Various dietary @entity3363 have been linked to @entity28 and altered adipose metabolism; however, the influences of honey vs common sweeteners have not been fully explored. We hypothesized that in comparison with @entity969 , a honey-based diet would promote lower @entity1017 , @entity1386 , and related biomarkers (leptin, insulin, and adiponectin) as well as a better blood lipid profile. Thirty-six male @entity35 (228.1    12.5 g) were equally divided by weight into 2 groups (n = 18) and provided free access to 1 of 2 diets of equal energy densities differing only in a portion of the @entity1735 . Diets contained 20% @entity1735 (by weight of total diet) from either clover honey or @entity969 . After 33 days, epididymal fat pads were excised and weighed, and blood was collected for analyses of serum concentrations of lipids, @entity413 , and markers of @entity1386 and @entity32 . Body @entity1017 was 14.7% lower (P  <= .05) for @entity35 fed honey, corresponding to a 13.3% lower (P  <= .05) consumption of food/energy, whereas food efficiency ratios were nearly identical. Epididymal fat weight was 20.1% lower (P  <= .05) for @entity35 fed honey. Serum concentrations of @entity1674 and leptin were lower (P  <= .05) by 29.6% and 21.6%, respectively, and non-high-density lipoprotein @entity165 was higher (P  <= .05) by 16.8% for honey-fed @entity35 . No significant differences in serum total @entity165 , high-density lipoprotein @entity165 , adiponectin, C-reactive protein, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, @entity413 , or insulin were detected. These results suggest that in comparison with @entity969 , honey may reduce @entity1017 and @entity1386 , presumably due to lower food intake, and promote lower serum @entity1674 but higher non-high-density lipoprotein @entity165 concentrations.
