Obesity and its secondary complications continue to increase worldwide and constitute one
of the most important health care problems in many societies. It is now clear that the …

The aims of this study were to increase understanding of the relationships of food intake with
metabolic rate (heat output) and body composition by examining the bases of differences in …

Fatty (fa/fa) rats accumulate more adipose mass than their littermates soon after birth, but
they first appear obese during the fourth week of life. We analyzed the effects of fa genotype …

The goal of the present study was to determine gene expression profiles that change in
response to a high fat diet (HFD) in white and brown adipose. Male C57Bl/6 mice were fed a …

To elucidate the influence of high body weight selection on tissue growth patterns, adipose
tissue growth and lipid accumulation were investigated in both a line of mice selected for …

We determined whether altered physical activity levels might underlie the contrasting
adiposity of a divergently selected polygenic murine model of metabolic syndrome (Fat; F) …

In human health, there is interest in developing specific diets to reduce body weight. These
studies are mainly focused on phenotypic changes induced in blood measurements, ie …

The aim of this study was to characterize the responses of individual tissues to high-fat
feeding as a function of mass, fat composition, and transcript abundance. We examined a …

ABSTRACT A divergent selection experiment for intramuscular fat (IMF) of LM at 9 wk of age
was performed in rabbits. The objective of this work was to compare the lipid metabolism in …

PURPOSE: As increases in aerobic fitness have a beneficial effect on cardiovascular
disease, one purpose was to determine if a relationship was evident between global DNA …
