Diet-Induced Thermogenesis as Measured by Exogenous Norepinephrine Injections in High Fat Diet - Fed Rats: A Pilot Study

It is presently believed that brown adipose tissue (BAT) is an important tissue in the control of obesity because it has the propensity to increase energy expenditure. The purpose of this study was to attempt to quantify the thermogenesis of BAT when four rats were exposed to a progression of low-fat to high-fat diet. Exogenous norepinephrine (NE) injections (dose of 0.25 mg/kg i.p.) were administered in order to elicit a temperature response, where increases in temperature indicate increased activity. Temperatures were measured via temperature sensing transponders that had been inserted at the following three sites: interscapular BAT (iBAT), the abdomen (core), and lower back (reference). Data showed increased BAT activity during acute (2-3 weeks) high fat diet (HFD) in comparison to low fat diet (LFD), but a moderate to marked decrease in BAT activity during chronic HFD (6-8 weeks) when compared to acute HFD. This suggests that while a HFD may initially stimulate BAT in the short-term, a long-term HFD diet may have negative effects on BAT activation.

Female ADHD

Description
The aim of this project is to create a trifold pamphlet that can raise awareness of female Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity/Impulsivity Disorder (ADHD). ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that has three types: inattentive type, hyperactive type, and combined type. Female individuals with ADHD can present their symptoms slightly differently than males with…

The aim of this project is to create a trifold pamphlet that can raise awareness of female Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity/Impulsivity Disorder (ADHD). ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that has three types: inattentive type, hyperactive type, and combined type. Female individuals with ADHD can present their symptoms slightly differently than males with ADHD. Additionally females with ADHD are typically underdiagnosed and therefore go untreated for their ADHD. Females with ADHD show more emotional problems and comorbid internalizing disorders than males with ADHD show.
