Biomarkers of Metabolic Adaptation to High Dietary Fats in a Mouse Model of Obesity Resistance
METABOLITES, 14(1).
author keywords: body composition; metabolic inflexibility; metabolic rate; dietary fats; skeletal muscle remodeling; glucose tolerance; microbiome
TL;DR:
It is shown that NR mice developed healthier fat/lean body mass ratios compared with the obesity-prone (super-responder, SR) phenotypes by upregulating gene expression networks that promote the accumulation of type 2a, fast-twitch, oxidative muscle tissues.

Functional recovery following traumatic brain injury in rats is enhanced by oral supplementation with bovine thymus extract
FASEB JOURNAL, 38(3).
author keywords: autoantibodies; autophagy; glandular therapy; nutrition; oral tolerance; phagocytosis; RNA-Seq
TL;DR:
The potency of a nutritional supplement containing nuclear fraction of bovine thymus in enhancing the functional recovery from TBI is demonstrated, for the first time, in enhancing the functional recovery from TBI.

Obesity-Resistant Mice on a High-Fat Diet Display a Distinct Phenotype Linked to Enhanced Lipid Metabolism
NUTRIENTS, 16(1).
author keywords: dietary fats; energy substrate; body composition; metabolic rate; individual variability; personalized nutrition
TL;DR:
NR mice showed an increased ability to metabolize excessive dietary fats in skeletal muscle at the expense of reduced exercise capacity that persisted for the duration of the study, underscore the need for further comprehensive investigations into the mechanisms of obesity resistance.

Berries containing anthocyanins with enhanced methylation profiles are more effective at ameliorating high fat diet-induced metabolic damage
FOOD AND CHEMICAL TOXICOLOGY, 111, 445–453.
author keywords: Bioactive food components; Polyphenols; Obesity; Diabetes; Bioenergetics; Functional food
MeSH headings : Animal Feed; Animals; Anthocyanins / chemistry; Diet; Diet, High-Fat / adverse effects; Energy Metabolism; Fruit / chemistry; Lipid Metabolism; Male; Metabolic Diseases; Methylation; Mice; Mice, Inbred C57BL; Rubus / chemistry
TL;DR:
It is shown that consumption of berries containing anthocyanins with enhanced methylation profiles (malvidin and petunidin) is more effective at reducing high fat diet-induced metabolic damage in the C57BL/6 mouse model of polygenic obesity.

Metabolic Effects of Berries with Structurally Diverse Anthocyanins
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR SCIENCES, 18(2).
Contributors: J. Overall n , S. Bonney n, n, A. Beermann n, M. Grace n , D. Esposito n , M. Lila n , S. Komarnytsky n
author keywords: berry; gut microbiome; obesity; inflammation; functional food
MeSH headings : Animal Feed; Animals; Anthocyanins / chemistry; Anthocyanins / metabolism; Body Composition; Body Weight; Chromatography, High Pressure Liquid; Dietary Supplements; Feces / chemistry; Fruit / metabolism; Gastrointestinal Microbiome; Glucose / metabolism; Humans; Insulin Resistance; Mice; Molecular Structure; Oxygen Consumption
TL;DR:
Examination of effects of six berries with structurally diverse anthocyanin profiles on development of metabolic risk factors in the C57BL/6 mouse model of polygenic obesity showed a prominent discrepancy between biological activities of delphinidin/malvidin-versus cyanidin-type anthocianins that could be explained by differences in their structure and metabolism in the gut.
