Role of gut microbiota in the aetiology of obesity: proposed mechanisms and review of the literature [PDF]

, 2016
The aetiology of obesity has been attributed to several factors (environmental, dietary, lifestyle, host, and genetic factors); however none of these fully explain the increase in the prevalence of obesity worldwide.

Flavonoid-enriched extract from Hippophae rhamnoides seed reduces high fat diet induced obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, and hepatic triglyceride accumulation in C57BL/6 mice

Pharmaceutical Biology, 2017
Context: Flavonoid-enriched extract from Hippophae rhamnoides L. (Elaeagnaceae) seed (FSH) has shown beneficial effects in anti-hypertension and lowering cholesterol level. However, evidence for its efficacy in treating obesity is limited.

Effects of methamphetamine on locomotor activity and thalamic gene expression in leptin-deficient obese mice [PDF]

, 2017
Leptin is an adipose-derived hormone that regulates energy balance. Leptin receptors are expressed in extrahypothalamic sites and several reports showed that leptin can influence feeding and locomotor behavior via direct actions on dopaminergic neurons ...

Allergic Airway Responses in Obese Mice [PDF]

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2007
Epidemiologic data indicate an increased incidence of asthma in the obese.To determine whether obese mice exhibit augmented pulmonary responses after allergen sensitization and challenge.Lean, wild-type (C57BL/6), obese ob/ob, and obese db/db mice were sensitized to ovalbumin (OVA), and then challenged with aerosolized OVA or phosphate-buffered saline (

Alterations in the mammary gland and tumor microenvironment of formerly obese mice

BMC Cancer, 2023
Background Obesity is a risk factor for breast cancer, and women with obesity that develop breast cancer have a worsened prognosis. Within the mammary gland, obesity causes chronic, macrophage-driven inflammation and adipose tissue fibrosis.

Ciliary ARL13B prevents obesity in mice.

bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2023
Cilia are near ubiquitous small, cellular appendages critical for cell-to-cell communication. As such, they are involved in diverse developmental and homeostatic processes, including energy homeostasis. ARL13B is a regulatory GTPase highly enriched in cilia.

Obesity-induced changes in lipid mediators persist after weight loss. [PDF]

, 2017
BackgroundObesity induces significant changes in lipid mediators, however, the extent to which these changes persist after weight loss has not been investigated.Subjects/methodsWe fed C57BL6 mice a high-fat diet to generate obesity and then switched the ...

Animal models of NASH: getting both pathology and metabolic context right [PDF]

, 2015
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of referral to liver clinics, and its progressive form, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), can lead to cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease.

Pyruvate induces torpor in obese mice [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2018
Significance Mice can reduce their body temperature and metabolic rate and enter torpor when they are subjected to cold, calorie deprivation, or administration of some metabolic inhibitors. Here we show that administration of pyruvate, a key metabolic intermediate and substrate for gluconeogenesis, induces torpor in obese mice ...

Obesity and metabolic syndrome induce hyperfiltration, glomerulomegaly, and albuminuria in obese ovariectomized female mice and obese male mice

Menopause, 2021
Abstract Objective: Obese patients with metabolic syndrome have a high risk of chronic kidney disease. The prevalence of obesity, metabolic syndrome, and insulin resistance increase in women after menopause, as does the risk of chronic kidney disease.
