Controlling food intake and energy balance: which macronutrient should we select?
Introduction ‘Count genes, not calories’ was the title of a nutrition article in the Financial Times of Friday, 13 June 2003. It referred to the results of the Human Genome Project and the discovery of our 35 000 genes, whose functions are currently both known and unknown. It also mentioned the study that painstakingly and systematically analysed all 17 000 genes of the Caenorhabditis elegans w...
متن کاملFood reinforcement, energy intake, and macronutrient choice.
BACKGROUND Food is a powerful reinforcer that motivates people to eat. The relative reinforcing value of food (RRV(food)) is associated with obesity and energy intake and interacts with impulsivity to predict energy intake. OBJECTIVE How RRV(food) is related to macronutrient choice in ad libitum eating tasks in humans has not been studied; however, animal research suggests that sugar or simpl...
متن کاملMacronutrient intake and cancer: how does dietary restriction influence tumor growth and why should we care?
This perspective on the report by Rogozina and colleagues (beginning on page 712 in this issue of the journal) reviews mechanisms that may underlie inhibitory effects of dietary restriction on tumor growth in the mouse mammary tumor virus transforming growth factor alpha (MMTV-TGF-alpha) breast cancer model and comments on the potential clinical relevance of these mechanisms. The inhibitory eff...
متن کاملGhrelin and the regulation of food intake and energy balance.
Ghrelin, an endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor, is synthesized principally in the stomach and is released in response to acute and chronic changes in nutritional state. In addition to having a powerful effect on the secretion of growth hormone, ghrelin stimulates food intake and transduces signals to hypothalamic regulatory nuclei that control energy homeostasis. Thu...
متن کاملHeparanase Affects Food Intake and Regulates Energy Balance in Mice
Mutation of the melanocortin-receptor 4 (MC4R) is the most frequent cause of severe obesity in humans. Binding of agouti-related peptide (AgRP) to MC4R involves the co-receptor syndecan-3, a heparan sulfate proteoglycan. The proteoglycan can be structurally modified by the enzyme heparanase. Here we tested the hypothesis that heparanase plays a role in food intake behaviour and energy balance r...
