The eating pattern is altered by high-fat diet-induced @entity28 . To clarify whether this is dependent on the @entity844 profile of the diet, the authors conducted two studies on adult female @entity35 fed normal-fat chow or high-fat diets with varying @entity844 composition. Eating pattern and body weight were assessed in @entity35 fed canola-based (low in @entity1718 ) or lard-based (moderate in @entity1718 ) diets for 7 days, and in animals fed chow or canola- or butter-based diets (rich in @entity1718 ) for 43 days. These parameters were also determined when restricted amounts of @entity258 - or butter-based diets were consumed for 25 days. Early exposure to canola or lard high-fat feeding or prolonged access to canola- or butter-based fat-rich diets (relative to chow feeding) did not alter the normal light-dark distribution of food and energy intake. All animals ingested most of their food during the dark phase. However, feeding the high-fat canola- and butter-based diets produced an altered eating pattern during the light phase characterized by a smaller number of meals, longer intermeal interval, and enhanced satiety ratio, and consumption of shorter-lasting meals than chow-fed animals. Relative to canola or chow feeding, butter-fed animals consumed a lower number of meals during the dark phase and had a higher eating rate in the light phase, but ate larger meals overall. Only butter feeding led to overeating and @entity28 . When given a restricted amount of @entity258 - or butter-based diet at the start of the light phase, @entity35 ate most of their food in that phase and diurnal rather than nocturnal feeding occurred with restriction. These findings underscore the role of @entity1718 and the resulting eating pattern alteration in the development of @entity28 .

XXXX caused by a specific circadian eating pattern.
