The goal is to subject them to a low-calorie, high-protein diet to see if proteins of animal and plant origin produce the same effect on the body.
A group of researchers from the Miguel Servet Hospital have started work on protein-rich diets and, to carry it out, they need volunteers. Specialists have already shown that low-calorie diets with high protein content are not only more effective for losing weight but also produce cardiometabolic benefits. This implies that following these regimens helps the metabolism better regulate glucose, triglycerides...
The research aims to include around 130 people of legal age (18 to 80 years old) who must meet the following requirements: excess weight, diabetes or glucose above 100, and not follow insulin treatment.

This study follows a line developed at Servet for years through the Primary Dyslipidemia Unit directed by Professor of Medicine Fernando Civeira, based on the search for diets or foods that improve people's health, especially in which refers to its sugar and lipid values, whose excess consumption has a wide impact on diseases such as diabetes or cardiovascular problems. Researchers from the IIS, as well as the Network Biomedical Research Center for Cardiovascular Diseases (CIBERCV), participate in these studies.
This is explained by Rocío Mateo Gallego, nutritionist researcher at the Aragon Health Research Institute (IISA) in the Primary Dyslipidemia Unit of the HUMS, where this new clinical study is now beginning. “We know the benefits of low-calorie and high-protein diets, but are all proteins equal?” says this professor from the University of Zaragoza.
The study will allow “to compare low-calorie diets rich in proteins, preferably of animal origin, with low-calorie diets rich in proteins, preferably of plant origin.” Each diet will be calculated in a personalized way taking into account weight, height, daily activity and physical exercise that may be indicated, among other values. Monitoring is individual and a very high level of commitment is required from each volunteer.
