Forty mice were randomly divided into four groups on the basis of the diet to be fed as follows: 5% (low) fat diet (T1: LF); 20% (high) fat diet (T2: HF); 20% fat containing 1% conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) (T3: HFC); and 20% fat containing 1% CLA with 0.5% biopolymers (T4: HFCB). The high-fat with CLA diet groups (HFC and HFCB) and the low-fat diet group (LF) tended to have lower body weights...

Metabolically intact NMRI mice and genetically obese NZO mice were fed ad lib. either a high-carbohydrate diet (standard) or a high-fat diet for a period of about 11 (NMRI mice) or 38 (NZO mice) wk. In both strains of mice, body weight increased more in the groups fed the high-fat diet. However, caloric intake by NMRI mice fed the high-fat diet was less than that of the controls. In NMRI mice f...

The goal of this study was to determine if a multimineral natural product derived from red marine algae could reduce colon polyp formation in mice on a high-fat diet. C57BL/6 mice were maintained for up to 18 mo either on a high-fat "Western-style" diet or on a low-fat diet (AIN 76A), with or without the multimineral-supplement. To summarize, colon polyps were detected in 22 of 70 mice (31%) on...

background: functional ovarian cysts (foc) are one of the most common gynecological problems among women of reproductive age. some studies have shown that diet may affect the function of the ovaries, so this study was performed to determine the association between the amount of dietary fat and functional ovarian cysts. methods: this case-control study was performed on 264 female patients (132 w...

Objective(s):Consumption of high-fat foods is one of the major causes of obesity. Physical exercise is a strategy used to counteract obesity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks endurance training and high-fat diet (HFD) on appetite-regulating hormones in rat plasma. Materials and Methods:Twenty eight male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: Contro...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of moderate exercise training or resveratrol supplementation with a low fat diet on lipid metabolism in the skeletal muscle of high fat diet-induced obese mice. METHODS C57BL/6J mice (5 weeks old, n = 30) were fed a high fat diet (45% fat) for 8 weeks first to make them obese. Afterward, all the mice were fed a low fat diet during...

Infusion of fat into the ileum slows small bowel transit and increases absorption of a carbohydrate meal. Paired studies were undertaken to investigate the effect of adding fat to the diet on gastrointestinal transit and absorption in eight people with terminal ileostomies. Each subject ate a daily diet that contained either low or high levels of fat but equivalent amounts of carbohydrate, prot...

BACKGROUND The high-fat Western diet is postulated to be associated with the onset and progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the role of high-fat-diet consumption in AD pathology is unknown. This study was undertaken to examine the role of high-fat-diet intake in AD. METHODS AND RESULTS 5XFAD mice, a useful mouse model of AD, and control wild-type mice were fed (1) high-fat diet o...
