Fat Intake, Diet Quality, Depressive Symptoms, and Cancer
Fats are important in the body for many physiological functions. Unsaturated fats,specifically omega-3 fatty acids, have been shown to have an anti-inflammatory effect inthe body (1). It has been shown that depression promotes chronic inflammation, and that altered omega-3 fatty acid status may be …

A rapid assessment for the fat intake of university students
… updated to adequately measure dietary intakes. Rapid Assessment Methodologies, or RAMs, are being developed to quickly measure specific nutrients. Although no perfect measure of an individual’s diet exists, diet records (DRs) are considered the most accurate assessment technique. The …

Impacts of maternal dietary fat intake on fetal development in an ovine model
… on offspring health and disease risk trajectory. Intake of dietary fatty acids has been a major focus in the biomedical and epidemiological literature given concerns about the adverse effects of excessive fat intake on cardiometabolic risk and the putative health benefits of supplementing specific …

Fat intake and characteristics of eating patterns in the diets of young men
Food and beverage intake was recorded for five days by 170 males having a mean age of 26 ± 8.1 years and living in·a university community. Differences in nutrient intake and in eating patterns between the subjects were examined in relation to the percentage of kilocalories fat intake contributed to …

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 …

Factors affecting weight loss maintenance
… revealed that less weight was regained as fat intake decreased and activity level increased. Correlation between fat intake and regain was statistical1y significant, with p = .003 and r2 = 0.301. Inverse correlation between activity level and regained weight was also significant (p=.005 and …

Modulation of Murine Intestinal Gene Expression by Dietary Fat: Spatial Variation and Saturation Effect
… approaches investigate the linear effect of high-fat over-consumption on transcriptomic data. However, many biological processes occur in a nonlinear fashion. The objective of this PhD thesis is to study the response types of dietary fat mediated differentially expressed genes (i.e., linear …
