Diet, Energy and Evolution

S • A3 expansion of C4 grasses. Mesowear analysis and mandibular measurements were recorded on a suite of common Siwalik ungulate taxa including bovids, tragulids, giraffids, and equids dated before and after 8 Ma. Results are compared to published microwear and stable carbon isotope data. Preliminary data suggest that the dietary reconstruction obtained for some taxa as well as the observation...

Constraints on Energy Intake in Fish: The Link between Diet Composition, Energy Metabolism, and Energy Intake in Rainbow Trout

The hypothesis was tested that fish fed to satiation with iso-energetic diets differing in macronutrient composition will have different digestible energy intakes (DEI) but similar total heat production. Four iso-energetic diets (2 × 2 factorial design) were formulated having a contrast in i) the ratio of protein to energy (P/E): high (H(P/E)) vs. low (L(P/E)) and ii) the type of non-protein en...

Energy metabolism and obesity.

Over the long-term, most adult humans are able to maintain body energy stores through the process of energy balance, which regulates how much energy is consumed to match how much energy is expended. Energy expenditure is required for resting metabolic rate to maintain basic physiologic functions (e.g., heart beat, muscle function, respiration) and metabolize, digest, and store food that is cons...

SIRT1 and energy metabolism.

Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is the most conserved mammalian NAD(+)-dependent protein deacetylase that has emerged as a key metabolic sensor in various metabolic tissues. In response to different environmental stimuli, SIRT1 directly links the cellular metabolic status to the chromatin structure and the regulation of gene expression, thereby modulating a variety of cellular processes such as energy metabo...
