Intermittent Protein Diets Alter Hepatic Lipid Accumulation by Changing Tryptophan Metabolism in a Fast-Response Manner.

In modern life, the fluctuation of dietary protein levels is common, in particular, for low-income populations. However, its effect on human health is little known. Alternating changes of low and high casein or pork protein were used to simulate the fluctuation of dietary protein content in mice. Hepatic lipid accumulation showed a fast response to alternating changes of low- and high-protein diets. Correspondingly, some gut microbiota and tryptophan metabolite composition also showed a fast response to dietary protein changes. The fast response of 3-hydroxykynurenine (3-HK) was proven to inhibit hepatic lipid accumulation in vitro. Therefore, intermittent protein diets modulated hepatic lipid accumulation through 3-HK. These findings highlighted the sensitivity of hepatic lipid accumulation to dietary protein levels.
