Introduction: Arginine-phenylalanine-amide-related peptide-3 (RFRP-3) is an inhibitor of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion and an appetizer. Kisspeptin is a stimulator of GnRH and a regulator of energy metabolism. The objectives of the present study were to compare the effect of long term malnutrition on expression of RFRP-3 mRNA in dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus (DMH) and Ki...

1. Effects of dietary composition, energy restriction, and diabetes on hexose absorption were examined by feeding male rats isoenergetic, semi-synthetic diets of differing carbohydrate and protein content. Diets were carbohydrate, (g/kg): 890 sucrose; carbohydrate-protien, 500 sucrose, 390 casein; or protein, 890 casein. An additional group was fed on commercial rat chow ad lib. 2. Hexose (3-O-...

Background: The increase of calorie intake can the risk obesity and diabetes mellitus. One efforts to reduce is doing physical exercise. Types exercise that affect system female reproduction are not clearly defined. Purpose: To analyse effect moderate intensity continuous on FSH levels in rats exposed a high-calorie diet. Methods: Laboratory experimental was research with Randomized Post test o...

Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the effect of swimming training (T) on renal system and body composition parameters in young animals treated with a high sucrose diet (SUD) during 12 weeks. Results The SUD impaired physical performance, increased adiposity index (BAI), Lee (LI) retroperitoneal adipose tissue (RAT) weight, plasma creatinine number cells nuclei, decreased urinary v...

epidemiological and clinical studies indicate a close relationship between obesity and asthma. here, we determined the impact of diet-induced obesity on the expression levels of il-1β, irak-1 and traf-6 mrna as well as il-1β protein level and pathological changes in male wistar rat’s lung after sensitization with ovalbumin (ova). twenty male wistar rats divided into four groups, control with no...

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effects of onion (Allium cepa L.) against hyperglycaemia and dyslipidemia and determine possible changes in these effects due to different heat treatments applied to onion. Materials and Methods: 32 male Wistar-albino rats were divided into 4 groups as follows: the groups C and DC were fed with standard rat diet;...

Control of one pest species may permit increases in abundance of other pests, thereby reducing the overall net benefit from pest control. We provide evidence that control of introduced possums (Trichosurus vulpecula) may increase ship rat (Rattus rattus) abundance in some New Zealand native forests. Ship rat abundance in a podocarp–hardwood forest was assessed using simple interference indices ...

We examined the role of simple exposure to a diet in the development of preference for that diet in rat pups 21, 28, 38, and 45 days of age. We found: that 21-day-old rat pups exhibited a preference for a diet to which they were simply exposed for 30 min; that 28-, 38-, and 45-day-old pups failed to exhibit simple-exposure induced preference for a diet; and that pups at all ages examined, expos...
