Background & aims Protein content of a meal is hypothesized to drive DIT dose-
dependently. However, no single meal study exists comparing two different doses of protein
on DIT. In addition, the source of protein, particularly whey protein, was shown to have a
higher DIT than casein and soy in the acute setting, however the mechanism behind this
difference is not yet clear. The aim of the present work is therefore to evaluate the efficacy of
two different doses and types of protein (whey protein and casein) on DIT in overweight …
