BACKGROUND: Insulin resistance induced by a high fat diet has been associated with alterations in lipid content and composition in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. Administration of beta3-adrenoceptor (beta3-AR) agonists was recently reported to prevent insulin resistance induced by a high fat diet, such as the cafeteria diet. The objective of the present study was to determine whether a sel...

Objective(s): Human and animal studies have shown a close relationship between obesity and asthma severity. Here, we examined the effects of diet-induced obesity (DIO) on the expression levels of IL-1β, IRAK-1 and TRAF-6 mRNA in male Wistar rats tracheal after sensitization with ovalbumin (OVA). Materials and Methods:Twenty male Wistar rats divided to four groups, included, control group with ...

This study evaluated the effect of including clove essential oil (EOcl) in Nile tilapia diets on animal performance and antioxidant power, lipid oxidation, gene expression, texture, pH, color sensory analysis fillets. Three levels EOcl were (0.70, 1.05 1.40 g/kg), provided over three periods before slaughtering animals (15, 45 60 days). The power increased after EOcl. There was an interaction b...

Dietary fat contributes significantly to the energy requirements of poultry. Not all species are able to increase their absorptive capacity for fats in response to a high fat diet. The effects of a high fat diet (10% canola oil) on the lipid absorption and deposition in the liver, breast and thigh muscles of male and female Japanese quail were investigated. Thirty-eight Japanese quail (Coturnix...

Abstract In this paper we present an investigation of parental-diet-driven metabolic programming in offspring using a novel computational network analysis tool. The impact high paternal carbohydrate intake on offsprings’ phospholipid and triglyceride metabolism F1 F2 generations is described. Detailed lipid profiles were acquired from neonate (3 weeks), adult (16 weeks) serum, liver, brain, hea...

Objective(s) The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of aerobics, pilates exercises and low calorie diet on leptin levels and some lipid profiles and anthropometric factors in sedentary women. Materials and Methods Forty six women (age 36.41±3.47) were recruited and divided into four groups: aerobic exercise group (EX), Pilates exercise group (Pilates), low calorie diet (LCD) an...

objective: this study was designed to investigate the effect of hydroalcoholic extract and essential oil of heracleum persicum (apiaceae) on lipid profile of male hyperlipidemic rabbits. materials and methods: thirty rabbits were randomly divided into six groups of five each. one group received normal diet and the other groups fed with a high cholesterol (2% w/w) diet for 7 weeks. vehicle, hydr...

The antioxidant effect of dietary Zataria multiflora boiss (ZMBE) extract supplementation on the susceptibility of chicken thigh muscle to lipid oxidation during frozen storage at -20 ˚C for 6 months was examined in this experiment. Three hundred thirty six day-old chicks were allocated to 7 dietary treatments with 4 replicates (12 birds each) in a completely randomized design. The dietary trea...

objective(s)cardiovascular disease causes a major clinical problem in patients with end stage renal disease. since metabolic acidosis is very common in patients with end stage renal disease, we aimed to investigate the effect of experimentally-induced metabolic acidosis on serum lipid profile and aortic fatty streak (fs) formation in normal and high-cholesterol fed rabbits.materials and methods...
