This study aimed at investigating the acute effect of a moderate dose of caffein e given in the presence and absence of food on hepatic glycogen, in view of the widespread consumption of caffeine worldwide from a variety ...
Food intake is believed to be controlled in part by metabolic factors including glycogen metabolism in the liver. It is now known that glycogen can be synthesized in the liver by two different pathways, the direct and ...
Food intake is supposed to be controlled, to a certain extent, by metabolic factors including glycogen metabolism in the liver. Glutamine and dihydroxyacetone are substances known to increase hepatic glycogenesis. In obese ...
Branched chain amino acids (Valine, Leucine and Isoleucine) have been used to li mit anorexia in critically ill patients by enhancing food intake (Laviano et al. 2005). One possible mechanism by which BCAA affects food ...
Over the past decades, the increasing consumption of fructose was associated wit h obesity and hypertriglyceridemia. On the other side, phosphorus consumption is increasing due to its wide presence in soft drinks, processed ...
Glucose is the most common sugar and found in considerable concentration in sweet fruits and honey. However, increased consumption of glucose has increased dramatically in the past decade which led to increased obesity and ...
This study investigated the effect of the ratio of linoleic to linolenic polyunsaturated fatty acids in canola oil, under controlled vitamin E intakes, on serum lipids, lipid peroxidation, and lipoprotein lipase activity. ...
This study aimed at studying the effects of energy restriction on small intestinal absorption in colectomized rats as compared to sham rats serving as control. Thirty-four adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into ...
This study aimed at assessing the effects of rice bran oil (RBO) blends with a high monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) oil, canola oil (CO), on serum lipids, lipid peroxidation, and lipoprotein lipase activity in rats. ...
Cereal consumption contributes a considerable proportion of the protein, in the form of gluten, and energy intake in most societies. Also, the increasing preval ence of chronic diseases and its association with animal ...
Scientific evidence showed that copper deficiency can worsen the hyperlipidemia seen with chronic high fructose intake. The detrimental effects of high fructose intake and copper deficiency have been emphasized in several ...
The therapeutic use of glucocorticoids is associated with weight gain and may pl ay an important role in the initiation of obesity, an effect which is undesirabl e and even detrimental. Studies have shown that glucocorticoids ...
Despite the reported benefits of high-protein diets, concerns still exist about their possible adverse health effects. Vitamin B6 is known to be involved in pro tein and fat metabolism and its requirement increase when ...
This study attempted to investigate the effect of diet composition (high protein versus high carbohydrate) on weight gain, body composition and blood parameters of rats treated with glucocorticoids. The high carbohydrate ...
