Fig. 2 Representative images of the macroscopic appearance of the aorta of a cholesterol-fed ApoE−/− mouse (a) and a normally fed C57BL/6 control mouse (b).
High-sugar-fed larvae experienced significant increases in percent body fat compared with normally fed animals (1.2 fold; Fig. 3A).
The causes of death — cancer, heart disease — were the same in both the underfed and the normally fed monkeys.
For example, the Nile River delta is retreating rapidly, widening the submerged portion of the continental margin, because the Aswan High Dam has trapped much of the sediment normally fed to the delta front.
Recent tests show that the animals on restricted diets, including Canto and Eeyore, two other rhesus monkeys at the primate research center, are in indisputably better health as they near old age than Matthias and other normally fed lab mates like Owen and Johann.
The monkeys who had spent 20 years on caloric restriction were in better health than their normally fed counterparts, and suffered less diabetes, cancer and heart disease, apparently confirming that caloric restriction holds off the degenerative diseases of aging in primates as well as rodents.
VEGF, VEGFR-2, ET-1 and ECE-1 (but not ET-A) mRNA expression was significantly lower (P < 0.05) in fasted versus normally fed animals.
Apolipoprotein E-negative (ApoE−/−) mice on a Western diet (n = 10) and normally fed adult C57BL/6 control mice (n = 4) were injected with 99mTc-maraciclatide (51.8 ± 3.7 MBq).
It was concluded that short-term feed deprivation detrimentally affected rumen health and milk yield in dairy cattle normally fed ad libitum, but had no effect on DM intake or milk composition.
VEGF protein levels were similar in the two groups, while all steroid (progesterone, testosterone, estradiol 17β) concentrations were significantly (P < 0.001) higher in CLs collected from fasted animals compared with those from normally fed gilts.
Eight prepubertal gilts were induced to ovulate and were randomly assigned to two groups: (A) n = 4, normally fed; and (B) n = 4, fasted for 72 h starting 3 days after ovulation.
