Protein and amino acid intake in cafeteria fed obese rats

Physiology & Behavior
I LladóA Pons

Abstract

Food selection pattern and portal blood amino acid profile were examined in rats given a cafeteria diet. Compared to standard-diet fed rats, cafeteria-diet fed rats consumed more energy. Increase in energy intake was attributable to an increase in fat intake. Protein intake was slightly higher and carbohydrate intake remained constant and was similar to levels consumed by standard-diet fed rats. The cafeteria rats took up higher quantities of Phenylalanine+Tyrosine, Arginine, Histidine, Lysine, Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine, Threonine, and Glycine, lower quantities of Tryptophan and the same quantity of Methionine+Cysteine vs. control rats. Portal concentrations of Serine, Threonine, Tryptophan and Lysine were significantly higher in cafeteria-diet fed rats than in standard-diet fed rats. This can be interpreted in such a way that, on the whole, the quality of protein ingested by cafeteria and control rats is similar. No statistical differences in the ingestion of individual amino acids were observed between different days of the period of cafeteria diet feeding, thus the idea of a strict control of protein ingestion irrespective of the obese status is reinforced.

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.
