Food and water intake in gold thioglucose-induced obese Charles River mice. 1975

P De Laey, and C Dent, and A C Terry, and E H Quinn

Food and water intake have been measured during the dynamic phase of gold thioglucose-induced obesity in Charles River mice. Regressions of gain in weight with food and water consumption were calculated in young growing animals and in adults fed ad libitum. The influence of fat content in the diet (2.5 and 8% fat) and environmental temperature (68degrees or 79degrees F) was estimated on the regressions. Excessive gain in weight without hyperphagia was observed in growing animals, in adults fed on a fat-enriched diet or maintained within a thermoneutral environment (79degrees F). But a significant hyperphagia was observed in adults fed with a conventional diet and maintained at 68degrees F or in growing animals as a sequela of food deprivation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D009765 Obesity A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).
D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.

D006046 Gold A yellow metallic element with the atomic symbol Au, atomic number 79, and atomic weight 197. It is used in jewelry, goldplating of other metals, as currency, and in dental restoration. Many of its clinical applications, such as ANTIRHEUMATIC AGENTS, are in the form of its salts.

D000367 Age Factors Age as a constituent element or influence contributing to the production of a result. It may be applicable to the cause or the effect of a circumstance. It is used with human or animal concepts but should be differentiated from AGING, a physiological process, and TIME FACTORS which refers only to the passage of time.
