Influence of different dietary fats on triacylglycerol deposition in rat adipose tissue
(Cambridge University Press, 2000-11)
It has been demonstrated that triacylglycerol (TAG) mobilization from adipose tissue is selective and depends on fatty acid (FA) chain length, unsaturation and positional isomerism. The present study was performed to ...
Dietary fat source regulates ob gene expression in white adipose tissue of rats under hyperphagic feeding
(Cambridge University Press, 2002-05)
This work was designed to investigate the effect of different lipid sources on ob gene expression and serum leptin levels in rats with two different feeding protocols: (1) free access to food; or (2) energy-controlled ...
The trans-10,cis-12 isomer of conjugated linoleic acid reduces hepatic triacylglycerol content without affecting lipogenic enzymes in hamsters
(Cambridge University Press, 2004-09)
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) refers to the positional and geometric dienoic isomers of linoleic acid. The dietary intake of CLA has been associated with changes in lipid metabolism. The aim of the present work was to ...
Weak effect of trans-10, cis-12-conjugated linoleic acid on body fat accumulation in adult hamsters
(Cambridge University Press, 2009-12-14)
It has been proposed that young animals and subjects are more responsive to conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) than the adults. Nevertheless, there is very little information concerning the effectiveness of CLA in adult animals. ...
trans-10, cis-12 Conjugated linoleic acid inhibits lipoprotein lipase but increases the activity of lipogenic enzymes in adipose tissue from hamsters fed an atherogenic diet
(Cambridge University Press, 2006-06)
The aim of the present work was to investigate the effects of trans-10,cis-12conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on the activity and expression of lipogenic enzymes and lipoprotein lipase (LPL), as well as on the expression of ...
Effects of trans-10, cis-12 conjugated linoleic acid on the expression of uncoupling proteins in hamsters fed an atherogenic diet
(Cambridge University Press, 2007-06)
It is known that conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) feeding decreases body adiposity but the mechanisms involved are not clear. The aim of this study was to analyse whether alterations in uncoupling protein (UCP) expression ...
Effects of the whole seed and a protein isolate of faba bean (Vicia faba) on the cholesterol metabolism of hypercholesterolaemic rats
(Cambridge University Press, 2001-05)
The aim of the present work was to analyse the hypocholesterolaemic efficiency of a Vicia faba-protein isolate in relation to the intact legume. In addition, the mechanisms underlying the effects of this isolate were ...
A multi-gene analysis strategy identifies metabolic pathways targeted by trans-10, cis-12-conjugated linoleic acid in the liver of hamsters
(Cambridge University Press, 2009-08-28)
In mice, hepatic functions can be greatly affected by dietary trans-10, cis-12-conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). However, this phenomenon has been less documented in hamsters. In the present study, male hamsters were fed two ...
Trans-10,cis-12-conjugated linoleic acid does not increase body fat loss induced by energy restriction
(Cambridge University Press, 2008-12)
Very little evidence exists concerning the effects of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on body fat reduction induced by energy restriction. Moreover, although an effect of trans-10, cis-12-CLA on lipolysis has been suggested, ...
Comparison of predicted body fat percentage from anthropometric methods and from impedance in university students
(Cambridge University Press, 2004-11)
The objective of the present study was to compare different methods for evaluating body fat percentage (BF%) (anthropometric methods and bioelectrical impedance analysis) in university students. Subjects were 653 healthy ...
