It is generally assumed that high-fat (HF) diets induce characteristic gene expression
regulation, which may cause metabolic alterations associated with an increased risk of …

Purpose Studies associate specific fatty-acids (FA) with the pathophysiology of inflammation.
We aimed to analyze the impact of exercise on adipose tissue FA profile in response to a …

Intake of high-protein (HP) diets has increased over the last years, mainly due to their
popularity for body weight control. Liver is the main organ handling ingested macronutrients …

Methods: Nursing rats were fed a control diet or a cafeteria diet during lactation. Milk was
obtained at different time points of lactation. Offspring (males and females) were weaned …

Humans are limited in their capacity to convert protein into energy. We present a hypothesis
that a “bell” shaped thorax and a wide pelvis evolved in Neandertals, at least in part, as an …

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are accessible in humans, and their gene
expression pattern was shown to reflect overall physiological response of the body to a …

Objectives: Calorie-restriction during gestation in rats has been seen to produce lasting
detrimental effects in the offspring, affecting energy balance control and other related …

Purpose Autophagy and apoptosis play critical roles in both development and tissue
homeostasis in response to (patho) physiological stimuli, such as high-fat diet (HFD) and …

Background Research on biomarkers that provide early information about the development
of future metabolic alterations is an emerging discipline. Gene expression analysis in …

Background: Obesity is a state of excess energy storage resulting in body fat accumulation,
and postmenopausal obesity is a rising issue. In this study using ovariectomized (OVX) rats …
