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 …

Low-fat diet vs. education support in the treatment of late luteal phase dysphoric disorder
… outcome study was conducted comparing a low-fat diet intervention with an education-support group and a waiting-list control group in the treatment of premenstrual tension syndrome (PMS) or Late Luteal Phase Dysphoric Disorder (LLPDD). Subjects met provisional diagnostic criteria for …

The effects of a high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet versus a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet on dancer's performance
… this study was to compare a high-carbohydrate, low-fat (HCLF) diet versus a low-carbohydrate, high-fat (LCHF) diet on performance in dancers. Methodology. In a cross-over design, dancers consumed a HCLF and a LCHF diet for approximately one month. A Perceived Fatigue Assessment, dual energy …

Reduced adipose tissue hypoxia as a potential mechanism by which exercise and/or low fat diet reduces inflammation in obese mice
… evidence from our lab suggests that, in high fat diet-induced (HFD, 45% fat) obese mice, moderate exercise, low fat diet (LFD, 10% fat), or their combination results in significant reductions in the visceral adipose tissue inflammation. Adipose tissue hypoxia, perhaps involving cell stress or …

Novel studies of fat and nutrient intakes and the risk of human cancers
… was compared in post-menopausal women following a low-fat diet or a low-fat diet supplemented with 3% of energy from omega-3 fatty acids; the latter diet significantly increased <italic>in vivo</italic> lipid peroxidation. In the second study, a urinary biomarker of indole-3-carbinol …

Implementing and evaluating a weight reduction program for diabetic patients at a primary health care facility in the Western Cape
… 45-60% of the total nutritional intake and that low carbohydrate or high protein diets offer no long term success over healthy eating plans. Recent studies suggest that there may be merit in using low carbohydrate diets in diabetic patients. Aim and Objectives: The study aimed to implement and …

Comparison of moderate-and low-fat reduced energy diets on weight loss and body composition in post-menopausal women with android obesity
… this study was to determine if manipulation of fat content of a 1200 kcal weight reduction diet had an effect on total weight loss and fat distribution as measured by body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR). Twenty-eight abdominally obese, postmenopausal females consumed either a 1200 …

The Influence of Low Dietary Fat Intake on Incidence and Severity of Migraine Headache
… levels of blood lipids and high levels of free fatty acids. Under these conditions platelet aggregability is increased, which is associated with decreases in serotonin and heightened prostaglandins levels. These conditions may produce vasodilation, the most immediate precursor to migraine …

Individual and combined effects of exercise training and dietary fat on myocardial triglycerides in obese mice
… Epicardial adipose tissue is a type of visceral fat located on the exterior of the heart. Recent evidence suggests an association between atherosclerosis, epicardial fat, and hepatic triglyceride deposition. PURPOSE -The purpose of this study was to determine the individual and combined effects …

Dietary, Genetic and Metabolic Determinants of Serum Adiponectin
… to risk factors for the metabolic syndrome, and dietary influences on its production are reviewed. The thesis examines the hypothesis that the amount and type of fatty acids in the diet affect serum adiponectin concentrations. The effects of ADIPOQ gene locus on serum adiponectin concentrations …

Oligomeric cocoa procyanidins possess enhanced bioactivity compared to monomeric and polymeric cocoa procyanidins for preventing the development of obesity, insulin resistance, and impaired glucose tolerance during high-fat feeding
… The objective of this study was to evaluate the dietary effects of cocoa flavanols on the onset of obesity, insulin resistance and impaired glucose tolerance and to determine the impact that the size of these compounds has on the magnitude of this effect. Cocoa extract was fractionated into a …

Metabolic Mechanisms of Nutritionally Regulated Hormone Signaling on T Helper Cell Function
… mice and littermate controls were placed on low-fat diet or high-fat diet to induce obesity for 18 weeks. Weight gain, serum glucose levels, systemic glucose tolerance, T cell metabolism, and T cell differentiation and cytokine production were examined. In both male and female mice, T …

Diet, Adiposity, and Advanced Glycation Endproducts
… (sRAGE) and to determine whether macronutrient diet composition impacts inflammation and levels of serum n-epsilon-carboxymethyl-lysine (CML), a measure of advanced glycation endproducts. In study I, we tested the hypothesis that sRAGE is correlated to adiposity in a young, ethnically-diverse …

Loss of Ventromedial Hypothalamic Leptin Receptors Results in Increased Adiposity and a Metabolic Syndrome
… several decades. The discovery that mice fed a low fat diet exhibit significantly increased adipose mass with no difference in weight compared to wild-type littermates. Further, these mice exhibit a metabolic syndrome including mild steatosis, dyslipidemia, and hyperleptinemia. From a young age, …

The Effects of Lowering Cholesterol on Vasodilation
… research was to determine whether short term lowering of serum cholesterol levels by life style changes or by cholesterol lowering medication could reverse or reduce the endothelial dysfunction. The brachial artery diameter was measured by high-resolution ultrasound at rest and during reactive …

The identification and characterization of two murine genes regulated by the level of dietary fat
… have investigated the influence of the level of dietary fat on hepatic stearoyl CoA desaturase 1 (Scd1) and Low Fat Mammary 1 (Lfm1) expression and describe the structural organization of the Lfm1 gene. Scd1 and Lfm1 were isolated from a cDNA library constructed from mammary gland tissue of …

The bHLH/PAS Transcription Factor SIM1 Is a Novel Obesity Gene
… for a Sim1 null allele fed a standard chow diet (4% fat) developed obesity around the time of sexual maturity, were 33-45% heavier than wild-type littermates by 5 months of age, and had increased adiposity by DEXA scans. In contrast, the human subject developed obesity by two years of age, …

Voluntary exercise in the C57B1/6J mouse: phenotypic effects of varying dietary fat levels and hippocampal gene expression differences between high-level and low-level exercisers
… such as motivation and the perception of fatigue. Reproducible variations in exercise intensity and duration are well established in laboratory rodents, but the genes responsible remain largely unknown. Also, to date, studies addressing the adaptive changes to exercise that might prevent …

Different dietary approaches for the treatment of obesity and the phenotypic responses to these diets.
… is developed and for this to be successful other diet and lifestyle approaches need to be considered. A systematic review comparing low carbohydrate vs. low fat diets for the treatment of obesity was carried out. It found that low carbohydrate/high protein diets are as effective as, if not better, …
