there has been considerable inconsistency regarding the potential relationship between dyslipidemia and bone metabolism. the inflammatory stimulation through the receptor activator of the nuclear factor kappa-b ligand (rankl)/ receptor activator of the nuclear factor kappa-b (rank)/ osteoprotegerin (opg) pathway could be the infrastructural mechanism for hypercholesterolemia-induced bone loss. ...

Metabolic disorders induced by high-fat feeding in rodents evoke some, if not all, of the features of human metabolic syndrome. The occurrence and severity of metabolic disorders, however, varies according to rodent species, and even strain, as well as the diet. Therefore, in the present study, we investigated the long-term obesogenic and diabetogenic effects of three high-fat diets differing b...

Four concentrations of dietary nonfiber carbohydrate (42, 36, 30, and 24%) were evaluated using eight multiparous Holstein cows (662 kg of BW; 63 DIM) in replicated 4 x 4 Latin squares with 28-d periods. Shelled corn and soybean meal were partially replaced with wheat middlings, dried brewers grains, and soy hulls to formulate 36, 30, and 24% nonfiber carbohydrate diets. Decreasing dietary nonf...

In an attempt to define the relationship between plasma insulin and triglyceride concentrations, we have studied the effect of suppression of the postprandial insulin response upon the secretion and plasma concentration of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL)-triglycerides. Eight nondiabetic subjects with a wide range of fasting plasma triglyceride levels (100-358 mg/dl) were studied during thre...

Athletes often train or compete in athletic events that significantly reduce muscle and liver glycogen reserves. Carbohydrate ingestion before or during endurance exercise enhances performance by maintaining blood glucose levels and carbohydrate utilization. Also, an adequate intake of carbohydrate following endurance exercise helps to restore muscle and liver glycogen. This paper reviews the p...
