Article Synopsis
  • The study examined how different types of dietary fatty acids and energy restriction affect obese gene expression in rats.
  • Energy restriction significantly reduced weight gain and visceral fat, while circulating leptin levels increased with ad libitum feeding but weren't affected by the type of fat consumed.
  • Unsaturated fats, especially safflower oil, led to higher ob mRNA levels, but these levels didn’t always correspond with circulating leptin, suggesting that diet and energy intake play complex roles in leptin regulation.
