On raising energy expenditure in ob/ob mice.
Jay C. Erickson et al. (1) describe the energy intake and energy expenditure of mutant obese mice (ob/ob) in which the gene for neuropeptide Y (NPY) is disrupted. They conclude that deficiency of NPY in the ob/ob mouse reduces the elevated food intake and increases the low energy expenditure, partially ameliorating the obesity. Another report, by Mary Ann Pelleymounter et al. (2), describes ene...
متن کاملButyrate Improves Insulin Sensitivity and Increases Energy Expenditure in Mice
OBJECTIVE We examined the role of butyric acid, a short-chain fatty acid formed by fermentation in the large intestine, in the regulation of insulin sensitivity in mice fed a high-fat diet. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In dietary-obese C57BL/6J mice, sodium butyrate was administrated through diet supplementation at 5% wt/wt in the high-fat diet. Insulin sensitivity was examined with insulin to...
متن کاملAcutely Decreased Thermoregulatory Energy Expenditure or Decreased Activity Energy Expenditure Both Acutely Reduce Food Intake in Mice
Despite the suggestion that reduced energy expenditure may be a key contributor to the obesity pandemic, few studies have tested whether acutely reduced energy expenditure is associated with a compensatory reduction in food intake. The homeostatic mechanisms that control food intake and energy expenditure remain controversial and are thought to act over days to weeks. We evaluated food intake i...
متن کاملEnergy expenditure in maximal jumps on sand.
The purpose of this study was to comparatively investigate the energy expenditure of jumping on sand and on a firm surface. Eight male university volleyball players were recruited in this study and performed 3 sets of 10 repetitive jumps on sand (the S condition), and also on a force platform (the F condition). The subjects jumped every two seconds during a set, and the interval between sets wa...
متن کاملEnergy expenditure in caving
The aim of this study was to determine the energy expenditure of a group of cavers of both genders and different ages and experience during a 10 hour subterranean exploration, using portable metabolimeters. The impact of caving activity on body composition and hydration were also assessed through bioelectrical impedance, and nutritional habits of cavers surveyed. During cave activity, measured ...
