Modulation of bio-behaviors and diabesity by dietary factors
… the mRNA expression of key cytokines and growth factors in the hippocampus, hypothalamus, and cortex did not show differences in the expression of IL-1 or IL-1 receptors after 1 week of diet feeding, but showed reduced expression of two key growth factors related to memory, brain-derived …

Environmental, Biochemical, and Dietary Factors that Influence Rumen Development in Dairy Calves
… weight, papillae area) and non-rumen factors (e.g., feed composition, form of feed, housing) to animal performance (e.g., intake of milk replacer (MR), starter, and forage; average daily gain (ADG); and feed efficiency). We looked at four different relationships to further investigate …

Response of intestinal Escherichia coli to dietary factors in the mouse intestine
… changes in microbiota composition after a dietary alteration. Due to the complexity of the commensal microbiota and the high inter-individual variability, little is known about the bacterial response at the cellular level. The objective of this work was to identify mechanisms that enable …

DIETARY FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROGRESSION OF AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE
Introduction: Dietary factors (sodium, protein, acid precursors, and fluid) have been observed to influence cyst growth in human and animal studies of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). However, no studies have been conducted to control such dietary constituents. Body mass index …

The regulation of brain serotonin concentrations by dietary factors affecting brain tryptophan
Daily rhythms occur in the concentrations of tryptophan in rat plasma and brain and of serotonin in rat brain. To determine whether these normally-occurring changes in plasma and brain tryptophan could account for the variation in brain serotonin, we injected rats with different doses of …

Interaction between dietary factors and genetic risk for lipoprotein traits and cardiovascular disease
… genetic variant of FADS1 and the intake of dietary fatty acids with respect to cholesterol concentrations and CVD risk. We also examined whether an overall genetic risk for dyslipidemia can be modified by diet quality and whether diet quality can increase the risk of dyslipidemia and CVD. We …

The interplay between genes and dietary factors in the aetiology of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
… Both genetic and the environmental risk factors are known to be involved. Healthy diets have been proven to reduce the risk of T2D in primary prevention trials, however, which components and exact mechanisms are involved is not fully understood, in particular, the role of macronutrient …

Relationship of dietary factors and physical activity to body fat in 3–5 year old children
… (1) examine associations between environmental factors and percent body fat (PBF), and (2) determine if air-displacement plethysmography (ADP) and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) were accurate methods for assessing body fat in children 3 to 5 years old as compared to deuterium dilution …

Sleep and Cardiometabolic Health in Adults: Contributions of Lifestyle and Dietary Factors, Objective vs. Subjective Sleep, and Change in Sleep Habits
… In summary, this work provides evidence that dietary and lifestyle factors lie on the causal pathway of several sleep and cardiometabolic health relationships, and thus explains their importance in cardiometabolic health. It also suggests adults perceive their sleep habits reasonably well, but …
