The Effect of Maternal High-Fat Feeding on Energy Homeostasis in Stressed Adult Male Rat Offspring
Introduction: In the present study the effect of chronic maternal high-fat diet consumption on energy homeostasis and glucose metabolism in response to chronic stress was investigated in adult male rats. Materials and Methods: Female rats were divided into two groups of normal and high fat diets. Each group received their diet from 3 weeks before pregnancy until the end of lactation. At 8 weeks...
متن کاملNeural regulation of glucose homeostasis.
The regulation of blood glucose is generally stated to be under the control of the endocrine system. But the endocrine secretion is itself regulated by the central nervous system, especially the hypothalamus. The brain can sense the energy status of the body by using neural afferent signals and metabolic cues such as glucose. A variety of experimental evidences have been put forth to support th...
متن کاملBreast Milk Hormones and Regulation of Glucose Homeostasis
Growing evidence suggests that a complex relationship exists between the central nervous system and peripheral organs involved in energy homeostasis. It consists in the balance between food intake and energy expenditure and includes the regulation of nutrient levels in storage organs, as well as in blood, in particular blood glucose. Therefore, food intake, energy expenditure, and glucose homeo...
متن کاملHypothalamic Angptl4/Fiaf Is a Novel Regulator of Food Intake and Body Weight
OBJECTIVE The angiopoietin-like protein 4 (Angptl4)/fasting-induced adipose factor (Fiaf) is known as a regulator of peripheral lipid and glucose metabolism. In the present study, we investigated the physiological role of Angptl4 in central regulation of body weight homeostasis. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Hypothalamic Angptl4 expression levels were measured using immunoblot assay during feed...
متن کاملMice With Hyperghrelinemia Are Hyperphagic and Glucose Intolerant and Have Reduced Leptin Sensitivity
OBJECTIVE Ghrelin is the only known peripheral hormone to increase ingestive behavior. However, its role in the physiological regulation of energy homeostasis is unclear because deletion of ghrelin or its receptor does not alter food intake or body weight in mice fed a normal chow diet. We hypothesized that overexpression of ghrelin in its physiological tissues would increase food intake and bo...
متن کاملEvidence for Leptin Regulation of Food Intake
The adipocyte hormone leptin regulates body weight in mice by decreasing food intake and increasing energy expenditure. Whether leptin is of physiological importance for these processes in humans is, however, not clear. We therefore studied the relation between leptin and habitual food intake in 64 healthy postmenopausal women. Dietary habits were assessed with a modified diet history method. B...
