The Claim
Daily consumption of soy or lupin protein for five weeks in adolescent boys with overweight or obesity is associated with reduced serum levels of the inflammatory markers PAI-1 and visfatin.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In adolescent boys with overweight or obesity, consuming soy or lupin protein daily for five weeks is linked to lower levels of the inflammatory proteins PAI-1 and visfatin in the blood.
See the scientific wording
Daily consumption of soy or lupin protein for five weeks in adolescent boys with overweight or obesity is associated with reduced serum levels of the inflammatory markers PAI-1 and visfatin, suggesting a potential anti-inflammatory effect.
Eating soy or lupin protein feeds good gut bacteria that make butyrate, a compound that tightens the gut lining. This prevents harmful bacterial toxins from leaking into the blood. Less toxin in the blood means less activation of inflammation in fat tissue, which causes lower levels of PAI-1 and visfatin.
What the research says
1 studyThe study gave overweight teen boys soy or lupin protein drinks every day for five weeks and found that two harmful inflammatory proteins in their blood went down. So yes, these drinks helped lower inflammation.
