The Claim
Daily consumption of soy or lupin protein for five weeks reduces serum levels of PAI-1 and visfatin in adolescent boys with overweight or obesity.
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 every day for five weeks lowers the blood levels of two inflammatory markers, PAI-1 and visfatin.
See the scientific wording
Daily consumption of soy or lupin protein for five weeks reduces serum levels of the inflammatory markers PAI-1 and visfatin in adolescent boys with overweight or obesity, suggesting a potential anti-inflammatory effect that may contribute to improved metabolic health.
When soy or lupin protein is eaten daily, gut bacteria break them down and make a chemical called butyrate. Butyrate tightens the gut lining, so fewer harmful bacterial parts leak into the blood. This stops those bacterial parts from triggering inflammation in fat tissue, which causes the body to stop making too much of two inflammatory proteins called PAI-1 and visfatin.
What the research says
1 studyThe study gave overweight teenage boys daily drinks with soy or lupin protein for five weeks and found that two inflammation-related proteins in their blood went down. This matches exactly what the claim says.
