Dietary Fat, but Not Protein or Carbohydrate, Regulates Energy Intake and Causes Adiposity in Mice.

TL;DR: Mice regulate their food consumption primarily to meet an energy rather than a protein target, but this system can be over-ridden by hedonic factors linked to fat, but not sucrose, consumption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exceptionally low daily energy expenditure in the bamboo-eating giant panda

TL;DR: Morphological, behavioral, physiological, and genetic adaptations allow pandas to survive on their low-energy bamboo diet, and a unique mutation in the DUOX2 gene might explain these low thyroid hormone levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Very-low-protein diets lead to reduced food intake and weight loss, linked to inhibition of hypothalamic mTOR signaling, in mice

TL;DR: In this paper, the protein leverage hypothesis predicts that low dietary protein should increase energy intake and cause adiposity, however, very low protein did not cause increased food intake, and mice with activated hunger signaling ate less food, resulting in decreased body weight and improved glucose tolerance but not increased frailty.
Journal ArticleDOI
The carbohydrate-insulin model does not explain the impact of varying dietary macronutrients on the body weight and adiposity of mice.

TL;DR: The CIM does not explain the impact of dietary macronutrients on adiposity in mice and only the post-prandial insulin and fasting glucose levels followed the CIM's predictions.
