Effects of short-term refeeding after rapid or slow body mass reduction on body composition in adult rats

Abstract

We previously observed that digestive tract mass decreased more in rats experiencing rapid body mass (BM) reduction than in those undergoing slow BM reduction. To determine if BM reduction speed influences body composition after refeeding, rats were assigned to three groups. The control group (C) ate ad libitum, the slow group (S) received restricted food for 21 days to slowly reduce BM, and the rapid group (R) ate ad libitum for 18 days and fasted for the last 3 days to rapidly reach a BM comparable to that of S. Water was restricted for R on day 21. After the BM reduction, both R and S were re-fed ad libitum for 12 h and then were sacrificed with C 4-h later. The BM and masses of the carcass, adipose tissue, and small intestine in both R and S did not return to that of C during the 16-h recovery, although no differences were observed between R and S. The liver and stomach mass in both R and S recovered to that of C. The mass and water, protein, total lipid and glycogen content in the skeletal muscle did not differ between R and S. We concluded that body composition after short-term refeeding is not influenced by the speed of BM reduction.:

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
