A few years back, we experimentally evolved a poorly growth-promoting strain of
#Lplantarum
and isolated strains with enhanced benefit in insects We then asked: how far can these benefits be optimized? Do they persist in well-fed mammals? 🦠🐭 Find out in our new paper now online! Thread 👇

More protein in ultra-processed foods: no shortcut to eating less
Nature Metabolism, Published online: 13 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s42255-025-01258-1Short-term intake of protein-enriched ultra-processed foods (UPFs) increased energy expenditure and lowered energy intake compared to UPFs with normal protein content and similar palatability. However, it did not prevent overeating.
