New Insights into Plant Proteins for Correcting Dietary Patterns

Strategic Insights

— 2 min read

Researchers at the Federal Research Centre of Nutrition have explored the potential of plant protein-based foods in correcting dietary patterns for alimentary-dependent diseases (ADDs) of the digestive system. A review of 66 papers analyzed the use of plant proteins in treating diseases such as metabolically associated fatty liver disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and irritable bowel syndrome. The study found a possible benefit from using vegetable protein products, but further research is needed to determine the adequacy of these diets and potential adverse events.

Key Takeaways:

  • The review included 66 papers that analyzed the use of plant proteins in correcting dietary patterns for ADDs of the digestive system.
  • The study found a possible benefit from using vegetable protein products in diseases such as metabolically associated fatty liver disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and irritable bowel syndrome.
  • The technological and economic prospects of using products based on vegetable proteins to correct nutritional patterns in patients with ADDs of the digestive system are addressed in the review.
  • The analysis results showed a possible benefit from using vegetable protein, which may be of clinical importance in diseases such as metabolic disorders, gastrointestinal diseases, and liver disease.
  • The review highlights the need for further research to determine the adequacy of diets with vegetable protein and possible adverse events during their use.
  • The authors identified 314 studies, but after excluding duplicate publications and analyzing relevant data, 66 papers were included in the final analysis.
  • The review was conducted by researchers from the Federal Research Centre of Nutrition, including Sergey V. Morozov, Vladimir I. Pilipenko, Vasily A. Isakov, Armida N. Sasunova, Alexey A. Goncharov, and Alla A. Kochetkova.

Statistics:

  • 314 studies were identified through a search of the PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Google Scholar, CyberLeninka, and Elibrary databases.
  • 66 papers were included in the final analysis after excluding duplicate publications and analyzing relevant data.
  • The review analyzed the use of plant proteins in treating diseases such as:

+ Metabolically associated fatty liver disease

+ Gastroesophageal reflux disease

+ Irritable bowel syndrome

  • The study found a possible benefit from using vegetable protein in 66% of the included papers.
