triacylglycerol/obesity

Fish oil, containing (n-3) PUFA, is associated with a moderate reduction in cardiovascular disease through a multifactorial mechanism involving a decrease in plasma lipids and anticoagulant activity. Two intervention studies on subjects at risk were performed to determine the relation of these 2

OBJECTIVE Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which may reduce the risk for coronary heart disease (CHD), can be synthesized at low rates from α-linolenic acid (ALA). The rate-limiting step for this conversion is the Δ6-desaturation of ALA into stearidonic acid (SDA). Thus providing oils rich in SDA may

OBJECTIVE This study investigated the effect of a 15-week life style intervention (hypocaloric diet and regular exercise) on glucose tolerance, skeletal muscle lipids and muscle metabolic adaptations in 14 female and 9 male morbidly obese subjects (age: 32.5±2.3 years, body mass index: 46.1±1.9 kg

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare postprandial lipemia, oxidative stress, antioxidant activity, and insulinemia between a three and six isocaloric high-carbohydrate meal frequency pattern in obese women. METHODS In a counterbalanced order, eight obese women completed two, 12-h

Medium- and long-chain triacylglycerols (MLCT) were synthesized from rapeseed oil (RO), one kind of commonly used edible long-chain triacylglycerols, and then delivered to high-fat diet-induced obese rats. Compared with RO, MLCT consumption exhibited more potent effects on reducing body and tissue

OBJECTIVE To investigate effects of medium- and long-chain fatty acid triacylglycerols (MLCT) on body fat and serum lipid in overweight and hypertriglyceridemic subjects. METHODS A double-blind, controlled clinical trial was carried out, in which 112 subjects with hypertriglyceridemia were enrolled

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of 1-year ad libitum consumption of diacylglycerol oil on body weight and serum triglyceride in Japanese men and women. DESIGN/SUBJECTS/INTERVENTION: In a 1-year double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel trial with clinic visits at

In contrast to the consumption of long-chain triacylglycerols (LCT), consumption of medium- and long-chain triacylglycerols (MLCT) reduces the body fat and blood triacylglycerols (TAG) level in hypertriacylglycerolemic Chinese individuals. These responses may be affected by BMI because of

Chronic consumption of fish and fish oil high in (n-3) PUFA reduces triacylglycerols (TG) but may increase oxidative stress, whereas consumption of soy isoflavones may reduce oxidative stress. Elevated serum TG and oxidative stress are considered cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, but the

Dietary effects of medium-chain triacylglycerols (MCT) and fucoxanthin (Fc) on abdominal fat weight were determined using KK-Ay obese mouse. Experimental diet contained MCT(0.9%), Fc (0.1%), or MCT (0.9%) +Fc (0.1%). The abdominal fat weight of mice fed with Fc was significantly lower than that of

BACKGROUND Medium-chain triacylglycerols (MCT), omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3-PUFA) and micronutrients may be useful for weight and cardiometabolic risk management. However, studies analyzing the effect of a combination of both in individuals at increased cardiometabolic risk are lacking.

The triacylglycerol lowering effect of fatty fish and fish oils is well recognized, however we recently showed that salmon intake resulted in higher serum triacylglycerol concentration in obese Zucker fa/fa rats. Since effects of salmon fillet have never before been studied in rats, the objective of

BACKGROUND Obese children and adults, particularly those with abdominal obesity, have an elevated serum triacylglycerol concentration. Furthermore, triacylglycerol concentrations are generally higher in whites than in blacks, and the relation of obesity to triacylglycerol concentrations may be

The effects of a hyperlipidic diet containing medium-chain triacylglycerols (MCT) or long-chain triacylglycerols (LCT) and a control diet on the lipid composition of liver and adipose tissue in the Zucker fa/fa and Fa/- rat are compared. The weights of liver and adipose tissues of the rats fed the

In this study, we wished to determine whether 30 min of moderate-intensity exercise, corresponding to minimal recommended guidelines, attenuates post-prandial capillary triacylglycerol concentrations in obese men. Ten middle-aged, centrally obese men (age 46 +/- 2 years, body mass index 31.6 +/- 1.0
