Abstract:Objective: To investigate the effect of nutritional recovery with rice bran on energy balance, leptin and insulin levels. Methods: Weaned Wistar rats were fed on a 17% (Control − C) or 0.5% (Aproteic − A) protein diet for 12d. After this, rats were kept on a C diet (C) or recovered with control (Recovered Control − RC) or control plus recovered rice bran diet (Recovered Rice Bran − RRB). Results: Despite the increased food intake, group A exhibited lower carcass fat associated to low serum leptin. RRB and RC g… Show more
