The Claim
In rats with diet-induced insulin resistance and steatohepatitis, administration of lupin protein isolate reduces the severity of liver inflammation and fibrosis, with three out of five treated rats showing improvement from grade III to grade I or II steatohepatitis, while all untreated rats remained at grade III.
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 rats with fatty liver disease caused by diet, lupin protein isolate lowered liver inflammation and scarring, with three of five treated rats improving from severe to mild disease, while all untreated rats remained severely affected.
See the scientific wording
In rats with diet-induced insulin resistance and steatohepatitis, lupin protein isolate reduces the severity of liver inflammation and fibrosis, with three out of five treated rats showing improvement from grade III to grade I or II steatohepatitis, while all untreated rats remained at grade III.
Lupin protein isolate lowers the production of new fat in the liver, which reduces fat buildup and inflammation. It also increases the liver's ability to store sugar as glycogen, which lowers blood sugar and improves how the body responds to insulin. Together, these changes reduce liver damage and reverse advanced liver disease.
What the research says
1 studyIn rats with severe fatty liver disease from a high-fat diet, giving them lupin protein helped most of them get better, while rats that didn’t get it stayed just as sick. So yes, lupin protein helped heal their livers.
