The ongoing obesity epidemic is an indicator that traditional efforts towards diet change are insufficient, and interventions focusing mainly on restrictions of unhealthy food are of limited success. Therefore, approaches targeting food preferences should be integral in counteracting the current epidemic. However, food preferences are affected by a multitude of factors and are usually resistant to changes later in life.

Despite its notoriously mild phenotype, the dystrophin-deficient mdx mouse is the most common model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). By mimicking a human DMD-associated metabolic comorbidity, hyperlipidemia, in mdx mice by inactivating the apolipoprotein E gene (mdx-ApoE) we previously reported severe myofiber damage exacerbation via histology with large fibro-fatty infiltrates and phenotype humanization with ambulation dysfunction when fed a cholesterol- and triglyceride-rich Western diet (mdx-ApoE). Herein, we performed comparative lipidomic and metabolomic analyses of muscle, liver and serum samples from mdx and mdx-ApoE mice using solution and high-resolution-magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) H-NMR spectroscopy.

The gut fungi play important roles in human health and are involved in energy metabolism. This study aimed to examine gut mycobiome composition in obese subjects in two geographically different regions in China and to identify specific gut fungi associated with obesity. A total of 217 subjects from two regions with different urbanization levels [Hong Kong (HK): obese,  = 59; lean, = 59; Kunming (KM): obese,  = 50; lean,  = 49.

Background: Emerging evidence suggests that fasting could play a key role in cancer treatment. Its metabolic effects on gliomas require further investigation.

Purpose: To design a multi-voxel H/P MR-spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) protocol for noninvasive metabolic monitoring of cerebral, fasting-induced changes on an individual patient/tumor level, and to assess its technical reliability/reproducibility.

The fight against obesity is largely based on recommendations about lifestyle and therapies to initiate weight loss and, hopefully, to achieve and maintain an ideal weight. The failure of this approach is witnessed by the steady increasing rates of obesity worldwide. Lifestyle modifications yield mild weight loss with poor results in the long-term.
