AIM considering the frequent consumption of fat-rich diets by women of reproductive age, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of maternal consumption of a high-fat diet during the perinatal and/ or post-weaning period on the liver parameters and lipid metabolism of young rats. METHODS Wistar female rats were fed a high-fat (H) or control (C) diet during pregnancy and la...

Clock(δ19)+MEL mutant mice, which retain melatonin rhythmicity, but lack peripheral tissue rhythmicity have impaired glucose tolerance, but reduced plasma free fatty acids, increased plasma adiponectin, and improved insulin sensitivity. Here, we report their response to a high-fat diet and adipocyte rhythmicity and function. The diet increased epigonadal fat weight similarly (twofold) in both w...

BACKGROUND It takes several days to adapt to a high-fat diet. In an earlier study, we observed a large degree of interindividual variation in the capacity to adapt to a high-fat diet. We hypothesized that concurrent physical activity would accelerate fat oxidation during an isoenergetic high-fat diet. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine the effect of increased physical acti...

BACKGROUND Although its unclear oncological risk, which led to more than 20 years of prohibition of its use, fat grafting to the breast is widely used nowadays even for aesthetic purposes. Thus, we proposed an experimental model in rats to analyze the inflammatory activity, cellular proliferation and levels of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor (PAI-1) in grafted fat, and in native fat exposed to ...

The association between consumption of full-fat dairy foods and CVD may depend partly on the nature of products and may not apply to low-fat dairy foods. Increased circulating levels of inflammatory biomarkers after consumption of dairy product-rich meals suggest an association with CVD. In the present study, we tested the effects of low-fat and full-fat dairy diets on biomarkers associated wit...

background: although several observational and experimental studies have examined the effects of low carbohydrate diets (lcds) on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld), there are considerable inconsistencies among studies. we summarized the effect of lcds on liver function tests, including intrahepatic lipid content (ihlc), alanine transaminase (alt), aspartate aminotransferases (ast),and ga...

A total of 120 barrows (maternal line PIC 1050) with an initial BW of 105.7 lb were used in an 83-d trial to study the effects of dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) and extruded expelled soybean meal (EESM) on growth performance and fat quality. Pigs were blocked by weight and randomly allotted to one of six treatments with two pigs per pen and 10 pens per treatment. Diets were: a cor...

To assess modification of thioacetamide-induced hepatotoxicity in mice fed a high-fat diet, male C57BL/6J mice were fed a normal rodent diet or a high-fat diet for 8 weeks and then treated once intraperitoneally with thioacetamide at 50 mg/kg body weight. At 24 and 48 hours after administration, massive centrilobular hepatocellular necrosis was observed in mice fed the normal rodent diet, while...
