Outline of Final Research Achievements

Rat selected predominantly high-fat meal rather than usual meal when rats can decide which to choose. However, rat selected usual meal but not the high-fat meal if rats were allowed to run by using the wheel running apparatus. In other words, the palatability of the running is superior than the palatability of the high-fat meal, and it showed that a high-fat meal intake was suppressed by the running behavior. On the other hand, the palatability of the high-fat meal was clearly restored when rats used to a run. The reason for both the increase of leptin and accumulation of body fat by high fat meal intake under the non-running condition was not high caloric intake. It may be that high fat meals contain the factors which cause the leptin increase or suppression of running behavior. Furthermore, the running behavior prevented the inflammation of hypothalamus and small intestinal by the high-fat meal feeding, and prevented the insulin resistance of liver and the muscle.
