The analysis of the results showed that the mice
that received food with peanut paçoca had a lower
weight gain (g) when compared to the group that
underwent the SD. Thus, this research shows that
consumption of foods derived from peanuts often
with high content of dietary fibers and proteins or
by not being totally absorbed, due to the presence
of protease inhibitors and, still because of its high
level of unsaturated fatty acids, it increases energy
expenditure, could help to promote satiety and
reduced weight gain. In short, we wish that this study
may generate hypotheses and lead to more studies on
the effect of foods derived from peanuts in weight
control.
