AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine how nutritional recovery with rice bran affects energy balance, leptin, and insulin levels in rats.
- Rats were initially fed low and normal protein diets, then switched to either a regular diet or a diet supplemented with rice bran for recovery.
- Results indicated that while increased food intake was noted in one group, neither rice bran nor regular recovery altered energy balance or hormone levels like leptin and insulin.
Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of nutritional recovery with rice bran on energy balance, leptin and insulin levels.
Methods: Weaned Wistar rats were fed on a 17% (Control - C) or 0.5% (Aproteic - A) protein diet for 12d. After this, rats were kept on a C diet (C) or recovered with control (Recovered Control - RC) or control plus recovered rice bran diet (Recovered Rice Bran - RRB).
Results: Despite the increased food intake, group A exhibited lower carcass fat associated to low serum leptin. RRB and RC groups showed lower carcass weight and energy intake and expenditure. Energy expenditure was positively associated with food intake and carcass weight. Negative correlations between HOMA-IR and energy expenditure and energy intake were observed.
Conclusion: Nutritional recovery with rice bran did not modify energy balance, leptin and insulin levels.
