Protocol summary

Study aim
Assessing the effect of dietary protein source (animal vs plant-based proteins) on metabolic responses, appetite, and arterial stiffness indexes during the postprandial phase in overweight and obese men
Design
Randomized crossover clinical trial, with two intervention groups, on 46 overweight and obese men. Randomization will be done using a random number table.
Settings and conduct
Interventions include two protein-based meals with different protein sources (animal and plant-based proteins). Each subject will complete two interventions on 2 different days with a washout period of one week between trials. On the test day, indirect calorimetry, Pulse Wave Velocity, subjective appetite, and venous blood will be measured in fasting state. After consuming test meals, the mentioned measurements will be done during 6 hours. This study will be conducted at Imam Reza Hospital of Mashhad, located in the northeast of Iran.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
The Inclusion criteria are apparently healthy men between the age of 18 and 60 years old, BMI between 25 and 35 kg/m2. The exclusion criteria are professional athletes, being a current smoker, use of medications or supplements affecting energy and protein metabolism, appetite, and more than 10% change in body weight within the past 6 months.
Intervention groups
The two protein-based breakfast meals with different protein sources (animal or plant-based proteins. The test meals consist of 30% protein, 40% carbohydrate, and 30% fat. Each subject will complete two interventions with a one-week washout period between trials.
Main outcome variables
Thermic effect of the test meals, resting measurements of energy expenditure and substrate, appetite response, lipid profile, insulin, and blood glucose, as well as arterial stiffness indices, including pulse wave velocity and augmentation index.

Randomization description
As the present study is a crossover study, all of the two study groups will receive both interventions. In the present study, only the intervention initiation meal will be randomized. Participants will be randomly allocated to animal or plant-based protein groups based on a 1:1 ratio (simple randomization). The randomization will be performed using a random number table. A random sequence will be provided and included in envelopes by someone who is not a member of the research team. Each participant will randomly choose an envelope to be allocated to one of the two test meal groups. As participants will consume both the protein meals, allocation concealment will not be done.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: This group will receive an animal-based protein test meal. The test meal will provide 25% of the calculated total energy requirements and will consist of 30% protein (from animal sources), 40% carbohydrate, and 30% fat. This test meal consists of white bread, potatoes, sunflower oil, and egg, chicken, or yogurt (as the protein sources). The test meals will be prepared in the Nutrition Department kitchen at the Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran. Chemical analysis will be performed on a sample of test meals to determine their macronutrient composition and amino acid profile.
