Effects of Citrullus lanatus seed (Egusi) protein isolate on lipid peroxidation in malnourished rat fed on high fat diets
… many conditions often referred to as PEM. Due to high mortality rate among PEM children around the world, programs are aimed at improving the health and wellbeing of such vulnerable children. Animal proteins still remain the best source of good quality protein; however, those that are highly …

Preliminary investigations for studying the effects of low carbohydrate high fat diets on gluconeogenesis in type 2 diabetes patients
… there is growing interest in low carbohydrate high fat (LCHF) diets as a potential dietary strategy to improve glycaemic control, reduce T2D medication requirements, and improve body weight and lipid profiles. However, carbohydrate restriction is controversial. Results from observational …

Effect of High Fat Diets Containing No Cholesterol on the Properties of Rabbit Serum Lipoproteins and the Catabolism of Very Low Density Lipoproteins
… maintained on normal chow, a semisynthetic diet high in safflower oil (SAFF diet), and a semisynthetic diet high in hydrogenated coconut oil (COCO diet) for 9 weeks each.

Branched-Chain Amino Acid Metabolism in the Neonatal Pig
… the hypothesis that metabolic dysfunction from high fat diets precedes dysfunctional BCAA metabolism. First, BCAA were supplemented to neonatal pigs for 4 weeks to evaluate whether the anabolic signaling function of leucine could increase muscle growth when fed for a longer duration than in …

Feeding Value of High Starch and High Fat Rations for Dairy Calves
… to evaluate growth performance when fed control, high starch, and high fat pelleted diets separately or with a supplemental concentrate mix offered the first 6 wk. High starch and high fat diets were formulated to .contain more digestible energy than the control diet. Calves received milk the …

The roles of diet and SirT3 levels in mediating signaling network changes in insulin resistance
… research is to understand the mechanism by which high fat diets mediate insulin sensitivity and the role SirT3 plays in high fat diet-induced insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is defined as the inability of cells and tissues to respond properly to ordinary amounts of insulin and is a …

Management and Nutritional Approaches to Reducing Glycolytic Potential and Stress Responses in Pigs
High muscle glycolytic potential (GP) and blood acidosis induced by handling can result in losses of pigs during the pre-slaughter handling and in production of low quality pork. Studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of management and nutrition on muscle GP, blood responses to handling, …

Skeletal Muscle Adaption to 5 days of High-Fat Feeding in Humans
Skeletal muscle is highly involved in macronutrient metabolism. To maintain proper energy metabolism and physiology, skeletal muscle must adapt to nutrient supply. Thus, diet macronutrient composition is an important modulator of skeletal muscle metabolism. Evidence from rodent and human models …

Lactational, metabolic, and physiological effects of dietary fats and isoacids on early lactating first-calf Holstein heifers
… determine lactational and metabolic responses to high fat diets and isoacids. All heifers were allowed ad libitum consumption of a control diet for the first 2 weeks of lactation and then offered experimental diets Eor the next 4 weeks. Each 6 cows of twenty four were randomly assigned to 1) a …

Effects of a time-restricted high- or low-fat diet on lipid absorption
Background: Chronic high-fat diets and time-restricted feeding have been shown to impact multiple cardiometabolic parameters. The purpose of this work was to investigate the effects of timed macronutrient intake on lipid absorption. Methods: Adult male FVB/N mice were randomly assigned to one of 6 …

Carbohydrate loading and its effect on ECG responses
… This consisted of a succession of mixed, high-fat and highCHO diets for at least 72 hours each. Subjects ran to exhaustion after each diet stage. Mean times to exhaustion were 61, 63 and 95 minutes for the mixed, high-fat, and high-CHO diets, respectively. Since questions have been raised …

Effect of Delta-Tocotrienol and Grape Seed Polyphenol on Lipid Profile in C57BL/6J Mice with a Western-Like Diet-Included Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis
… in liver disease, occurs when adults consume high calorie, high fat diets. Fat accumulated in the liver causes inflammation and irreversible hardening. Grape seed polyphenol (GSP) and d-tocotrienol (d-T3) may have benefits in reducing NASH. We observed the effects of dietary GSP & d-T3 …

A factor analytic-genetic approach to the relationship between morphology and behavior in mice
… heterogeneous mice were reared on either high or low fat diets for the first forty days of life. The mice were cross fostered to permit the separation of genetic and environmental effects in a sibling analysis. A total of 26 measures were taken on these mice, before and after 40 days of …

The effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and high fat diet on metabolism, reproductive health & prostate cancer progression
… materials, and firefighting foams. Due to highly fluorinated carbon chains ranging in length, PFAS are resistant to decomposition, and have increased longevity in media, such as soil, water, dust, and air. Because of increased stability in the environment, many communities in the US are …

The effects of dietary lipids on the fatty acid composition of tissue and membrane fractions of spontaneous mammary adenocarcinomas and mammary glands of Strong strain A mice
The fatty acid composition of whole tissue and plasma membrane fractions of mammary adenocarcinomas and normal mammary glands excised from Strong A female mice fed a 15% safflower oil and 15% tallow diets were studied. Previous work has indicated that high fat diets in general and high unsaturated …

More than the sum of parts: deconstructing tissues in their spatial, temporal, and environmental contexts
… I studied similar themes in adaptations to high-fat diets, discovering tradeoffs where individual liver cells promote their own survival at the expense of reduced tissue function and increased cancer risk. Through these studies, I dissected tissues and diseases with unprecedented resolution …

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 …

Characterizing the role of dietary fat in the development and progression of liver dysfunction
… the potential contribution of dietary fat and fatty acids as a therapeutic supplement to obesogenic diets. Specifically, flaxseed is high in α-linolenic acid (ALA; 18:3 n-3) and low in linoleic acid (LA; 18:2 n-6), and contains multiple other components such as fiber and lignans, and …

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 …

Hepatic Lipid metabolism in Neonatal Pigs
Medium chain-fatty acids (MCFA) are a group of fatty acids containing hydrocarbon chains between 6-12 carbons. They are rapidly absorbed and taken up by cells which has led to their incorporation into neonatal formulas as an alternative source of energy. While abundant literature is available on …
