[eng] Objective:
When we think on bioactive compounds, foods that first come to our minds are
vegetables and fruits; however, meat and meat products also contain bioactive
compounds. The aim of this thesis is to identify main bioactive compounds that can
be found in fish and meat and review evidence that these compounds could help to
prevent obesity and/or obesity-related diseases.
Methodology:
First, I did some literature review on the bioactive compounds in meat and meat
products. Secondly, I used MedLine to analyze a number of scientific experiments
that show a relationship between obesity and related disturbances and specific bioactives
in meat and meat products in humans, animal models and cell culture systems.
Then I generated the tables to demonstrate the link between the bioactive compounds
and obesity. Finally, I searched for the EFSA claims.
Conclusion: • Taurine: Studies on humans and animals show that taurine decreases body
weight, ameliorates glucose and lipid metabolism • Alpha lipoic acid: Studies both on humans and animals indicate that alpha
lipoic acid decreases body weight, regulates lipid and glucose metabolism and
decreases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease • L-Carnitine: There is a limited amount of studies on L-Carnitine that
concentrate on the effect on body weight and composition. The studies on
humans are limited and the results obtained from the studies on animals are
contradictory; for instance, some of them show L-carnitine has a positive
effect on body weight while others indicate it does not have any effect on it • Coenzyme Q10: Studies on animals indicate that coenzyme Q10 inhibits
adipogenesis, induces body weight loss and decreases the development of
cardiovascular diseases.
• Carnosine: Limited studies indicate that carnosine regulates glucose
homeostasis in both humans and animals. |
