A high-carbohydrate diet induces greater inflammation than a high-fat diet in mouse skeletal muscle

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 53 (3), 2020
We previously reported that both the high-carbohydrate diet (HCD) and high-fat diet (HFD) given for two months promote lipid deposition and inflammation in the liver and brain of mice. The results obtained indicate a tissue-specific response to both diets. Herein, we compared the effects of HCD and HFD o...

Efecto de una dieta alta en grasas en el proceso de formación de cálculos biliares de colesterol

Rev. méd. Chile; 145 (9), 2017
Background: It is known that some nutrients play an important role in the development of cholelithiasis. Cholesterol is carried by micelles and vesicles in the bile. During the first stage of gallstone formation, cholesterol crystals derive from thermodynamically unstable vesicles. Aim: To determine the...

Exercise improved lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity in rats fed a high-fat diet by regulating glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) and musclin expression

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 49 (5), 2016
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of exercise training on triglyceride deposition and the expression of musclin and glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) in a rat model of insulin resistance. Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats (8 weeks old, weight 160±10 g) were fed a high-fat diet (40% calories from fat) a...

Influencia das dietas ricas em acidos graxos poliinsaturados e saturados sobre o sistema imunologico: estudo do metabolismo e funcionalidade de linfocitos e macrofagos

Dieta rica (15//de oleo de soja) em acidos graxos poliinsaturados (AGPI) do W6 (I-W6), altera metabolismo de glicose e glutamina em linfocitos e macrofagos, comparada a dieta padrao com 3//de gordura. Alem disso, a I-W6 reduz a capacidade dos monocitos de migracao, fagocitose e producao de H2O2. Dieta ri...
