A region of the brain called the perirhinal cortex represents both what things look like and what they mean.

The "illusory truth" effect refers to the phenomenon whereby repetition of a statement increases its likelihood of being judged true. This phenomenon has important implications for how we come to believe oft-repeated information that may be misleading or unknown. Behavioral evidence indicates that fluency, the subjective ease experienced while processing information, underlies this effect. This...

High-fat diet (HFD) induces obesity. This study examined the effects of Shiitake mushroom on the prevention of alterations of plasma lipid profiles, fat deposition, energy efficiency, and body fat index induced by HFD. Rats were given a low, medium, and high (7, 20, 60 g/kg = LD-M, MD-M, HD-M) Shiitake mushroom powder in their high-fat (50% in kcal) diets for 6 weeks. The results showed that th...

Influences of fat on release of insulin, growth hormone and pancreatic enzyme secretion were studied in 35 metabolically healthy subjects. A fat solution containing 40 g of soy bean oil was administered, I.V., orally and intraduodenally. In all cases there was a similar increase of insulin but the rise in serum insulin after oral or intraduodenal fat administration was not related to the change...

Background: NAFLD is a spectrum of diseases ranging from steatosis to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) fibrosis & cirrhosis. evolve over period time develop fibrosis, thereafter progression cirrhosis enhanced. Presence fat and myosteatosis may affect the clinical presentation, complications outcome. Aim compare body composition along with laboratory parameters patients among groups without s...

Food bars are food products that can solid and classified as semi-wet or intermediate moisture be developed while still paying attention to adequate calories, nutrients needed by the body, practical, reduce hunger, is in form of food. Our concern was looking for flour from local resource plants, like composite modified breadfruit flour, purple sweet potato mocaf saga seed flour. The analysis ca...

AIMS The impact of a high-fat diet on the failing heart is unclear, and the differences between polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and saturated fat have not been assessed. Here, we compared a standard low-fat diet to high-fat diets enriched with either saturated fat (palmitate and stearate) or PUFA (linoleic and α-linolenic acids) in hamsters with genetic cardiomyopathy. METHODS AND RESULTS ...

An important goal in the management of obesity is to reduce excess body fat while minimizing the loss of lean tissue. This study evaluated whether increasing dietary protein would increase fat loss and minimize loss of lean body mass in cats during weight loss. Isocaloric diets containing approximately 35% or 45% of energy from protein were fed to achieve weight loss of 1% of body weight per we...

Methods 44 consecutive patients with normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF> 35%), age<70 years old, were enrolled in a research study exploring the underlying myocardial substrate of ECG findings. The presence of interatrial fat was assessed with a complete CMR study including Dark-blood DIR-prepared Fat-Water-separated sequence3 in the horizontal longitudinal axis (4 chamber view). T...
