Dietary broccoli impedes Western diet-enhanced fatty liver and hepatocellular carcinoma development
… between carbohydrate and fat metabolism. The “Westernized” dietary pattern, which is known for high saturated fat and refined sugar and rooted in the lifestyle of a large proportion of the world’s population, may greatly disrupt energy balance, resulting in obesity and obesity-related diseases. …

Mechanisms of Western-Diet Induced Endothelial Stiffening: Endothelial CD36 and Long-Chain Fatty Acids
Western diet (WD) refers to a diet high in saturated fat and refined carbohydrates. WD is known to be detrimental to cardiovascular health. These studies present novel insights into the mechanism undergirding WD-associated cardiovascular dysfunction: stiffening (an increase in the elastic modulus) …

FADS2 expression modulates effect of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids on western diet-induced glucose intolerance
… that abundant LA found in the modern western diet will be converted to AA promoting an inflammatory phenotype. The present study is to determine the interaction of heterozygous knockout (HET) or transgenic overexpression (TG) of FADS2 in mice fed high fat diets (HFD), as well as the …

Regulation von oxidativem Stress durch biomechanische Kräfte und fettreiche Ernährung im Herz-Kreislaufsystem
… 10 Wochen lang mit einer fettreichen Diät (Western diet) gefüttert und anschließend der Einfluss dieser Fütterung auf die NAD(P)H-Oxidase-Expression und ROS-Bildung analysiert. In der Aorta thoracalis beider Mausstämme zeigte sich durch das fettreiche Futter ein signifikanter Anstieg der …

The Role of Adipose-Specific Free Fatty Acid Receptor 2 in Obesity and Associated Metabolic Dysfunction
… under normal chow and high-fat, high-sugar Western diet conditions, both with and without dietary fiber supplementation. We found that adiposespecific FFA2 deletion had minimal metabolic consequences under standard dietary conditions but significantly reduced body weight and adiposity when …

Role of Macrophage Apoptosis in Atherosclerosis.
… weeks later, the mice were challenged with a Western diet for 10 weeks. No differences were found in the plasma cholesterol level between the WT and Bax-/- group. However, quantitation of cross sections from proximal aortas revealed a 49.2% increase (P=0.0259) in the mean lesion area of the …

Prenatal exposure to di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate and high-fat diet synergistically disrupts mouse fetal oogenesis and affects folliculogenesis
… high in fat content, regularly found in the western diet, are potential disruptors of fetal ovarian function. Due to DEHP’s high lipophilicity, high-fat foods can be easily contaminated with DEHP. Therefore, exposure to DEHP and a high-fat diet are both health concerns, especially in pregnant …

The determinants of adhering to rehabilitation in diabetics who have undergone lower limb amputation
… rapid increase in urbanisation and adoption of a western diet by the urbanised black population has been one of the main contributing factors. In contrast to this picture the socio-economic status of this population has remained relatively low and the high costs of long term management of CDLs …

Toward an Understanding of Interindividual Variation in Hydrogenotrophic Microbes in the Human Colon
… stool samples from NA, who were consuming a diet low in animal protein, versus AA and CA, with both cohorts consuming a typical Western diet, were used to examine the diversity of SRB and methanogenic microbes using PCR-based methods. Inferential and multivariate statistical analyses revealed …

The Metabolic Impact of the Gut-Liver Bile Acid Signaling in Metabolic and Inflammatory Liver Disease
… to facilitate the digestion and absorption of dietary fats and lipid soluble vitamins. Most bile acids in the intestine are re-absorbed in the terminal ileum and transported back to the liver via the portal circulation. Bile acids circulating in the enterohepatic circulation play important …

Metabolic changes to GLUT-4 levels in urban Chacma baboons on the Cape Peninsula: raiding their way to type 2 diabetes?
… adaptable species and humans. The modern Western diet that these baboons have become exposed to has many deleterious effects on health, including obesity and type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate whether this population of baboons have lowered GLUT-‐4 transporter …

Effects that Omega 3 and Omega 6 Dietary Ratios have on Cellular Stress in C. elegans
Our Western diet, which is deficient in omega-3 fatty acids and has excessive omega- 6 fatty acids, has been highly correlated with the central nervous system and metabolic disorders (Western diseases). However, it is unclear how dietetic omega fatty acids affect these disorders. In this study, I …
