Differential progression of unhealthy diet-induced hepatocellular carcinoma in obese and non-obese mice [PDF]
Background Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) ranks first among liver diseases in Western countries. NAFLD is typically associated with obesity and diabetes, however it also develops in lean individuals without metabolic syndrome.

Exercise Improves Host Response to Influenza Viral Infection in Obese and Non-Obese Mice through Different Mechanisms. [PDF]
Obesity has been associated with greater severity of influenza virus infection and impaired host defense. Exercise may confer health benefits even when weight loss is not achieved, but it has not been determined if regular exercise improves immune ...

Oxidative Stress-Dependent Coronary Endothelial Dysfunction in Obese Mice. [PDF]
Obesity is involved in several cardiovascular diseases including coronary artery disease and endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial Endothelium vasodilator and vasoconstrictor agonists play a key role in regulation of vascular tone.

Fish oil suppresses obesity more potently in lean mice than in diet-induced obese mice but ameliorates steatosis in such obese mice [PDF]
ABSTRACT This study sought to clarify the antiobesity effects of fish oil (FO) in terms of prevention and amelioration. An isocaloric diet composed of lard or FO was given to lean C57BL/6J mice for the study of prevention and high-fat diet-induced obese (DIO) mice for the study of amelioration for 4 weeks.

Obesity Alters cytokine signaling and gut microbiome in septic mice
Sepsis is a leading cause of mortality. Plasma cytokine levels may identify those at increased risk of mortality from sepsis. Our aim was to understand how obesity alters cytokine levels during early sepsis and its correlation with survival. Six-week-old

Cilia, tubby mice, and obesity [PDF]
Primary cilia have been previously linked to the central regulation of satiety. The tubby mouse is characterized by maturity-onset obesity and blindness. A recent paper demonstrates molecular defects in trafficking of ciliary GPCRs in the central neurons of tubby mice, underscoring the role of ciliary signaling in the pathogenesis of this monogenic ...
