  Low-carb diets also tend to be higher in protein, which can abate feelings of hunger. [examine.com]

  This balance was also shown to be important in how this hormone helps to mediate protein hunger. [asianscientist.com]

  "While a low protein, high carb diet is likely to have beneficial effects later in life, it did increase hunger and the chance of weight gain," Professor Simpson said. [abc.net.au]

  The LFHC diet we used may be an useful tool in the management of hypertriglyceridemia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Previous studies have demonstrated that a high-CHO diet could increase fasting serum TG concentrations (11,12), leading to hypertriglyceridemia, a risk factor of CVD (13). [scielo.br]

Eighteen patients were separated into two groups on the basis of hypoglycemic treatment (diet, n = 9, or diet plus glibenclamide, n = 9) and were assigned to a 15-day treatment with a high-carbohydrate/low-fiber diet containing 60% energy from carbohydrate [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
