The effects of light versus moderate exercise added to diet control in a weight reduction program for overweight college women
… All women were tested for VO₂peak and percent fat. The DC included a previously designed nutrition education and behavior modification program held one time per week which prescribed a caloric intake based on body weight to result in a 1000 kcal•day⁻¹ dietary deficit. Exercise groups were asked …

Differential BCAA Metabolism in Tissues of Tumor-Bearing Mice: A Path to Understanding Cancer Cachexia
… is a complex syndrome marked by muscle and fat loss, often resistant to nutritional support. While branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) stimulate muscle protein synthesis, BCAA-targeted therapies have shown inconsistent results. In this study, a C26 colon cancer mouse model was used to examine …

Exercise and nutrition induced weight loss for prostate cancer patients
… nutrition interventions can be used to induce fat loss, while preserving or improving lean mass. Study 1 (Chapter 4) is an examination of the efficacy of a weight loss program in altering body composition in overweight and obese prostate cancer patients scheduled for a robot assisted radical …

The role of Arginyltransferase 1 in body weight homeostasis
… 1 (ATE1) in mice results in dramatic fat loss and resistance to diet-induced obesity. However, the mechanisms through which ATE1 influence energy metabolism remain unclear. Here, we investigated the hypothalamic role of ATE1 by examining the effects of the anorectic hormone leptin in …

Lessons from a rare disease
… discolored skin, stunted growth, visible veins, fat loss, hair loss, bone loss, joint contractures, and heart disease. Their average life expectancy is thirteen. There is currently no treatment or cure. The disease arises from a single nucleotide mutation in the LMNA gene, which makes proteins …

Growth, carcass composition, and plasma growth hormone levels in cyclically fed rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss microform
… specific growth rates, protein levels and lower fat content than fish that were fed daily. The condition factor, which is an index of the fatness or leanness of a fish, was slightly lower than that of the control groups at the end of the experiment as a leaner fish was produced. The response to …

The metabolic responses of high intensity intermittent exercise in healthy untrained adults
… training (HIIT) has been shown to increase fat loss more effectively than continuous moderate intensity training (Tremblay et al., 1994; Trapp et al., 2008; Macpherson et al., 2011; Gremeaux et al., 2012), which is optimal for fat oxidation rates and was once considered the best exercise …

Effects of dietary stimulators of metabolism and mitochondrial biogenesis in vitro and in vivo: Implications for metabolic disease
… dietary products advertised to promote weight loss are an under researched but heavily purchased commodity in the United States. Despite only limited evidence, interest in dietary supplements continues to increase. Obesity is an increasingly prevalent and preventable morbidity with multiple …

The Effects of Interval Training and Modest Calorie Restriction in the Treatment of Obesity
… exercise resulted in a 7% decrease in body fat percent (%BF) and a 9% decrease in fat mass (FM) (p<0.05). There was no difference in the change in %BF or FM for either group. There were no changes in fat free mass (FFM) over the treatment or between groups. Waist circumference decreased 2.8% …

Mechanism of action of a tumour derived lipid mobilising factor
… comprises unintentional and debilitating weight loss associated with certain tumour types. Fat loss in cachexia is mediated by a 43kDa Lipid Mobilising Factor (LMF) sharing homology with endogenous Zinc-α2-Glycoprotein (ZAG). LMF and ZAG induced significant lipolysis in isolated epidydimal …

Body composition changes resulting from participation in a high protein-very low calorie diet program at two levels of caloric intake
… (deuterium dilution) were performed. Percent fat was calculated from body density with adjustments for variability in the body water and mineral content. Measures were made at four-week intervals during the twelve week diet period. There was a significant decrease in body weight, body mass …

EVIDENCE SUPPORTING THE UTILITY OF BLOOD CELL RESPIRATORY CAPACITY AS A SYSTEMIC MARKER OF MITOCHONDRIAL HEALTH AND BIOLOGICAL AGE
… in response to resistance training and weight loss in obese older adults. Because weight loss is known to reduce resting metabolic rate, this may indicate that blood cell respiration tracks with systemic metabolic demand. Fat mass loss correlated with greater reduction of maximal PBMC …

Influence of Exercise Modality on Body Composition, Insulin Resistance and Functional Fitness in Aging: A Randomized Controlled Trial
… reduced total abdominal and visceral fat (P<0.05) and waist circumference (P<0.001), which measure explained 30% of the variance in total abdominal fat changes (P<0.001). AE and RAE improved insulin sensitivity (P<0.05), but the RE group did not (P>0.1). The greatest insulin …

Fatty Acid Fate In Determining Oxidation And Inflammation In Adipose Tissue
… through its ability to store or oxidize free fatty acids (FFAs). White adipose tissue (WAT) functions as an anabolic organ to sequester and release FAs, in contrast brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a catabolic organ that oxidizes FAs. However, a comprehensive understanding of the role that FFAs …

Effects of voluntary wheel running and forced treadmill running on inflammation induced behavioral abnormalities in young and old mice
… expected adaptations including body weight loss, fat loss, and improved forced exercise tolerance. However, voluntary wheel running did not protect against LPS-induced sickness behavior, depressive-like behavior, or whole brain proinflammatory cytokine and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase gene …

The role of supplementary calcium in submaximal exercise and endurance performance.
… between increased calcium intake and decreased fat and total body mass in healthy people (McCarron et al. 1984, Davies et al., 2000). An in-vitro model suggesting the role of cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (cAMP) and phosphodiesterase 3B (PDE 3B) has been implicated in the relationship between …

Characterization of coconut oil and CLA induced lipolysis
… in obesity in several species. CLAinduced body fat loss is enhanced when mice are fed coconut oil (CO). The objectives were to determine if the CLA-induced lipolysis in different oil source-fed mice was time-dependent and to determine the effect of cell signaling inhibitors on CO+CLA-induced …

The Effect of Cancer Cachexia Progression on the Feeding Regulation of Skeletal Muscle Protein Turnover
… cachexia is defined as the unintentional loss of skeletal muscle mass with or without fat loss that cannot be reversed by conventional nutritional support. Cachexia occurs in ~20% of cancer patients. More specifically, 50% of lung cancer patients, the most common cancer worldwide, develop …

Dual X-Ray Absorptiometry May Not Be Sensitive Enough To Measure Changes In Regional Fat After Acute Exercise
… measurable changes in total and regional body fat using Dual X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA). There is limited research about the change in body fat after an acute bout of physical activity. Knowing how body composition changes as a result of exercise is important for populations with symptoms of …
