Objective
Exposure in utero to maternal diet can program offspring health and susceptibility to disease. Using C57BL6/JArc mice, we investigated how maternal dietary protein to carbohydrate balance influences male and female offspring appetite and metabolic health.
Methods
Dams were placed on either a low‐protein (LP) or high‐protein (HP) diet. Male and female offspring were placed on a food choice...
Key points
Night time/active phase food restriction for 6 h impaired glucose intolerance in young male and female mice.
Females displayed increased capacity for lipogenesis and triglyceride storage in response to a short daily fast.
Females had lower fasting insulin levels and an increased potential for utilizing fat for energy through β‐oxidation compared to males.
The need for the inclusion of...
Determining intake and subsequent digestion and absorption of nutrients is fundamental for understanding host plant quality for insect herbivores. This typically involves considerable time spent weighing leaf material, with various associated sources of error and inaccuracy. Biomarker techniques based on silicon (Si) for estimating food intake and utilisation are well described, but rarely used, because...
