Cafeteria diet during lactation and/or post-lactation altered lipid profile/lipid peroxidation and increased anxiety-like behavior in male rat offspring

Cafeteria diet decreases sucrose preference and increases the sensitivity of risperidone in the caloric intake of Wistar rats

“…Most of the calories consumed by the Cafeteria group were fats, as the diet had foods rich in that macronutrient. This high consumption of saturated fats may have contributed to the greater weight gain and accumulation of abdominal adipose tissue presented by these Caloric intake of Wistar rats animals, reproducing results of other studies, where cafeteria diets similar to the one in the present study were used (de Souza et al, 2017;Teixeira et al, 2020) but also with a greater variety of foods (Oliveira et al, 2015;Bortolin et al, 2018;Guedine et al, 2018) that efficiently induced obesity. The accumulation of abdominal adipose tissue is one of the main factors to classify an individual with obesity (Gonz alez- Muniesa et al, 2017;Romieu et al, 2017;Scheja and Heeren, 2019).…”

“…Induction of hyperphagia with palatable diets has already been demonstrated with animals of adult age (Macedo et al, 2012;de Oliveira et al, 2014;Oliveira et al, 2015;Schimidt et al, 2018) or younger (Lazzarino et al, 2017;Teixeira et al, 2020), resulting in fat accumulation (Macedo et al, 2012;de Oliveira et al, 2014;Oliveira et al, 2015;Lazzarino et al, 2017;Schimidt et al, 2018;Teixeira et al, 2020). However, recent studies indicate that the cafeteria diet from birth to adulthood can be more harmful to the animals' eating behavior (Guedine et al, 2018;Rocha-Gomes et al, 2019;Teixeira et al, 2020), as it increases the chances of compromising neurotransmitter systems (Wright et al, 2011;Rincel et al, 2016;Wolfrum and Peleg-Raibstein, 2019) as it is instituted during periods of brain vulnerability (Semple et al, 2013;Spencer, 2017).…”

High-Salt Diet in the Pre- and Postweaning Periods Leads to Amygdala Oxidative Stress and Changes in Locomotion and Anxiety-Like Behaviors of Male Wistar Rats

“…The ratio of entries (considered as the animal inserting all the four paws) in each arm (closed or open) and the time spent in them were evaluated ( Teixeira et al, 2020 ). In addition, to analyze the risk assessment of animal, the frequency of head-dipping (the head flexes below the edge of the open arms), rearing (frequency with which the animal stands on its hind legs), and grooming (frequency of time which the animal spent licking or scratching itself while stationary) was recorded ( Plescia et al, 2015 ; Guedine et al, 2018 ; Riul and Almeida, 2020 ).…”

Cafeteria diet from birth to adulthood promotes hepatic steatosis and redox imbalance in Wistar rats

“…Cafeteria diets have already demonstrated to induce liver steatosis (Zeeni et al, 2015;Gomez-Smith et al, 2016). In addition, studies have shown that when this type of diet is applied in early stages of life, the impact on the development of obesity and fatty liver, may be more robust (Sampey et al, 2011;Guedine et al, 2018). However, the use of this type of diet rises criticisms.…”
