Metabolic Effects in C57BL/6J Mice Fed a High-Fat Western Diet Supplemented with Watermelon Flesh, Rind, and Skin and Other Whole Foods

Creator:

Becraft, Alexandra R.

Abstract:

Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is rich in lycopene and citrulline and has high phenolic content and antioxidant capacity. Previous studies demonstrate the health benefits of watermelon intake on improved blood pressure regulation along with others. Similarly, cherries, raspberries, walnuts and green tea are rich in anthocyanins, polyphenols, and polyunsaturated fatty acids...

Metabolic Implications of Red Raspberry Polyphenol Supplementation in High Fat-Fed C57BL/6J Mice

Creator:

Pierce, Gavin W.

Abstract:

Objective: Red raspberries are rich in polyphenols and fiber, relatively low in sugar compared with other fruits, and have been demonstrated to have favorable effects on energy homeostasis in mice. However, it has been unclear precisely which compounds within red raspberries possess the greatest bioactivity, and their mechanism of action....

Relative Health Effects of Intake of High-Fat Diets Enriched with Raspberry Fiber and Raspberry Polyphenol in C57B/J6 Mice

Creator:

Sturm, Marlena L.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Consumption of raspberry products have been observed to produce healthful effects and reduce weight gain and positively shift metabolism in mice fed obesigenic diets. In the past, our lab has successfully shown a reduction in weight gain for mice consuming RPC+HF vs. mice fed HF alone. Currently, there is...
