This study was conducted on mice that ate high-fat diets. The mice were divided into two groups, the first group was given water with high levels of sweet potato peptide protein and the other was given water with low levels of sweet potato peptide protein..

After conducting several different tests on mice, Japanese scientists discovered about a month later that mice that consumed water containing high levels of sweet potato peptide protein decreased their weight

According to their findings, the experimental mice that were given water containing high levels of sweet potato peptide protein had a reduced appetite, which prevented them from eating more, in addition, their metabolism was much faster and triglyceride and cholesterol levels were much lower than mice that were given water containing low levels of sweet potato peptide protein. The Japanese scientists who conducted the study said that the reason for this was an increase in the amounts of leptin and adiponectin, hormones that regulate satiety and metabolic rate.

Finally, the scientists involved in the study said that the results are very promising and may be useful for people struggling to get rid of excess weight.
