Thylakoid membranes from green plants affect appetite and promote body weight loss
The incidence of overweight and obesity has reached alarming proportions. Today, overweight, obesity and the metabolic diseases cause more death than starvation. To counteract an increasing body weight gain, regulation of appetite and a controlled food intake is of greatest importance. Simply put, …

The Influence of Quercetin, Curcumin, and Resistance Exercise On Anabolic Signaling In the Skeletal Muscle of Cachectic Mice
… Patients who develop cachexia have unintentional body weight loss, which can include loss of muscle with or without loss of fat mass. The loss of muscle mass and adipose tissue can affect muscle mobility and function and can ultimately decrease quality of life. Thus, it is becoming ever more …

Pathological and genetic analysis of host susceptibility to cardiovirulent coxsackievirus B3 infection in mice
… infected with CVB3. Differences in survival, body weight loss, quantification of myocarditis and quantification of sarcolemmal disruption were found by comparing three sets of mice sharing the same H-2 haplotype but not the same background. It was determined that host susceptibility to …

VERTICAL SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY IMPROVES GLUCOSE HOMEOSTASIS VIA [beta]- CELL GLUCAGON-LIKE PEPTIDE-1 RECEPTOR SIGNALING BUT PROMOTES COLITIS DEVELOPMENT IN MICE
… manipulation of the gut for the purpose of weight loss. Currently, it is the most effective long-term treatment for obesity and results in multiple cardiometabolic benefits. However, the mechanisms by which these benefits occur remain incompletely defined. In order to identify these …

Proteomic Characterization of Eggshell Membranes and Their Effect on Poultry Physiology and Immunity
… of eggshell membrane not only improved the body weight of chickens, but also modulated immunoglobulin parameters and stress levels. Further experiments were done to see the effect of ESM under endotoxin challenged conditions in which 5 week old chickens fed with ESM supplemented or control …

The effects of light versus moderate exercise added to diet control in a weight reduction program for overweight college women
Thirty-nine overweight college women were assigned to one of three weight reduction groups: diet control (DC), DC + low intensity exercise (LX), DC + moderate intensity exercise (MX). All women were tested for VO₂peak and percent fat. The DC included a previously designed nutrition education and …

Effects of Telephone Weight Loss Coaching on Body Composition in Adults: A Randomized Controlled Study
… is an effective method in promoting the loss of body weight and body fat percentage. Research Methods and Procedures: Over a period of four months, in a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study, 120 overweight and obese (BMI 25-35 kg/m²) adults either received telephone coaching …

Effects of voluntary wheel running and forced treadmill running on inflammation induced behavioral abnormalities in young and old mice
… system output, and behavior to regulate the body’s response to infection. One host factor affecting the behavioral response to infection is aging. Due to microglia priming and exacerbated neuroinflammation, aged individuals exhibit prolonged sickness behavior and depressive-like behavior …

Population biology and ecology and of Periplaneta americana (L.) in the urban environment
… cockroaches, and accounted for a 22% of dry body weight loss in females and 18% in males. Proteins accounted for approximately 10% of the dry body weight loss for overwintering females and males. Glycogen concentration per unit dry weight increased 11 % to 15% during the overwintering period. …

Evaluation of Heat Stress in Migrant Farmworkers
… workers in July, 2012, using measurements of body temperature, heart rates, body weight loss, evaluation of the thermal environment, and survey data. Using occupational safety criteria, these workers were found to work in an environment that should require protective measures to prevent heat …

Investigating the Potential of Microbial Metabolites and mTOR Signaling on Chicken Necrotic Enteritis
… is responsible for substantial economic loss annually. In the first chapter, we investigated the effect of secondary bile acid on necrotic enteritis. Day-old broiler chicks were randomly assigned to 5 groups of diets supplemented with 0 (basal diet), 0.8, 1.0, and 1.5 g/kg (on top of …

Nutritional implications of coprophagy and cecal function in two microtine rodents (Microtus pennsylvanicus and Microtus pinetorum)
… production, diet digestibility, energy intake, body weight dynamics, and reingestion frequency. The prevention of coprophagy lead to lower d!et digestibility and body weight loss as compared to controls, but did not reduce energy intake by pine or meadow voles. The deleterious effects of …

Investigating the potential anti-diabetic effect of sulforaphane
… is a result of chronic insulin resistance and loss of beta-cell mass and function. Both in experimental animals and people, obesity is a leading pathogenic factor for developing insulin resistance, which is always associated with the impairment in energy metabolism, causing increased …

Elucidation of Mechanisms of Host Immunity against Orientia tsutsugamushi in a Newly Developed Murine Model
… dpi, which correlated with the onset of illness, body weight loss, and increased bacterial loads. We further studied CD8-/-, MHC I-/- and wild type control (WT) C57BL/6J mice to determine the importance of CD8+ T cells and MHC I molecules. After infection with an ordinarily sub-lethal dose of O. …

The effects of vitamin A deficiency on the immune system in a murine model of systemic lupus erythematosus
… significant effect on preventing the MRL/l mice body weight loss due to the progression of SLE. Vitamin A deficiency also tended to suppress the abnormal enlargement of the thymus and spleen due to massive proliferation of abnormal T cells in MRL/l mice. The results of in vitro splenocyte …

Developmental signaling pathways in adult energy homeostasis
… shown similar pharmacological effects on whole body metabolism. Here, the importance of adaptive thermogenesis for the pharmacological action of FGF19 is explored. Using UCP1KO animals we show that whole-body thermogenesis is dispensable for body weight loss following FGF19 treatment. Finally, …

Local drug delivery for treatment of brain tumor associated edema
… in reducing edema but led to DXM induced weight loss at high doses in a pilot study. DXM, which is much less water-soluble than DSP, was used subsequently to reduce the dose delivered. The use of DXM enabled long-term, sustained zero-order release and a higher payload than DSP. Local …

Poultry Performance and Food Safety Impacts of Selected Organic Acids and Probiotics
… an organic acid product showed reductions in body weight loss during feed withdrawal and transportation, and meat quality improvement of broilers during commercial conditions. In the third study, organic acid mixtures were used in wash solutions for the reduction of spoilage and foodborne …
