Model for predicting and phenotyping at normal weight the long-term propensity for obesity in Sprague-Dawley rats.
Tests were conducted to determine whether weight gain or nutrient intake measures during the first week of exposure to a macronutrient diet can accurately predict an animal's long-term propensity towards obesity. In multiple groups of normal-weight Sprague-Dawley rats (n=35-70/group), daily weight gain during the first 5 days on a high-fat diet (45-60% fat) was found to be strongly, positively ...
متن کاملPatterns of Maternal Weight Gain During Pregnancy and Birth Weight
Anthropometric parameters are an important indicator of health and nutritional status comprising the whole span of mans life. However, they are not of the same degree of simplicity and sensitivity in assessing the public health status. During recent decades many studies have attempted to examine the relationships of these measurements in order to present simple alternatives for similar purposes...
متن کاملPatterns of Weight Gain and Birth Weight Amongst Indian Women
Background: The timing of maternal weight change in pregnancy may be an important determinant of birth weight. The objective of this study was to measure weight gain patterns from early pregnancy until delivery, and to examine the relationship between prenatal weight gain and low birth weight. Methods: A total of 500 pregnant women within 15-20 days of conception, with confirmed pregnancies and...
متن کاملEnhanced metabolic efficiency contributes to weight regain after weight loss in obesity-prone rats.
Metabolic adjustments occur with weight loss that may contribute to a high rate of weight regain. We have previously observed in obesity-prone, obese rats that weight reduction is accompanied by a suppression in resting metabolic rate beyond what would be predicted for the change in metabolic mass. In the present study, we examine if this adjustment in metabolic efficiency is affected by the le...
