During the last decade, several G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) that respond to dietary lipid metabolites including free fatty acids (FFAs) have been discovered. These receptors have been implicated in metabolic processes and inflammation. Consequently, several of the receptors have attracted
Specific Aims: There is considerable epidemiological evidence that demonstrates associations between added sugar/sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and increased risk for or prevalence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes (T2D), metabolic syndrome, and gout.
Adolescents are the highest consumers of sugar sweetened beverages (SSB) potentially because their developing brains are most susceptible to the rewarding neural effects of sugar consumption. Thus, we specifically target this population (adolescents) to understand neural mechanisms involved in
Non- alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) occurs in 30% of the adult US population (Luther, J., et al., 2015). Eating large amounts of fructose (a dietary sugar) increases liver fat accumulation and worsens NAFLD. In addition, fructose consumption has been shown to greatly increase
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is one of the greatest health challenges worldwide. The disease is strongly associated with obesity, and develops via pre-diabetic conditions, where insulin resistance and low-grade inflammation play an important role, to T2D, where failure of the pancreatic beta-cell to

Diet-related diseases, such as diabetes and obesity, have become pervasive global health challenges, so much so that they are being called epidemics. The problem is particularly acute in the United States where two-thirds of adults and one-third of children are overweight or obese. A key contributor
Need for proposed research: High quality systematic reviews and meta-analyses of controlled trials represent the highest level of evidence to support dietary guidelines and public health policy development. As HFCS has gained increasing popularity as a popular sweetener over the past ~50 years,
Background: Sugars have emerged as one of the most important public health concerns. Attention has focused particularly on fructose-containing sugars (fructose, sucrose, high fructose corn syrup, honey, etc), which collectively have been indicted as drivers of various cardiometabolic complications.
Background: Sugars have emerged as one of the most important public health concerns. Attention has focused squarely on fructose-containing sugars (fructose, sucrose, high fructose corn syrup [HFCS], etc.). Collectively, these sugars have been indicted as drivers of the obesity epidemic and its and
The overall objectives of this study are to determine whether a Melt Organic baking blend can alter energy balance towards a negative energy balance by enhancing thermic effect of food and improving feelings of satiety relative to a control, corn oil, in overweight and obese adolescents.
This study
The proposed study will be undertaken according to a double-blind randomized placebo controlled cross-over design with 3 treatment phases: 1- high DHA, 2- High EPA, 3- Control. Each treatment phase will last 10 weeks and will be separated by 8-week washouts. Participants will be randomized to one of
