Exercise modifies fatty acid perception and metabolism

Obesity is a major public health issue, which is associated with several chronic diseases. In rodents, voluntary wheel running (VWR) is a type of physical activity that influences ingestive behaviour. This study investigates the possible function of VWR activity in the perception of fat taste and if it mitigates the immediate effects of HFD ingestion. After 5 weeks of dietary regimen, male C57BL/6 mice were arbitrarily assigned to either a sedentary (SED) lifestyle or free access to a running wheel.
