We have demonstrated that food restriction that is associated with weight loss can produce a type of cardiac dysfunction similar to that produced by diabetes. As in diabetic atria, the food-restricted atria had a 2-fold increase in contraction force, rate of force development, and rate of force decline compared with controls. Both food-restricted and diabetic atria could tolerate anoxia better than controls. The contractile function of the whole perfused heart from the food-restricted rat was reduced, as in the case of the diabetic heart. As the left ventricular volume was increased, the left ventricular developed pressure and the rate of rise and fall in pressure were significantly reduced in both food-restricted and diabetic hearts, compared with those of age- and weight-matched controls. The positive inotropic responses of atria and whole perfused heart to increasing concentrations of extracellular calcium were similarly altered in food-restricted and diabetic hearts. The possible molecular mechanisms of these findings and some of the differences observed between food-restricted and diabetic hearts are discussed.

Background: While intermittent fasting leads to weight loss and improved glucose metabolism, food insecurity, the insufficient access to food for a healthy life, is associated with obesity and adverse cardiometabolic health, especially in women. We aimed to characterize the effects of intermittently restricted feeding on energy balance and glucose tolerance in female mice.
Methods: Female C57BL/6J mice were fed a high-fat, high-sucrose diet and intermittently food restricted to 60% of control littermates' ad libitum intake, starting at weaning and until week 19.

(1) Background: Modulators of the Neuropeptide Y (NPY) system are involved in energy metabolism, but the effect of NPY receptor antagonists on metabolic-dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), a common obesity-related comorbidity, are largely unknown. In this study, we report on the effects of antagonists of the NPY-2 receptor (Y2R) in comparison with empagliflozin and semaglutide, substances that are known to be beneficial in MASLD. (2) Methods: Diet-induced obese (DIO) male Wistar rats were randomized into the following treatment groups: empagliflozin, semaglutide ± PYY, the Y2R antagonists JNJ 31020028 and a food-restricted group, as well as a control group.

Psychosocial and environmental factors, including loss of natural reward, contribute to the risk of drug abuse. Reward loss has been modeled in animals by removal from social or sexual contact, transfer from enriched to impoverished housing, or restriction of food. We previously showed that food restriction increases the unconditioned rewarding effects of abused drugs and the conditioned incentive effects of drug-paired environments.

Introduction: The incretin hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) slows gastric emptying, increases satiety and enhances insulin secretion. GLP-1 receptor agonists, such as liraglutide, are used therapeutically in humans to improve glycaemic control and delay the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In UCD-T2DM rats, a model of polygenic obesity and insulin resistance, we have previously reported that daily liraglutide administration delayed diabetes onset by >4 months.

This study examined the impact of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) on executive function using a series of operant conditioning-based tasks in rats. Sprague Dawley rats were randomized to either non-diabetic (n = 12; 6 male) or diabetic (n = 14; 6 male) groups. Diabetes was induced using multiple low-dose streptozotocin injections.
