Topiramate reduces energy and fat gains in lean (Fa/?) and obese (fa/fa) Zucker rats.
TL;DR: The present results provide sound evidence for the ability of TPM to reduce fat and energy gains through reducing energetic efficiency in both lean and obese Zucker rats.

TL;DR: The nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)γ modulates the expression of numerous genes involved in glucose and lipid homeostasis and plays a critical role in adipocyte differentiation.
Effects of the estrogen antagonist EM-652.HCl on energy balance and lipid metabolism in ovariectomized rats.
Frédéric Picard,Yves Deshaies,Josée Lalonde,Pierre Samson,Claude Labrie,Alain Bélanger,Fernand Labrie,Denis Richard +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that EM-652.HCl can be considered as an effective agent to prevent OVX-induced obesity and its related abnormalities in lipid metabolism and glucose/insulin homeostasis and reduces cardiovascular risk factors associated with obesity such as hyperlipidemia and insulin resistance.

The effects of topiramate and sex hormones on energy balance of male and female rats.
TL;DR: In female rats, the effects of TPM on fat and energy gains were clearly not influenced by the sex hormone status of the rats, suggesting that TPM can enhance insulin sensitivity.

Effects of Rimonabant (SR141716) on Fasting-Induced Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis and Neuronal Activation in Lean and Obese Zucker Rats
Christian Doyon,Raphael G. P. Denis,Elena-Dana Baraboi,Pierre Samson,Josée Lalonde,Yves Deshaies,Denis Richard +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that CB1 blockade does not prevent the hypersensitivity to food deprivation occurring at the level of HPA axis and ARC activation in the obese Zucker rats, and CB1 antagonism from exerting beneficial effects on energy and glucose metabolism.
