Macronutrient-Flavonoid Interactions, Effects in Model Food Matrices
Macronutrient-flavonoid interactions have been well documented through the years. Chapter 1 of this document provides an introduction of the literature documenting the theoretical and mechanical framework of their importance in human health, biological interactions, macronutrient interaction, and …

Mathematical modeling of macronutrient signaling in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
In eukaryotes, distinct nutrient signals are integrated in order to produce robust cellular responses to fluctuations in the environment. This process of signal integration is attributed to the crosstalk between nutrient specific signaling pathways, as well as the large degree of overlap between …

Influence of metabolic syndrome information on macronutrient consumption decisions
… of metabolic syndrome components influenced macronutrient intake. Data from 2013-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were used for the study. The variables used were taken from modules of the NHANES dataset: demographic, dietary (day 1 and 2 recall), questionnaire …

The Effects of Macronutrient and Micronutrient Diet Manipulation on Human Insulin Sensitivity
Insulin resistance leading to diabetes is currently at pandemic levels. The associated costs to society and burden on health providers are incalculable. Aside from type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, it is now clear that insulin resistance (and resultant hyperinsulinism) is implicit with …

A role for HSC70 in regulating antigen trafficking and presentation during macronutrient deprivation
… by T lymphocytes. To examine the effect of macronutrient malnutrition on MHC class II antigen presentation, we grew B lymphocytes in media containing amino acids, sugars and vitamins but lacking serum, which contains several types of macronutrients. Our studies show macronutrient stress …

Dietary macronutrient composition and exogenous neuropeptide Y affect feed intake in brioler chicks
… of NPY in appetite regulation, the effects of macronutrient composition of diets on NPY function have not been elucidated in non-mammalian species. This research investigates how food intake is affected by dietary macronutrient composition in broiler type chickens that are fed three varying …

Macronutrient Intake, Growth Hormone-Releasing Factor and Somatostatin During Zinc Deficiency and Repletion in Rats
… series of experiments, we have characterized the macronutrient feeding patterns of zinc-deficient (Zn$-$) and zinc repleted rats in an effort to identify potential neural factors involved in zinc deficiency-induced anorexia and subsequent repletion. Sprague-Dawley outbred rats were provided three …

Nutritional Ecology of the Carpenter Ant Camponotus pennsylvanicus (De Geer): Macronutrient Preference and Particle Consumption
… (De Geer) was investigated by examining macronutrient preference and particle consumption in foraging workers. The crops of foragers collected in the field were analyzed for macronutrient content at two-week intervals through the active season. Choice tests were conducted at similar …

The Effects of Macronutrient Composition on Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Overweight and Obese Humans
… on the connection between oxidative stress, the macronutrient content of the diet, and inflammation in obesity is warranted. Regarding the effects of specific fats, epidemiological research shows that diets high in saturated fat (SFA) are associated with higher CVD risk while diets higher in …

The Effects of Macronutrient and Energy Availability on Metabolic Responses to Exercise: Implications for Training Adaptation
… thesis was to therefore assess the effects of macronutrient and energy availability on the regulation of molecular signalling pathways associated with mitochondrial biogenesis, lipid metabolism and muscle protein synthesis. A secondary aim was to also examine the acute effects of CHO and energy …

Effects of dietary macronutrient composition and exogenous neuropeptide Y on adipose tissue development in broiler chicks
… was to investigate the effect of dietary macronutrient composition on neuropeptide Y (NPY)-mediated regulation of adipose tissue physiology in broiler chickens during the early post-hatch period. A high-carbohydrate (HC), high-fat (HF) or high-protein (HP) diet was fed to broiler chicks in …

Nutritional and Health Consequences of Feeding Diets of Varied Macronutrient Composition and Subjected to Select Processing Conditions in Domestic and Wild Felids
… research objectives: (1) to determine changes in macronutrient digestibilities and fecal fermentative end-products of raw and extruded diets fed to domestic and captive exotic felids; and (2) to measure metabolic and transcriptomic changes in domestic cats fed high-protein or high-carbohydrate …

Effects of dietary macronutrient profile and feeding frequency on circulating metabolites, postprandial endocrine response, and voluntary physical activity of healthy adult cats
… research objectives: 1) to evaluate how dietary macronutrient composition influences circulating metabolites and appetite-regulating hormones in healthy adult cats; and 2) to investigate whether different feeding strategies promote voluntary physical activity in healthy adult cats. Because very …

The interplay between genes and dietary factors in the aetiology of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
… not fully understood, in particular, the role of macronutrient intake. Body weight, glycaemic markers and T2D are all to some extent genetically regulated. There may also be genetic influences on how people digest, absorb or metabolise macronutrients. This poses the possibility that the interplay …
