Mind the gap: brain-behaviour barriers to successful weight loss maintenance
… which facilitate the generation of a chronic positive energy balance, thereby increasing the risk of weight regain in reduced-overweight and reduced-obese women. Second, overweight and obese women as well as those at risk of undergoing relapse exhibit heightened indices of visual food …

Evaluating Nutrition Recommendations and Identifying Predictors to Promote Healthy Weight Gain through Whole Foods in Athletic Individuals
… individuals are commonly encouraged to increase energy intake by ~500 kcal/day with an emphasis on adequate protein and carbohydrate (CHO) and judicious inclusion of healthy fat-containing energy-dense foods (including nuts/nut butters), along with rigorous resistance training (RT). These …

Changes in Body Mass, Body Composition, Physical Activity and Nutrition from the First to the Fourth Academic Year in University Students
… changes during university may result in a positive energy balance and a decrease in diet quality, which can lead to weight gain, a percent body fat in the overweight/obesity range, and increased cardiometabolic disease risk over time. The purpose of the current study was to investigate …

Skeletal Muscle Acetylation in Response to an Acute and Chronic High-Fat Diet
… dietary composition, quantity of food consumed- positive energy balance, and a more sedentary life style. Accompanied with obesity is a chronic low grade inflammatory state defined by increased circulating cytokines and an increase in gene expression promoting inflammation. Multiple health risks …

The energy analysis of burner reactor power systems
… from uraniura. However, in addition to producing energy, such systems also consume energy, in the form of various fuels, during construction and operation. This thesis describes the use of energy analysis to determine the total energy required by these systems. <br></br><br></br>A number of …

Neuropeptide FF and Neuropeptide VF and their control in the regulation of energy homeostasis and glucose metabolism
… of the regulatory mechanisms underlying energy homeostasis. This work used transgenic and knockout mouse models combined with neuronal manipulation and pathway tracing to investigate the role of the Neuropeptide FF (NPFF) and Neuropeptide VF (NPVF) in the regulation of energy balance and …

AMUR TIGER PREDATION AND ENERGETIC REQUIREMENTS IN THE RUSSIAN FAR EAST: NEW INSIGHTS FROM GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM COLLARS
… an average sized litter 7.3 kg/day to maintain a positive energy balance. These are minimum estimates, but clearly illustrate the importance of large ungulate prey because maximum tiger reproduction may require 300% above the average sustenance requirements. This information is critical for …

Conceptual design of HADES a CubeSat conducting radio astronomy in lunar orbit
… solar arrays and a 93 Wh battery, maintains a positive energy balance with a worst-case eclipse depth of discharge of 25%, well within operational safety limits. The communications analysis demonstrates that a standard X-band link to the Deep Space Network, allocated just 20 min of contact time …

Ovarian hormones, but not androgens, mediate running-induced changes in high fat diet choice patterns in rats
Physical inactivity and increased consumption of energy dense, high fat (HF) foods leads to a state of positive energy balance. Regular exercise can facilitate the maintenance of a healthy body weight and mediate changes in dietary selection. Past studies using a two-diet choice (chow vs. HF) and …

The Role of High Saturated Fatty Acid Diets on Skeletal Muscle Metabolism and Inflammation
… to 5 days of high SFA feeding, independent of positive energy balance, and diet-induced agonism of pro-inflammatory pathways. A secondary aim was to determine if the metabolic adaptive response in skeletal muscle to a single, high fat meal was altered by 5 days of high saturated fat feeding. …

Development and Evaluation of a Brief Questionnaire to Assess Habitual Beverage Intake (BEVQ-15): Sugar-Sweetened Beverages and Total Beverage Energy Intake
… (SSB), has increased in recent years (1). Energy-containing beverages do not provide the same satiety as solid foods, and intake of solid food is not spontaneously reduced when energy-containing beverages are consumed (2,3). This may contribute to positive energy balance (1). Conversely, a …

Aging, Physical Activity, and Energy Intake Regulation
… are predisposed to weight gain, decreased total energy expenditure may contribute to positive energy balance. It is also possible that age-related impairments in energy intake regulation result in the inability to appropriately adjust food intake to meet energy requirements with advancing age. …

Blood and liver biomarkers and transcriptome alterations during the transition period reveal beneficial effects of rumen-protected methionine supplementation on health status and performance in dairy cows
… likely to undergo a negative methionine (Met) balance due to increased requirements of tissues and cells for methylated compounds and Met for milk protein production. Therefore, supplementation of rumen-protected Met during the peripartal period may improve yield of milk and protein, and also …

Prevalence of overweight and obesity among 6-13 year old Kuwaiti school children: secular trends, risk factors and their implications
… consequences of which included intake of high energy, high fat, sugar and salt-based diets (above recommended intakes) coupled with a sedentary lifestyle with low levels of daily total energy expenditure. Positive energy balance was confirmed by evidence of overweight and obesity (>65% above …

The influence of the physical state and habitual mastication on the glycaemic response and satiety
… to better understand the mechanisms underlying energy intake and energy regulation. The blood glucose response (GR) has been shown to significantly influence short term food intake and therefore energy balance. Regulating the GR is also important in diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance; …

Switchgrass tolerance to cadmium: uptake and translocation
… switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) as a bioenergy crop. Switchgrass requires input of nitrogen (N) to be productive. Alternatives to inorganic fertilizers are needed to reduce input costs and maintain a positive energy balance. Municipal sludge may be an economical source of N and other …

Skeletal muscle metabolic adaptations in response to an acute high fat diet
… fat have varying capacities to be oxidized and balanced. Further, when analyzing the oxidation of carbohydrate and fat in the skeletal muscle specifically, carbohydrate balance happens quite rapidly, while fat balance does not. The ability of skeletal muscle to adapt and respond to various …

Uncovering Regulators of Whole-Body Metabolism by Chemoproteomic Profiling of the Adipocyte Secretome
… Whereas white adipocytes efficiently store energy in the form of triglycerides, thermogenic brown and beige adipocytes can dissipate energy into heat. Adipose tissue is now considered an important endocrine organ, and increasing evidence suggests that divergent metabolic effects of different …
