Soda intake influences phenotype, antioxidants and inflammatory status in high protein-fed wistar rats.

An increasing population of people, especially young adults who exercise, consume high protein diets along with carbonated drinks. While there are numerous studies on the effect of high protein diets, there is a need to understand how protein diets in combination with carbonated drinks impact physiology. In order to assess these effects on wistar rats' phenotype, antioxidants and inflammatory profiles, 64 wistar rats were divided into dietary groups of 8 male and 8 female animals each.

Neuroprotective effects of methyl jasmonate in male Wistar rats exposed to delayed acetic acid-induced ulcerative colitis: involvement of antioxidant status, GFAP, and IBA-1 immunoreactivities.

Neurobehavioral deficits have been severally reported as a comorbid outcome in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). This study evaluated neurological changes in the experimental model of IBDs, as well potential protective effects of methyl jasmonate (MJ). The study used the acetic acid model of colitis and thereafter delayed the healing process by the administration of indomethacin (Indo) (2 mg/kg, SC).

Oxidative stress and inflammatory response to high dietary fat and carbonated soda intake in male and female Wistar rats.

Objective: An increasing population in many countries consume diets high in fat and refined sugars (often in carbonated soda). Although high-fat diets have been extensively studied, less attention has been paid to carbonated soda. The aim of this study was to investigate the combined effects of a high-fat diet and soda consumption on oxidative stress and inflammation in Wistar rats.

Gestational Nutrition as a Predisposing Factor to Obesity Onset in Offspring: Role for Involvement of Epigenetic Mechanism.

Maternal lifestyle has been implicated as a predisposing factor in the development of metabolic disorders in adulthood. This lifestyle includes the immediate environment, physical activity and nutrition. Maternal nutrition has direct influence on the developmental programming through biochemical alterations and can lead to modifications in the fetal genome through epigenetic mechanisms.

Maternal exposure to Bonny Light Crude Oil Altered Reproductive indices in Male and Female offspring of Wistar rats.

In this study, the effects of maternal exposure to Bonny Light Crude Oil (BLCO) on reproductive functions of the offspring was investigated in Wistar rats. Ten pregnant rats were divided into two groups (n=5). Group 1 served as the control, it was administered 0.
