Abstract
In this chapter, the authors relay available scientific information regarding the role of soy peptides or soy hydrolysates on weight management. Proposed mechanisms include (a) regulation of satiety and food intake; (b) decrease lipid absorption and modulation of lipid metabolism; (c) increased thermogenesis and energy expenditure; and (d) inhibition of adipogenesis. Although there is not enough clinical information to claim a clear benefit of soy peptides on obesity, there is evidence to suggest that some soy peptides may have a future as regulators of adiposity and satiety. These two properties may have an impact on weight management.
