Over the past four decades, there has been an unprecedented increase in the prevalence of overweight and obesity, contributing to the burden of chronic disease. The overarching aim of this thesis was to determine plausible dietary mechanisms for nutrient and nutrient combinations and weight gain, and to examine trends in the populations nutrient intakes between 1983 to 2012. A secondary aim was to focus on the socio-demographic determinants of poor dietary choices; first in the whole population and then in young adults. Secondly, trends in adult’s nutrient intakes were determined using the cro

Abstract:

The worldwide prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents has risen dramatically. Obesity is a complex and multifactorial condition associated with an increased risk of multiple comorbidities, like diabetes, arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Most of them have been already described since pediatric age. However, precocious biomarkers for identifying "high risk" subjects to an unhealthy metabolic profile are lacking, especially in pediatrics. Thus, one of the aims of this Ph.D. project was to investigate the development of obesity-re

Abstract:

Obesity results from expansion of white adipose tissue. The inability of white adipose tissue to adequately store lipids leads to ectopic deposition of lipids in non-adipose tissue that can lead to systemic insulin resistance. It is well known that insulin resistance correlates with inflammation of adipose tissue in obese animals and humans. Decreasing inflammation in the adipose tissue has been proven as a therapeutic strategy for improvement of insulin sensitivity in vivo. Numerous factors secreted by immune cells, including macrophages, have been suggested as regulating adipose tissue insul

Fe concentrations of both the high fat or control diet (4.5 vs 3.8 kcal/g) were set at: 5, 50 or 500 mg Fe/kg diet. Mice fed the high fat diets had significantly higher percentage body fat (17.9%) compared to mice fed control diets (5.3%, P<0.001). Among obese mice, dietary Fe levels did not significantly influe

Abstract:

The studies in this thesis aimed to develop and characterise a rodent model of meal feeding that would mimic aspects of human eating behaviour, leading to the overconsumption of calories and ultimately to obesity. In seeking to identify potential mechanisms that might be involved in the initiation of meals, a palatable scheduled feeding regime was utilised to induce a substantial food intake over short periods of time in rodents. This was done by providing scheduled access to a palatable diet for a 2h-period each day without imposed caloric restriction during the remainder of the day. Initiall

Skeletal muscle is a major contributor to basal metabolic rate and mitochondrial proton leak in skeletal muscle can account for up to 50 % of resting oxygen consumption. The overall aim of this research is to explore differences in mitochondrial function in human primary myotubes from ODS and ODR subjects. Subsets o

Obesity and drug abuse share common neural circuitries including the mesocoticolimbic and striatal dopamine reward system.

For the outcome study, rats were randomly assigned a high-fat (HF) or a low-fat (LF) diet for 8 wk. Following the 8-wk HF-diet exposure, rats were segregated into obesity-prone and obesity-resistant groups based on maximum and minimum body weight gain, respectively, and neurobehav

Abstract:

Ageing and obesogenic diets are two prominent problems in the developed world, as both lead to an increase in body mass and insulin resistance, which can then result in further pathophysiologies, such as type 2 diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease. Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) contributes to development of body weight gain and insulin resistance through negatively regulating leptin and insulin signalling, respectively. Liver-specific ptp1b deletion from birth improves insulin sensitivity, lipid metabolism and decreases endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. However, as a therapy
