Aims/hypothesis Prolonged elevation of plasma specific fatty acids may exert differential
effects on glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS), insulin sensitivity and clearance …

The presence of nutrients in the small intestine slows gastric emptying and suppresses
appetite and food intake; these effects are partly mediated by the release of gut hormones …

Acetate and propionate, produced during colonic fermentation of unabsorbed carbohydrate,
may influence systemic lipid metabolism. As a preliminary study to see whether colonic …

Background: Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) are produced by colonic microbiota from dietary
carbohydrates and proteins that reach the colon. It has been suggested that SCFA may …

Long-chain fatty acid and sn-2-monoacylglycerol (2-MG) are the digestive products of
dietary triacylglycerol (TG) hydrolysis. Although fatty acid uptake into the enterocyte has …

Objective: The ileal brake is a feedback mechanism activated by nutrients, especially fat,
with marked effects on satiety. The effects of low doses of ileal fat on satiety are largely …

Two diets, identical except for differences in trans and cis fatty acids, were fed to rabbits in
order to evaluate the effects of dietary trans fatty acids on the fatty acid composition of serum …

Increasing evidence supports the notion that there are significant differences in the health
effects of diets enriched in saturated, as opposed to monounsaturated or polyunsaturated …

Background: Given the growing prevalence of overweight and obesity, weight-management
strategies could be developed based on the effect of specific food ingredients on the …

Dietary fat has been implicated in the rise of obesity due to its energy density, palatability
and weak effects on satiety. As fat is a major contributor to overall energy intake …
