Effect of Hypercaloric versus Isocaloric Lipid Diet Ration on Diurnal/Nocturnal Eating Pattern in Self-Selecting Rats
نویسندگان
چکیده
Analyses of rats diurnal/nocturnal feeding behaviour were made according to the caloric density of the lipid ration. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were simultaneously offered three pure macronutrient diet rations: protein, carbohydrate, and lipid. The last was either kept isocaloric to protein and carbohydrate rations or was hypercaloric. Measurements of the food intake were recorded at 12-h intervals with respect to the dark phase and to the light phase of the circadian cycle (24 h). Rats fed the hypercaloric lipid diet ration showed a significantly higher total energy intake compared with animals fed the isocaloric lipid diet ration. Also, in the hypercaloric group, the percentage of energy ingested as protein was significantly higher during both the light and dark phases, whereas the percentage of energy ingested as carbohydrate was significantly lower during the light phase and the 24-h cycle when compared with that of the isocaloric group. These results indicate that the caloric density of the lipid diet ration has differential effects on the diurnal/nocturnal energy intake and macronutrient choice and suggest that these feeding patterns may modify the outcome of experiments using macronutrient diet rations with different caloric density.

Fluoride Intensifies Hypercaloric Diet-Induced ER Oxidative Stress and Alters Lipid Metabolism
BACKGROUND Here, we evaluated the relationship of diet and F-induced oxidative stress to lipid metabolism in the liver of rats eating normocaloric or hypercaloric diets for two time periods (20 or 60 days). METHODS Seventy-two 21-day-old Wistar rats were divided into 2 groups (n = 36) based on the type of diet they were eating; each of these groups was then further divided into another two gr...

متن کاملLiver but not adipose tissue is responsive to the pattern of enteral feeding
Nutritional support is an important aspect of medical care, providing calories to patients with compromised nutrient intake. Metabolism has a diurnal pattern, responding to the light cycle and food intake, which in turn can drive changes in liver and adipose tissue metabolism. In this study, we assessed the response of liver and white adipose tissue (WAT) to different feeding patterns under nut...
متن کاملOne day of overfeeding impairs nocturnal glucose but not fatty acid homeostasis in overweight men
OBJECTIVE Overfeeding is associated with insulin resistance. Studies on animals suggest this is likely due to disruption of fatty acid metabolism and increased plasma free fatty acid (FFA) availability during the night. We tested the hypothesis that overfeeding induces insulin resistance and increases nocturnal but not daytime plasma FFA availability in human subjects. DESIGN AND METHODS We m...
