This study evaluated the effects of different dietary non-protein energy sources on hepatic metabolism and endocrine of barramundi. Fish were fed iso-energy diets (18 MJ kg–1) with two types of non-protein energy source in the experimental group and a regular diet was used as the control. The feeding trial lasted 56 days. In the present study, CPT1 and SCD expression in fish fed high lipid diet were upregulated and liver lipid metabolism was more active than the control group. Serum biochemical parameters including serum glucose, serum triacylglycerol and serum cholesterol were significantly increased. The IGF-I and IGF-II expressions were significantly upregulated, and growth performances were improved in fish fed the high lipid diet. When barramundi were fed with the high carbohydrate diet, GK expression was downregulated and cPEPCK expression was upregulated, indicating that glycogen might accumulate in liver. The fluctuation of serum biochemical parameters and the growth performance were not significantly different compared to the control group. In conclusion, high lipid diet can shorten the raising period, but it causes the change of metabolic level and the increase of useless adipose tissue; The high carbohydrate diet did not significantly improve the growth performance, and no significant metabolic abnormalities were observed, indicating that carbohydrate has the potential to be the feed energy supply source for juvenile barramundi. The results provide insights for further understanding the availability of non-protein energy sources in the diet of juvenile barramundi.

Administration of morphine is said to increase fat consumption among rats allowed to self-select nutrients. However, fats represent a diverse group of molecules, differing in metabolic and sensory properties. Despite this, lipid has yet to be manipulated as a variable in drug-stimulated nutrient selection studies. To determine whether lipid source can impact daily and morphine-stimulated (1, 3, and 10 mg/kg) diet intake, rats were provided with a choice between a high-fat and high-carbohydrate diet in three regimens in which the source of fat was varied between vegetable shortening, lard, or corn oil. Daily and morphine-stimulated diet selections were determined under all conditions. Under daily feeding conditions, rats ate more of the high-lipid diet compared with the high-carbohydrate diet when vegetable shortening or lard was the main lipid alternative, but lipid and carbohydrate intake did not differ when corn oil was the main lipid alternative. When rats were stimulated with morphine, the percentage of lipid increased relative to baseline intake only when the lipid diets were the preferred alternatives (i.e., vegetable shortening or lard). When preference between lipid and carbohydrate diets was neutral (i.e., corn oil condition), morphine did not enhance lipid consumption. These results indicate that morphine increases consumption of total energy or preferred diets and not lipid per se.

We examined the effect of dietary carbohydrate intake on post-exercise glycogen recovery. Male Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) mice were fed moderate-carbohydrate chow (MCHO, 50%cal from carbohydrate) or high-carbohydrate chow (HCHO, 70%cal from carbohydrate) for 10 days. They then ran on a treadmill at 25 m/min for 60 min and administered an oral glucose solution (1.5 mg/g body weight). Compared to the MCHO group, the HCHO group showed significantly higher sodium-D-glucose co-transporter 1 protein levels in the brush border membrane fraction (p = 0.003) and the glucose transporter 2 level in the mucosa of jejunum (p = 0.004). At 30 min after the post-exercise glucose administration, the skeletal muscle and liver glycogen levels were not significantly different between the two diet groups. The blood glucose concentration from the portal vein (which is the entry site of nutrients from the gastrointestinal tract) was not significantly different between the groups at 15 min after the post-exercise glucose administration. There was no difference in the total or phosphorylated states of proteins related to glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis in skeletal muscle. Although the high-carbohydrate diet significantly increased glucose transporters in the jejunum, this adaptation stimulated neither glycogen recovery nor glucose absorption after the ingestion of post-exercise glucose.

Amomum tsao-ko Crevost et Lemaire (Zingiberaceae) is a medicinal herb found in Southeast Asia that is used for the treatment of malaria, abdominal pain, dyspepsia, etc. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of an ethanol extract of Amomum tsao-ko (EAT) on obesity and hyperlipidemia in C57BL/6 mice fed a high-carbohydrate diet (HCD). First, the mice were divided into five groups (n = 6/group) as follows: normal diet, HCD, and HCD+EAT (100, 200, and 400 mg/kg/day), which were orally administered with EAT daily for 84 days. Using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) analysis, we found that EAT inhibited not only body-weight gain, but also visceral fat and subcutaneous fat accumulation. Histological analysis confirmed that EAT decreased the size of fat tissues. EAT consistently improved various indices, including plasma levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, atherogenic index, and cardiac risk factors, which are related to dyslipidemia—a major risk factor for heart disease. The contents of TC and TG, as well as the lipid droplets of HCD-induced hepatic accumulation in the liver tissue, were suppressed by EAT. Taken together, these findings suggest the possibility of developing EAT as a therapeutic agent for improving HCD-induced obesity and hyperlipidemia.

1. The appearance and disappearance of typhoid bacilli in the faeces in these four cases bore no relation to changes in the diet nor to the physical state of the stools, but the later they appeared the shorter was the duration of their appearance.On the disappearance of typhoid bacilli from the stools the intestinal flora tended to become more simple.2. B. coli was the only organism invariably present at every examination.3. Streptococci were very much more abundant in the earlier stages of the disease, when milk formed the greater part of the diet, than in the later stages.4. In two cases where boils occurred on the body the causative organism had previously been isolated in large numbers from the faeces.5. With stools slightly alkaline to litmus the flora in these cases was relatively simple and fermentative in type. There is no apparent advantage, therefore, in giving a high carbohydrate diet except in cases of marked alkalinity and putrefaction.
