OBJECTIVE: A low-fat diet is hypothesized to be associated with significant weight loss.
However, most previous studies have been limited to low-fat, low-calorie restrictive diets …

Aim: This study aims to establish a model that will allow the comparison of the phenotypic
variations between a fat‐preferring strain and a macronutrient non‐preferring strain of …

Background Sub-optimally nourished rats show reduced growth, biochemical and
physiological changes. However, no one has assessed metabolic rate adaptations in rats …

Metabolic adjustments occur with weight loss that may contribute to a high rate of weight
regain. We have previously observed in obesity-prone, obese rats that weight reduction is …

Thermogenic response to ingestion of high-fat diet was investigated in four groups of male
rats, two groups being exercise trained and two remaining sedentary. One sedentary and …

A search was made for predisposing factors and sequelae of diet-induced obesity (DIO) or
resistance to DIO (DR). During 3 mo on a high-energy (CM) diet, two-thirds of the male …

Background Intermittent fasting (IF) strategies have emerged as viable alternatives to
traditional calorie-restricted diets. A key predictor of metabolic health and response to diet is …

Food restriction (FR) is hypothesized to decrease body fat content of an animal and thus
prevent obesity. However, the response of energy budget to a continuous (CFR) or …

The purpose of the present study was to characterize the time course of adaptation (ie,
circulating metabolites and hormones, fat pad mass, lipoprotein lipase) to a high-fat diet in …
