Differential Effects of Fatty Acids on an In Vitro Model of Hepatocyte Steatosis
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by excess hepatic fat accumulation in the setting of metabolic syndrome. It ranges from simple hepatic fat accumulation (steatosis), to steatosis with inflammation and fibrosis (steatohepatitis), to end-stage liver disease. Progression of NAFLD has been modeled by a 2 hit hypothesis. The first hit, characterized by triglyceride accumulation,...June 13, 2014
Comparison of Gut Microbial Community in Infants and Toddlers with and without Phenylketonuria
Prebiotics are non-digestible food components that selectively stimulate the growth and/or activity of beneficial bacteria in the colon and contribute to improved human health. Infants and young children with inborn errors of metabolism (IEM), such as phenylketonuria (PKU) consume low amounts of dietary sources of prebiotics because of their comprehensive dietary restriction of phenylalanine-containing foods....March 21, 2014
Association between objective measurement of walking activity and neighborhood walkability
Walking is the most common form of physical activity (PA) among U.S. adults, and is the most popular choice of aerobic PA to improve overall health. Although walking has received increased attention in recent years as an important means to improve population health, more than half of U.S. adults do not get the amount of...Metabolome response to glycemic load in a randomized, controlled, crossover feeding trial in humans
Observational studies show habitual dietary patterns with low glycemic load (LGL), compared to high glycemic load (HGL), are protective against chronic conditions such as cancer, cardiovascular disease and obesity. The objective of this study was to investigate the metabolomes’ response to glycemic load as measured in plasma and urine. We expected to differentiate between diets...December 13, 2013
A comparison of the effect of consuming a fructose-, glucose-, or aspartame-sweetened beverage on ad libitum caloric intake
The per capita consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) has increased in tandem with the obesity epidemic. While many epidemiological and clinical studies have shown a positive association between consumption of SSB and increased risk of weight gain, the exact mechanism by which the consumption of SSB leads to weight gain remains unclear. The purpose of...Previous page Next page
