Acquired factors, such as excess body fat and physical inactivity, can elicit insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome in these people. Most people with insulin resistance have central obesity.

Patients with cardiac syndrome X also sometimes have lipid abnormalities.

One half of the dose was administered at 7.00-9.00 h; the remaining half of the dose was administered between 15.00-15.30 h.
  • test substances caused a decrease of the animals' 24h food intake to the percentages of food intake when compared to control as given in table 3 below.
  • mice Female Wistar rats (weight range 250-300 g; Charles River, Margate, Kent) were housed in pairs in polypropylene cages with solid floors and sawdust bedding at a temperature of 21 ⁇ 4°C and 55 ⁇ 20% humidity ⁇ Animals were maintained on a reverse phase light-dark cycle (lights off for 8 hours from 10.00-18.00 h) during which time the room was illuminated by red light. Animals had free access to powdered high fat diet (VRF1 plus 20% lard), ground chocolate, ground peanuts and tap water at all times. The three different diets were contained in separate glass feeding jars with aluminium lids (Solme- dia Laboratory Suppliers, Romford, Essex). Each lid had a 3-4 cm hole cut in it to allow access to the food.
  • Animals were housed in pairs for twelve weeks. At least two weeks before the start of the baseline readings, animals were housed individually in polypropylene cages with wire grid floors to enable the food intake of each rat to be recorded. Polypropylene trays with cage pads were placed beneath each cage to detect any food spillage.
  • test substance of example 2 was suspended in 1% Tylose MH50, 0.1% poloxamer 188 and administered by oral gavage (2 ml/kg). All dosing occurred at the onset of the 8 hours dark period (spanning the period immediately before and after lights out). The second treatments were given 4 hours after the first. Rats, feeding jars and water bottles were weighed (to the nearest 0.1 g) every day at the time of administration of vehicle or test substance. At each reading, the tray below each cage was examined for spilt food, which was returned to the appropriate jar before weighing. However, spillage of food from the feeding jars was negligible. Variations in body weight and energy levels of the different types of food were accounted for by expressing the food intake results in terms of kJ/kg rat weight. Water intake results were expressed in g/kg.
  • Carcasses were individually milled at the temperature of liquid nitrogen, mixed and two representative samples taken. Carcass water was determined by freeze-drying the samples to constant weight. Carcass fat was determined on the freeze-dried samples using a modified Soxhlet extraction protocol (petroleum ether at 40-60°C) with a Foss Soxtec ® HT2 system (Foss UK Ltd, Wheldrake, UK) according to the manufacturers recommended protocol. Carcass protein was determined using a micro-Kjeldahl procedure on the freeze-dried samples using a Foss 2012 ® digestion block and Foss 2200 ® distilling unit (Foss UK Ltd). Residual carcass ash was determined by firing the freeze-dried samples at high temperatures using a muffle ashing furnace. Repeat determinations of the chemical analysis parameters were performed as necessary (e.g. if the duplicate samples differed by more than 1%).
