While a high-fat diet when compared to low-fat diet is known to produce overeating and
health complications, less is known about the effects produced by fat-rich diets differing in …

Recent studies in normal-weight rats have linked circulating triglycerides (TG), when
elevated by a high-fat (HF) compared to equicaloric low-fat (LF) meal, to an increase in …

The rapid rise in obesity has been linked to altered food consumption patterns. There is
increasing evidence that, in addition to total energy intake, the macronutrient composition of …

Little is known about the impact of circulating lipids on brain processes. Building on
evidence that chronic fat consumption stimulates hypothalamic peptides in close association …

Objectives: The mechanisms for how saturated fat and sugar-based beverages contribute to
human obesity are poorly understood. This paper describes a series of experiments …

Some, but not all, fats are obesogenic. The aim of the present studies was to investigate the
effects of changing type and amount of dietary fats on energy balance, fat deposition, leptin …

Various high‐fat diets are obesogenic but not to the same extent. The aim of the present
study was to investigate the effects of saturated fat n‐6 and n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids …

To investigate mechanisms that mediate the greater food intake induced by a fat-rich diet,
the present study tested an acute “preload-to-test meal” paradigm in normal-weight rats. In …

Objective: To investigate the differential effects of acute central administration of distinct fatty
acids (FA) on food intake, body weight and energy metabolism. Design: Male Sprague …

Altered tissue fatty acid (FA) composition may affect mechanisms involved in the control of
energy homeostasis, including central insulin actions. In rats fed either standard chow or a …
