Energy density in cafeteria diet induced hyperphagia in the rat

A cafeteria diet modifies the response to chronic variable stress in rats

“…Rats from the CAF groups were consuming biscuits the most, followed by standard HC food, chocolate, and finally peanut butter. Similar consumption patterns were found for these items in other studies (Shafat et al 2009). Food preference was not based on sugar content, since the biscuits and HC diet are lower in sugar relative to chocolate.…”

“…We used a CVS model in which rats were exposed sequentially, over a period of weeks, to a variety of mild stressors. We compared three types of diet: a standard high-carbohydrate diet, a highfat diet, and a cafeteria diet (Shafat et al 2009). The 'Cafeteria' diet refers to the offering of a number of 'cafeteria' type foods (high fat, energy, and sugar contents) (Rothwell and Stock 1988;Shafat et al 2009).…”

The 'Cafeteria' diet refers to the offering of a number of 'cafeteria' type foods (high fat, energy, and sugar contents) (Rothwell and Stock 1988;Shafat et al 2009). We chose the cafeteria diet because of its greater palatability and its lack of monotony when compared with the other diets.…”

Modulatory effect of grape-seed procyanidins on local and systemic inflammation in diet-induced obesity rats

“…After the quarantine, 46 rats were divided into two groups: a control group (12 animals) fed with a standard diet (Panlab A-03, Barcelona, Spain) and another group (36 animals) fed with a cafeteria diet consisting of bacon, sweets, biscuits with pâté, cheese, muffins, carrots, milk with sugar and water plus the standard diet [15]. Animals were fed ad libitum and the food was renewed daily.…”

Efeitos de um modelo de oferta e retirada de dieta de cafeteria sobre o comportamento alimentar e ansiedade em ratas

“…Tal modelo de dieta foi desenvolvido para estudar os mecanismos fisiológicos e comportamentais associados ao padrão ocidental de consumo alimentar, à obesidade e à doenças relacionadas à obesidade (SAMPEY et al, 2011;SCLAFANI;SPRINGER, 1976). Não há um consenso na literatura do que caracteriza uma dieta de cafeteria, sendo que estudos que utilizam dessa denominação oferecem desde ração misturada a itens alimentares de consumo humano, como leite condensado (EGUCHI et al, 2008), até frutas, legumes e castanhas, como banana, cenoura, amendoim, amêndoas, castanha de caju e castanha-do-pará (CHAVES et al, 2008;ESTEVE et al, 1994;SHAFAT;MURRAY;RUMSEY, 2009;WRIGHT;VOIGT, 2011). Apesar de palatáveis, tais alimentos não caracterizam a dieta moderna ocidental que a dieta de cafeteria objetiva simular, pois são ricos em nutrientes, carboidratos complexos, e gorduras insaturadas.…”
