Dietary macronutrient composition and exogenous neuropeptide Y affect feed intake in brioler chicks
… the effects of macronutrient composition of diets on NPY function have not been elucidated in non-mammalian species. This research investigates how food intake is affected by dietary macronutrient composition in broiler type chickens that are fed three varying macronutrient diets: high …

Ghrelin: The Hunger Hormone that Isn't
… become obese and hyperinsulinemic in response to high fat feeding. To investigate why ghrelin seems to be sufficient but not necessary for hunger, we injected increasing doses of ghrelin and measured both food intake and the resulting plasma concentration. We found that the threshold dose for an …

The Maladaptive Response of Adipose Tissue to High Fat Diet Feeding
The ability of organisms, from yeast to humans, to safely store energy as dense hydrophobic carbon chains secured away in lipid droplets represents an incredible evolutionary advantage. The further use of adipocytes as a professional lipid storage cells emphasizes the importance and benefit of safe …

The Interaction of Obesity and Age and their effect on Adipose Tissue Metabolism in the Mouse
… through genetic modification (ob/ob genotype), diet (high-fat diet) or a combination of the two across the life course. Specifically, I demonstrated that the changes in triglyceride metabolism that dominate the overall lipid composition of white adipose tissue were distinct from the …

Modulation of bio-behaviors and diabesity by dietary factors
… bio-behaviors, and neuro-immune function by a high fat diet. C57BL/6J male mice were fed a 60% fat diet (high fat diet; HFD) or a 10% fat (low fat diet; LFD) for 1 or 3 weeks post-weaning, after which mice were subjected to behavioral testing. HFD-fed mice had increased anxietal-like and reward …

Palmitic Acid Activation of Dendritic Cells: Implications for Type 2 Diabetes
… adipose tissue, dendritic cells are exposed to high levels of saturated fatty acids. Increased saturated fatty acid levels derived from high fat diets are strongly associated with chronic adipose tissue inflammation. Palmitic acid, the most abundant of saturated fatty acids, is pro-inflammatory …

Epigenetic regulation of genes related to lipid metabolism by microrna in mice fed high fat diet
High fat diet impacts lipid metabolism by altering the transportation, oxidation, and storage of fatty acids. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) plays a critical role in lipid metabolism by catalyzing triglyceride hydrolysis and lipoprotein uptake in multiple tissues. A previous study reported that miR-29b …

Do Probiotics Protect Against the Deleterious Effects of a High-Fat Diet?
High-fat diets and obesity have been linked to unfavorable changes in gut bacteria and increased leakage of bacterially-derived lipopolysaccharide (endotoxin) from the intestinal tract into circulation, which is associated with low-grade inflammation, metabolic dysregulation and degradation of …

Changes of breast cancer growth and metastasis in murine models modulated by an aromatase inhibitor, a low calcium diet or a high fat diet
… following project, the effects of a Low Calcium Diet (LCD) on BC metastases from bone to lungs, and its effects on the bone microenvironment in mice inoculated with murine 4T1 cells were studied. Bioluminescence imaging and India ink staining were used to evaluate tumor metastasis to the lungs. …
