The impact of sex and 13-week HFD were characterized according to standard metabolic and endocrinologic measurements, including weight gain, fat distribution, fasting glucose, insulin, and circulating estrogen levels. HFD-induced weight gain was significantly higher in males compared to females (Fig. ...
Central 5-HT has been involved in energy homeostasis, dietary consumption, and satiety which remains unclear, but a direct correlation between weight gain and food consumption through serotonin transmission could serve as a potential target for assessing metabolic and neurological disorders (Bejeshk et...
Obesity is a prominent risk factor for male infertility, and a high-fat diet is an important cause of obesity. Therefore, diet control can reduce body weight and regulate blood glucose and lipids, but it remains unclear whether it can improve male fertility and its mechanism. This study explor...
females had greater metabolic impairment (weight gain, visceral fat accumulation, and glucose intolerance) than HF-fed WT females (p < 0.0001 for all measures). Conversely, in males, LF-fed AD and LF-fed MxD males had less visceral fat than LF-fed WT males (p < 0.001 for AD,...
Experimental groups that were fed high-fat diet included 20% fresh soybean oil diet (FSO), 20% oxidized soybean oil diet (OSO) and 20% margarine diet (MG). Each group was kept on the treatment for 4 weeks. Water and food consumption and the individual animal body-weight were recorded ...
1, No. 1 Low GI, High Fiber Food May Help Regulate Weight By Elizabeth A. Rondini, PhD, RD and Jenifer I. Fenton, PhD, MPH Obesity continues to be a signifi- cant public health concern on a global basis. In 2005, the World Health Organization estimated that more than one billion ...
The food was replaced every 7 days, and the mice were weighed weekly. Prior to sacrifice, blood glucose was measured from the tail vein by glucometer. Mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation, and tissues, except those used for histone acetylation analysis, were quickly harvested by freeze ...
Food intake and body weights were measured daily while water intake was measured weekly as described previously [19]. After 16 weeks, mice were anesthetized using 2% Attane™ isoflurane (Minrad Inc, Bethlehem, PA) under 2 LPM oxygen, using OHMEDA Isotec 4 Vaporizer (Datex-Ohmeda, Helsinki, ...
For the stomach sample metadata from the paternal generation/F0sires, these variables included: final weight at necropsy, dietary condition (CD or HFD), weight gain from pre- to post-diet manipulation, testes weight, abdominal fat pad weight, gonadal fat weight, brain weight, and percentages ...
. Food intake of rats was recorded every day by weighing uneaten food each morning and body weight of all rats was recorded per week. At the end of the 8th week, 26 rats whose body weights were over the average weight of +1.96 times the standard deviation of the regular diet group...
