Negative Influence of a Long-Term High-Fat Diet on Murine Bone Architecture by Hinrich Fehrendt, Thomas Linn, Sonja Hartmann, Gabor Szalay, Christian Heiss, Reinhard Schnettler, Katrin Susanne Lips

“…A correlation between obesity and bone metabolism is strongly assumed because adipocytes and osteoblasts originate from the same precursor cells and their differentiation is conversely regulated by the same factors. It is controversially discussed if obesity protects bone or leads to loss of bone mass. …”

Effects of defined voluntary running distances coupled with high‐fat diet consumption on the skeletal muscle transcriptome of male mice by Afrina Brishti, Sarah J. Johnson, Daniel G. Palmer, Md Obayed Raihan, Lin Yan, Shanon L. Casperson

“…Comparing exercise groups, we found that exercising at 50% resulted in the most differentially expressed transcripts with the MAPK and PPAR signaling pathways enriched in down‐ and up‐regulated genes, respectively. These results demonstrate that running distance impacts the adaptation of the skeletal muscle transcriptome to exercise and suggest that middle‐distance running may provide the greatest protection against high‐fat diet‐induced stress coupled with exercise.…”
