The effects of long-term high-protein consumption (i.e., >2.2 g/kg/day) are unclear as it relates to bone mineral content. Thus, the primary endpoint of this investigation was to determine if consuming a high-protein diet for one year affected various parameters of body composition in exercise-trained women. This investigation is a follow-up to a prior 6-month study. Subjects were instructed to consume a high-protein diet (>2.2 g/kg/day) for one year. Body composition was assessed via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Subjects were instructed to keep a food diary (i.e., log their food ~three days per week for a year) via the mobile app MyFitnessPal®. Furthermore, a subset of subjects had their blood analyzed (i.e., basic metabolic panel). Subjects consumed a high-protein diet for one year (mean ± SD: 2.3 ± 1.1 grams per kilogram body weight daily [g/kg/day]). There were no significant changes for any measure of body composition over the course of the year (i.e., body weight, fat mass, lean body mass, percent fat, whole body bone mineral content, whole body T-score, whole body bone mineral density, lumbar bone mineral content, lumbar bone mineral density and lumbar T-score). In addition, we found no adverse effects on kidney function. Based on this 1-year within-subjects investigation, it is evident that a diet high in protein has no adverse effects on bone mineral density or kidney function.

Previous studies (e.g. Cia et al. 1998) have shown that modification of body composition of the prepubertal gilt has effects on responsiveness of gilts to exogenous gonadotrophin. Growing pigs are able to select a diet from different foods differing in protein:energy ratio (Dalby 1998); however there is little evidence of what effect the conflicting nutritional demands of growth and reproduction have on diet selection. The objectives of the experiment were to quantify the effects of choice feeding on responsiveness of gilts to exogenous gonadotrophin (Cia et al. 1998) and to investigate the effect of protein source on diet selection as Jones et al.(2000) have observed selection by breeding gilts against a high protein diet containing fishmeal.

OBJECTIVE The fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) variant has shown the strongest association with obesity. Recent studies suggest that dietary intake may modify the genetic effects of FTO. We tested the effect of FTO variant on long-term weight loss and change in body composition in a 2-year randomized intervention trial. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS FTO SNP rs1558902 was genotyped in 742 overweight or obese adults who were randomly assigned to one of four diets differing in the percentages of energy derived from fat, protein and carbohydrate (20, 15, and 65%; 20, 25, and 55%; 40, 15, and 45%; and 40, 25, and 35%) in the Pounds Lost Trial for 2 years. Body composition and fat distribution were measured in 424 and 195 participants by Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and computed tomography (CT), respectively. RESULTS We found significant modification effects for diet intervention varying in protein (low vs high), but not in fat, on 2-year changes in total fat, fat free mass (FFM), fat mass% (FM%), trunk fat%, total adipose tissue mass (TAT), visceral adipose tissue mass (VAT) and superficial adipose tissue mass (SAT) (P for interactions=0.045, 0.036, 0.033, 0.048, 0.001, 0.008 and 0.002, respectively). Carriers of the risk allele (A allele) had a greater loss of weight and regional fat in response to high protein diet, while an opposite genetic effect was observed on changes in TAT and SAT in response to low protein diet at 2 years. Significant gene by diet interventions (low vs high protein) were also observed at 6 months of intervention, when the maximum of weight-loss was achieved, for changes in FFM, TAT, VAT and SAT (P for interactions=0.007, 0.019, 0.036 and 0.041, respectively). Patterns of change in body composition and fat distribution by diet intervention were similar at 6 month and 2 year. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that a high-protein diet may be beneficial for weight loss in individuals with the risk allele of the FTO variant rs1558902.
