Dietary fat-induced hyperphagia in rats as a function of fat type and physical form.

The influence of dietary fat on food intake and weight gain was assessed by feeding adult female rats diets that differed in the type and form of fat, as well as in the availability of other macro- and micronutrients. Compared to chow-fed controls, the various fat diets increased total food intake by 4% to 27%. Specifically, rats fed chow and a separate source of fat (fat option diet) consumed more fat and total calories, and gained more weight when the fat source was emulsified corn oil rather than pure corn oil or was vegetable shortening rather than corn oil. However, corn oil and shortening had similar effects on caloric intake and weight gain when presented as emulsified gels. Also, pure and emulsified-gel forms of shortening did not differ in their effects on caloric intake and weight gain. Supplementing the vegetable shortening with micronutrients, however, enhanced its hyperphagia-promoting effect. The results of two-choice tests revealed that the rats' preferences for the orosensory properties of the various fat sources did not account for the differential hyperphagias obtained. Rather, it appears that long-term fat selection and caloric intake are influenced primarily by postingestive factors. Fat selection and total intake were determined not only by the fat source itself, but also by the other diet options. That is, rats selected more fat and consumed more calories when chow was the alternative food than when separate sources of carbohydrate and protein were available.

Long-term effects of consumption of full-fat or reduced-fat products in healthy non-obese volunteers: assessment of energy expenditure and substrate oxidation.

A study was performed to evaluate long-term (6-month) effects of consumption of full-fat products or reduced-fat products on energy and substrate metabolism. Subjects (age, 19 to 35 years; body mass index [BMI], 21 to 28 kg. m-2) were studied during a 36-hour stay in a respiration chamber, before (16 men) and in the third month (16 men) and sixth month (19 men and 17 women) of the study. The diet intervention caused, on average, a change in fat intake of (mean +/- SE) +23 +/- 31 g/d (P < .001) in the full-fat group and of -5 +/- 29 g/d (P .05) in the reduced-fat group. Twenty-four-hour energy expenditure (EE), sleeping metabolic rate (SMR), diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT), and EE for physical activity (ACT) were not different between the groups. Fat oxidation was significantly (P < .05) increased in the full-fat group and was not different from fat intake. During the 6 months of the study, body mass and fat mass were significantly increased in subjects of the full-fat group, whereas there were no changes in body mass or body composition in subjects of the reduced-fat group. It is concluded that in the long run, avoidance of a diet with full-fat products will promote body weight and fast stability.

Resistance to body fat gain in 'double-muscled' mice fed a high-fat diet.

OBJECTIVE: To determine if myostatin deficiency attenuates body fat gain with increased dietary fat intake. METHODS: Normal and myostatin-deficient mice were fed control (8-10 kcal %fat) and high-fat (HF) (45 kcal %fat) diets for a period of 8 weeks, starting at 2 months of age. Body composition, including percent body fat, lean mass, and fat mass, were measured using DXA. Serum adipokines were measured using a Beadlyte assay. RESULTS: Two-factor ANOVA revealed significant treatment x genotype interactions for body fat (g), percent body fat, and serum leptin. The HF diet significantly increased body fat, percent body fat, and serum leptin in normal mice but not in myostatin-deficient mice. CONCLUSION: Loss of myostatin function not only increases muscle mass in animal models but also attenuates the body fat accumulation that usually accompanies an HF diet.

Energy and macronutrient consumption of elementary school children served modified lower fat and sodium lunches or standard higher fat and sodium lunches.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the energy and macronutrient consumption of elementary school children served modified lower fat and sodium or typical higher fat and sodium school lunches. DESIGN: The intervention school received lunches with < 30% of energy from fat and < 1000 mg sodium. The control school received typical lunches with 35% of energy from fat and > 1000 mg sodium. Served lunches were analyzed from menus and consumed lunches were analyzed using USDA plate waste methodology. SUBJECTS: Eighty intervention and 80 control subjects matched for ethnicity and economic status. RESULTS: Intervention school menus were significantly lower for energy, sodium, and fat compared to the control school. From analysis of plate waste, children from both schools consumed approximately 25% less energy than served (p < 0.05). Consumption of fat as a percentage of total energy and consumption of sodium was significantly less for the intervention compared to the control school. Compensation for the lower fat meals by the intervention school children (eating greater portions of high fat items) was not evident as the percentage of energy from fat consumed was only 1.3% greater than the percentage which was served. CONCLUSIONS: Lunch meals in this study were consumed as served. Intervention school children served lower fat and sodium meals consumed less fat and sodium than control school children and did not selectively eat only higher fat and sodium items.

Fat preference and adherence to a reduced-fat diet.

The nature and mechanisms of altered food acceptability during adherence to a reduced-fat diet have not been characterized. These issues were assessed in healthy adults assigned to a reduced-fat diet excluding discretionary fat sources (n = 9), a similar diet permitting fat-modified products (n = 9) or no dietary modification (n = 9). Sensory responses to foods, body composition, and dietary intake were determined at baseline, monthly during 12 wk of diet adherence, and 12 followup wk. Marked and comparable reductions of fat intake were achieved in the experimental groups. Hedonic (ie, pleasantness) ratings for high-fat foods and preferred fat content of selected foods declined, but only in the group deprived of sensory exposure to fats. Thus, the frequency of sensory exposure to fats exerts a stronger influence on hedonic ratings of foods containing fat than total fat intake. The hedonic shift may promote long-term compliance with a reduced-fat diet.
