Does increased aerobic capacity reduce susceptibility to acute high-fat diet-induced weight gain?
Rats with high intrinsic aerobic capacity have reduced susceptibility to 1-week HFD-induced weight gain, which is associated with greater food intake adaptability to control intake of energy-dense HFDs, reduced weight gain per kcal consumed, and greater brown adipose tissue mass and thermogenic gene expression.
These results suggest that different variants in the EPPIN gene may have different relationships with idiopathic male infertility and men carrying these variants have a decreased or increased risk of abnormal semen parameters associated with male infertility.
