Western diet feed

Western diet feed is the abbreviation of a kind of high fat, high sugar and high cholesterol feed. As the name suggests, this kind of feed is named after simulating the typical western dietary structure. Its main feature is that it contains 41kcal% fat, and the fat is mainly provided by anhydrous cream. In addition, in terms of carbohydrates, sucrose accounts for the majority, which also shows the characteristics of Western food with more sweets; In addition, 0.15% cholesterol is added to the feed. Since anhydrous cream contains about 0.3% cholesterol, the content of total cholesterol in Western diet feed is ~0.21%, which is obtained by referring to the average cholesterol level in Western diet survey. The control feed corresponding to the Western diet feed includes low-fat (containing 10kcal% fat), with or without 0.15% cholesterol, which can be selected by researchers according to their own research purposes. Western dietary feeds are widely used to induce obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis, hypertension, atherosclerosis and metabolic syndrome. With reference to the world-famous laboratory animal feed supplier, we use 10g corn oil (vegetable oil) to replace 10g anhydrous cream to provide the necessary fatty acids C18:2 and C18:3, so as to make the fatty acid composition of the whole feed more reasonable.
In addition, our company also has Mediterranean diet feed, which uses most soybean protein isolate instead of casein, and the proportion of fruit and vegetable powder exceeds 75%. The modified formula well simulates the Mediterranean diet model, providing a good choice for various research topics related to metabolism.
