The purpose of the present study was to determine the effects of an exercise training programme in high-fat-fed rats on in vitro lipolysis in a visceral (mesenteric) and a non-visceral fat depot (retroperitoneal) and its relationship to perilipin content. Two groups of female rats were fed a high-fat diet (42 % as energy) for 8 weeks, one remaining sedentary (Sed) and the other being exercise t...

Obesity is a growing problem in the United States of America, with more than a third of the population classified as obese. One factor contributing to this multifactorial disorder is the consumption of a high fat diet, a behavior that has been shown to increase both caloric intake and body fat content. However, the elements regulating preference for high fat food over other foods remain underst...

AIMS Ectopic deposition of fat in skeletal muscle is a feature of metabolic syndrome, but its specific association with very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)-apolipoprotein (apo) B-100 metabolism remains unclear. METHODS We examined the association between skeletal muscle fat content and VLDL-apoB-100 kinetics in 25 obese subjects, and the responses of these variables to weight loss. The fat co...

Pistachio nut has high nutritional value. The fat and protein are the common part of pistachio. Major part (about 88%) of the fat content of pistachio includes unsaturated fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acids are known to have positive effects on human health like preventing to heart diseases. This research has evaluated protein, fat and fatty acids content of some commercial pistachio cultivar...

Serum lipocalin-2 (LCN2) plays an important role in the regulation of the obesity-associated dysmetabolic state and cardiovascular disease. However, relatively little is known about the relationship between serum LCN2 levels and body fat content and distribution. We examined the associations of total body fat content and abdominal fat distribution with serum LCN2 levels in Chinese men.The study...

Trans-fat consumption is an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, which one of the leading causes death worldwide. With 'REPLACE' action plan World Health Organization, aims to zero global trans-fat by 2023, steps are taken countries world trans-fat. In this article, content information packaged food products was researched in Türkiye. classified into 4 categories and a total 1411 ...

A fatty liver is associated with fasting hyperinsulinemia, which could reflect either impaired insulin clearance or hepatic insulin action. We determined the effect of liver fat on insulin clearance and hepatic insulin sensitivity in 80 nondiabetic subjects [age 43 +/- 1 yr, body mass index (BMI) 26.3 +/- 0.5 kg/m(2)]. Insulin clearance and hepatic insulin resistance were measured by the euglyc...

The body proximate compositions were assessed in juvenile Coreius heterodon and C. guichenoti from the upstream of the Yangtze River. The migratory C. guichenoti has a higher lipid content (FAT) than the residential C. heterodon. FAT of C. guichenoti showed an interesting pattern of increase, where FAT increased up rapidly and then leveled off as body mass (M) increased above 6.5 g, suggesting ...

BACKGROUND The evaluation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) and its role in metabolism and obesity remains an important topic in the recent literature. This study evaluated the influence of the BAT triglyceride content measured by proton magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) and prediabetes on insulin sensitivity. METHODS A total of 25 patients with ...

After treatment of the newly moulted last (5th) instar nymphs of the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria with 1000.0 or 62.5 ppm of the insect growth regulators (IGRs): pyriproxyfen (juvenoid), tebofenozide (ecdysone agonist) and lufenuron (chitin synthesis inhibitor), protein content was determined in the haemolymph and fat body of nymphs and adults. An inhibitory action on haemolymph proteins...
