Low-protein diets most often induce increased energy intake in an attempt to increase
protein intake to meet protein needs with a risk of accumulation as fat of the excess energy …

Background Consumption of added sugars has been considered a worldwide public health
concern by its association with metabolic syndrome and its comorbidities. Meanwhile …

Little is known about how diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance affect protein and
amino acid (AA) metabolism in tissues. The natural relative abundances of the heavy stable …

Intake of sodas has been shown to increase energy intake and to contribute to obesity in
humans and in animal models, although the magnitude and importance of these effects are …

We tested the hypothesis that, for rats fed a high-fat diet (HFD), a prioritization of maintaining
protein intake may increase energy consumption and hence result in obesity, particularly for …

Through a high-fat diet, obesity leads to cardiomyocyte dysfunction and apoptosis. In
addition, there is no evidence that probiotics have potential health effects associated with …

We previously reported that rats prone to obesity exhibit an exaggerated increase in glucose
oxidation and an exaggerated decline in lipid oxidation under a low-fat high-carbohydrate …

Amino acids are involved in energy homeostasis, just as are carbohydrates and lipids.
Therefore, mechanisms controlling protein intake should operate independently and in …

Consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages is associated with overweight and obesity. In
this study, we hypothesized that obesity-prone (OP) mice fed a high-fat high-sucrose diet …

The current experiment tested the hypothesis that consumption of a high-fat diet (HFD)
would differentially affect metabolic parameters in obesity-prone Osborne-Mendel (OM) and …
