more muscle, less body fat with buckwheat
Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 1999 Jul; 63(7): 1242-5.
Muscle hypertrophy in rats fed on a buckwheat protein extract. Growing rats were examined for the influence of a buckwheat protein diet on muscle weight and protein. In experiment 1, the rats were fed on a diet containing either casein or a buckwheat protein extract (BWPE) as the protein source (10%, 20% or 30%) for 5 wk. The relative weights (g per kg of body wt) of the gastrocnemius, plantaris and soleus muscles were higher in the BWPE-fed animals than in the casein-fed ones, but were unaffected by the dietary level of protein. These differences were not associated with growth. In experiment 2, the rats were fed on either a casein or BWPE diet at the 20% protein level for 5 wk. BWPE intake significantly elevated the gastrocnemius muscle weight, carcass protein and water, and reduced carcass fat. These results demonstrate that BWPE consumption causes muscle hypertrophy, elevates carcass protein and water, and reduces body fat. |

OK so all us rats here will start buying buckwheat protein extract. Doug Skrecky wrote: Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 1999 Jul; 63(7): 1242-5. Muscle hypertrophy in rats fed on a buckwheat protein extract. |

Muscle hypertrophy in rats fed on a buckwheat protein extract. Hi Doug and patricia, The papers below give a pretty good picture of the promise and progress of Buckwheat. The former is potentially important, the latter is unacceptably slow, at least to me. Read the titles below backwards starting in '95 to the present and it can be seen that they have retrogressed from a promising human study to rodent and petri dish work which seems designed to provide a life time of grant renewals rather than a benefit for the taxpayes who funded the work. IMO the '95 study should have been continued and expanded and most of the others should have been done in humans, or at the very least the extract should have be proven of dubious safety by now. With any luck at all and with no increase in funding we could have had a fully tested product on the shelves by now with well known benefits and the info necessary to make informed choices for both the food and the supplement. The main reason for my rant is not the mediocracy of the buckwheat investigators, but the more ominous fact that this picture is a very good microcosm of medical research in general, at least as far as the public sector is concerned world wide. Many substances have now been studied for over 50 yrs at a cost of tens and even humdreds of millions of dollars without a conclusion in sight. This is just not good enough by a factor of 3 or more IMO. It seems as if grants are handed out more on the basis of laboratory seniority than medical merit. Run the simple search string vitamin C at pubmed and check the first page. How many of the studies would you pay for? If you think we need to know the effect of vitamin x on blood pressure in young ob/ob mice when we already know it humans, reread the paragraph. This approach is not working!
