1. Each of nine volunteers was fed three different diets. The percentage of total daily energy provided by fat, carbohydrate and protein remained constant, but the nature of the fat and carbohydrate was altered. The first diet contained ordinary amounts of sucrose and predominantly saturated fat. During the second dietary period, fat remained saturated, but the quantity of sucrose was increased at the expense of complex carbohydrate. In the third dietary period, the sucrose intake remained high, but fat was supplied chiefly in the polyunsaturated form. 2. A small but statistically significant increase of serum fasting cholesterol and triglyceride was observed during the second dietary period, but on the third diet levels of both lipids fell to concentrations not significantly different from those seen on the first diet.

Microalgae Chlorella vulgaris is a microscopic green algae that has known potential as a source of food and medicine (functional food). However, the pharmacological capacity of this microalgae species against disease due to metabolic disorders is still not understood. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the effect of C. vulgaris extract on animal models of Drosophila melanogaster (Drosophila) which are fed high-sucrose diet (HSD). Wild type Drosophila was used in this study for 7 days of observation. Drosophila was divided into four groups consisting of the first group that was not treated as a control. The second group was treated with HSD (30%), the third group was treated with C. vulgaris extract (120 g/L) and the fourth group was treated with double treatment (HSD and C. vulgaris extract). The parameters observed included fecundity, hatchability, hemolymph glucose and triglyceride levels. The results showed that the extract of C. vulgaris was able to reduce the negative effects of giving HSD. The single treatment of C. vulgaris extract and double treatment between C. vulgaris extract and HSD significantly decreased levels of hemolymph glucose, triglycerides of Drosophila, while the parameters of fecundity and hatchability were significantly increased when compared to Drosophila which only received HSD treatment. The conclusion of this study is that C. vulgaris extract can be used as an antihyperglycemic agent which requires further study to prove the results that have been obtained.

AbstractMetabolism influences locomotor behaviors, but the understanding of neural curcuit control for that is limited. Under standard light-dark cycles, Drosophila exhibits bimodal morning (M) and evening (E) locomotor activities that are controlled by clock neurons. Here, we showed that a high-nutrient diet progressively extended M activity but not E activity. Drosophila tachykinin (DTk) and Tachykinin-like receptor at 86C (TkR86C)-mediated signaling was required for the extension of M activity. DTk neurons were anatomically and functionally connected to the posterior dorsal neuron 1s (DN1ps) in the clock neuronal network. The activation of DTk neurons reduced intracellular Ca2+ levels in DN1ps suggesting an inhibitory connection. The contacts between DN1ps and DTk neurons increased gradually over time in flies fed a high-sucrose diet, consistent with the locomotor behavior. DN1ps have been implicated in integrating environmental sensory inputs (e.g., light and temperature) to control daily locomotor behavior. This study revealed that DN1ps also coordinated nutrient information through DTk signaling to shape daily locomotor behavior.
