Acute effect of a cod protein hydrolysate on postprandial acylated ghrelin concentration and sensations associated with appetite in healthy subjects: a double-blind crossover trial

Background: Fish protein hydrolysates are suggested to contain bioactive sequences capable of affecting met- abolic pathways involved in the regulation of glucose metabolism and body weight when consumed in low doses. Modulation of the appetite-regulating hormone ghrelin may explain suppression of insulin secretion and weight loss observed in previous studies with fish protein hydrolysates. Objective: This study aimed to assess the effect of a single, low dose of cod protein hydrolysate (CPH)...
