Studies examining the effects of low-protein diets on food intake and body weight have shown varied results. Many researchers have found low dietary protein to increase food intake, while others have found no effect or even a decrease. In 63 male Sprague-Dawley rats, we examined several low levels of dietary protein (2%, 5%, 8%, 10%, 15% vs. 20% casein) to determine the dose-response relationships between low dietary protein and food intake, body composition, energy balance and serum leptin concentrations. Food intake, over the range of low dietary protein, showed a quasi bell-shaped response curve with peak intake occurring in rats fed 8-10% casein. Peak feeding occurred at or just below the estimated protein requirement of the rats (10-12.5% casein). Compared to the 20% casein controls, food intake was severely reduced in rats fed 2% casein, while it was greater in the other low-protein groups. The amount of body fat steadily increased between the 15% casein group and the 8% casein group, and sharply declined between the 5% casein group and 2% casein group. The change in body fat reflected both the change in food intake and altered energy partitioning. Serum leptin concentrations were greater in rats fed the 5 and 8% casein diets than in control rats fed 20% casein, Serum leptin concentrations were positively associated with body fat content (r(2) = 0.763, P < 0.001). Increased serum leptin concentrations in the presence of increased food intake is suggestive of a state of leptin resistance. This animal model may provide important insights into diet-induced obesity.
