared to placebo, whereas no differences were seen in
fasting insulin, fasting insulin C-peptide and HOMA-IR at this time point.
AUC for five glucose measurements was significantly improved after 8 weeks, and
fasting glucose.
A significant reduction in postprandial insulin C-peptide levels were observed after 8
weeks in the fish protein group. 28

different between groups at any of the three time points.
The LDL-cholesterol level was significantly reduced in the fish protein group at
the end of the study compared to baseline whereas no change was seen in the
placebo group.
A significant increase in the HDL:LDL ratio was seen in the fish protein group at
the end of the study when compared to baseline.
No significant differences were seen for systolic or diastolic blood pressure
between the fish protein group and control group.
Body weight and percentage of muscle were significantly increased during the
first 4 weeks of the study in the fish protein group, concomitant with a significant
reduction of percentage of body fat.

40. Fish protein isolated from inexpensive fish could provide a new basis for the
incorporation of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in to functional foods.
It is a logical vehicle for increasing the consumption of omega-3 PUFAs, production of
gut hormones associated with suppressing appetite without the need for dietary
supplements in a pill or capsule form.
Functional Foods “ are food products that contain added, technologically developed
ingredients with specific health benefits.”
Standardized procedures to examine the functional properties are needed, as well as
more studies on using endogenous enzymes to make functional FPH.
Moreover, in the global context of marine resource depletion it could be of economical
and ecological interest to promote the development of fish by-products upgrading.
