Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is a major public health concern in the obese and type 2 diabetic populations. The high-fat lard diet induces obesity and fatty liver in C57BL/6J mice and suppresses expression of the PPAR-target gene, FA elongase 5 (Elovl5). Elovl5 plays a key role in MUFA and PUFA...
The incidence of obesity has increased in the U.S. until an obesity epidemic now exists. American consumers are acutely aware of the consequences of obesity and are increasingly associating the consumption of high-fat foods with having a negative impact upon their health. This has in turn forced producers to grow...
Activities of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hormone-sensitive
lipase (HSL) in adipose tissue, accumulation of carcass fat, and
serum triglyceride have been determined in meal-fed (MF) and
ad libitum-fed (AD) rats. At each feeding frequency, the animals
received diets providing total fat as 15% or 30% of calories and
polyunsaturated fatty...

The accumulation of excessive fat is a serious concern in both
the livestock production and human health fields. Obesity is a
condition of excessive energy storage in the form of body fat
( triacylglycerols ). The cellular basis for obesity is not yet
understood but numerous factors have been suggested....
Three experiments were conducted (1) to develop and characterize
polyclonal antibodies against ovine adipocyte plasma membranes (APM),
(2) to evaluate the effect of administering the developed antibodies to
lambs on lamb growth and carcass characteristics, and (3) to investigate
the possibility of using the developed antibodies to identify antigenic
components...
