Myostatin plays a robust, negative role in controlling muscle mass. A disruption of myostatin function by transgenic expression of its propeptide (the 5'region, 866 nucleotides) results in significant muscle growth (Yang et al., 2001. Mol Rep Dev 60:351-361). Studies from myostatin and the propeptide transgene mRNA indicated that myostatin mRNA was detected at day 10.5 postcoitum in fetal mice. Its level remained low, but increased by 180% during the postnatal fast-growth period (day 0-10). An early, high-level postnatal expression of the transgene was identified as being responsible for a highly muscled phenotype. High-fat diet induces adiposity in rodents. To study the effects of dietary fat on muscle growth and adipose tissue fat deposition in the transgenic mice, we challenged the mice with a high-fat diet (45% kcal fat) for 21 weeks. Transgenic mice showed 24%-50% further enhancement of growth on the high-fat diet compared to the normal-fat diet (P = 0.004) from 17 to 25 weeks of age. The total mass of the main muscles of transgenic mice showed a 27% increase on the high-fat diet compared to the normal-fat diet (P = 0.004), while the white adipose tissue mass of the transgenic mice was not significantly different from that of wild-type mice fed a normal-fat diet (P = 0.434). The high-fat diet induced wild-type mice developed 190% greater mass of white adipose tissues compared to the normal-fat diet (P = 0.008), which primarily resulted from enlarged adipocytes. These results demonstrate that disruption of myostatin function by its propeptide shifted dietary fat utilization toward muscle tissues with minimal effects on adiposity. These results suggest that enhancing muscle growth by myostatin propeptide or other means during the early developmental stage may serve as an effective means for obesity prevention.  相似文献

Endothelial dysfunction develops as a result of oxidative stress and is responsible for diabetic vascular complications. We investigated the effects of selenium on endothelial dysfunction and oxidative stress in type 2 diabetic rats. Male Wistar rats were divided into five groups: controls, untreated diabetics, and diabetics treated with 180, 300, 500 mcg/kg selenium each day. Diabetes was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of low dose streptozotocin to rats fed a high fat diet. Endothelium-dependent and -independent relaxations were measured in the thoracic aorta. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) mRNA expressions were analyzed using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Fasting blood glucose, lipid profile, lipid oxidation, insulin and nitric oxide were measured in blood samples. Malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase levels were measured in liver samples. RT-PCR showed that selenium reversed increased NADPH oxidase expression and decreased eNOS expression to control levels. Selenium also improved the impairment of endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation in the diabetic aorta. Selenium treatment significantly decreased blood glucose, cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and enhanced the antioxidant status in diabetic rats. Our findings suggest that selenium restores a normal metabolic profile and ameliorates vascular responses and endothelial dysfunction in diabetes by regulating antioxidant enzyme and nitric oxide release.  相似文献

Macrophage inflammatory protein-related protein-2 (MRP-2) is a new member of the CC chemokine family that is recently identified in murine macrophages. MRP-2 is involved in leukocyte trafficking and activation, which can be implicated in inflammatory diseases including atherosclerosis. Little is known about the involvement of this novel chemokine MRP-2 in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. To explore the possible association of the MRP-2 with atherosclerosis, we investigated the effects of atherogenic diet on MRP-2 expression in mice. Male C57BL/6 mice were fed a high fat and cholesterol diet (20% fat and 1.5% cholesterol) or a control diet based on AIN-76 for 5, 10, or 14 weeks. The levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and F2-isoprostanes in plasma were measured using appropriate enzymatic assays. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) and MCP-1 release by peritoneal macrophages was determined by ELISA. The mRNA expression level of the MRP-2 was measured by RT-PCR. The levels of total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and 8-iso-prostaglandin F2 alpha in plasma, well-known indexes of atherosclerosis, were significantly increased in the high fat and cholesterol diet group compared to those in the control. A significant increase in the TNF alpha and MCP-1 production by macrophages was also observed in the group fed high fat and cholesterol diet. The mRNA expression of MRP-2 was upregulated by oxLDL treatment in vitro and feeding a high fat and cholesterol diet in vivo at the late stage of atherosclerosis. These results suggest that MRP-2 may be an important contributing factor in the development of atherosclerosis.  相似文献

Schizophrenia patients are often obese or overweight and poor dietary choices appear to be a factor in this phenomenon. Poor diet has been found to have complex consequences for the mental state of patients. Thus, this study investigated whether an unhealthy diet [i.e. high fat diet (HFD)] impacts on the behaviour of a genetic mouse model for the schizophrenia risk gene neuregulin 1 (i.e. transmembrane domain Nrg1 mutant mice: Nrg1 HET). Female Nrg1 HET and wild‐type‐like littermates (WT) were fed with either HFD or a control chow diet. The mice were tested for baseline (e.g. anxiety) and schizophrenia‐relevant behaviours after 7 weeks of diet exposure. HFD increased body weight and impaired glucose tolerance in all mice. Only Nrg1 females on HFD displayed a hyper‐locomotive phenotype as locomotion‐suppressive effects of HFD were only evident in WT mice. HFD also induced an anxiety‐like response and increased freezing in the context and the cued version of the fear conditioning task. Importantly, CHOW‐fed Nrg1 females displayed impaired social recognition memory, which was absent in HFD‐fed mutants. Sensorimotor gating deficits of Nrg1 females were not affected by diet. In summary, HFD had complex effects on the behavioural phenotype of test mice and attenuated particular cognitive deficits of Nrg1 mutant females. This topic requires further investigations thereby also considering other dietary factors of relevance for schizophrenia as well as interactive effects of diet with medication and sex.  相似文献

This study investigated the effect of Cheonggukjang on mRNA levels of hepatic acyl-CoA synthase (ACS), carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT-I), acyl-CoA oxidase (ACO) and uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2), and on serum lipid profiles in C57BL/6J mice. Thirty male C57BL/6J mice were divided into three groups; normal diet (ND), high fat diet (HD) and high fat diet with 40% Cheonggukjang (HDC). Energy intake was significantly higher in the HDC group than in the ND and HD groups. The HDC group normalized in weight gain, epididymal and back fat (g/100 g) accumulation which are increased by high fat diet. Serum concentrations of triglyceride and total cholesterol in the HDC were significantly lower than those in the HD group. These results were confirmed by hepatic mRNA expression of enzymes and protein (ACS, CPT-1, ACO, UCP2) which is related with lipid metabolism by RT-PCR. Hepatic CPT-I, ACO and UCP2 mRNA expression was increased by Cheonggukjang supplementation. We demonstrated that Cheonggukjang supplement leads to increased mRNA expressions of enzymes and protein involved in fatty acid oxidation in liver, reduced accumulation of body fat and improvement of serum lipids in high fat diet fed mice.  相似文献

To find out whether the expressions of these adipocyte markers are influenced by oriental medicine, obesity rats induced by high fat diet (HFD) for 8 weeks were injected with 50 mg/100 g body weight adlay seed crude extract (ACE), daily for 4 weeks. The results are summarized as follows: HFD + ACE group significantly reduced food intakes and body weights. Weights of epididymal and peritoneal fat were dramatically increased in HFD groups compared with those of normal diet (ND) group but significantly decreased more in HFD + ACE group than those of HFD + saline group (sham). Those of brown adipocytes were increased in HFD + ACE group compared to ND and sham groups but there was no significant difference. The sizes in white adipose tissue (WAT) by microscope were markedly larger in HFD groups than ND group but considerably reduced in HFD + ACE group compared with sham group. The levels of triglyceride, total-cholesterol and leptin in blood serum were significantly decreased in HFD + ACE group compared to those of sham group. Leptin and TNF-alpha mRNA expressions in WAT of rats were remarkably increased more in sham group than in those of ND group. Those of HFD + ACE group were significantly decreased compared with those of sham group, especially. TNF-alpha mRNA expression in HFD + ACE group was declined more than that of ND group. In conclusion, treatments of ACE modulated expressions of leptin and TNF-alpha and reduced body weights, food intake, fat size, adipose tissue mass and serum hyperlipidemia in obesity rat fed HFD. Accordingly, the oriental medicine extract, adlay seed crude extract, can be considered for obesity therapies controlling.  相似文献

The effects of the electric stress on glucose oxidation, cyclic adenosine 3', 5'-monophosphate (AMP) accumulation and 45Ca++ efflux in response to glucose were studied in pancreatic islets isolated from rats fed on a control (C) or a high fat diet (F) for 12 weeks. The half of rats on each diet were subjected to electrical shocks in the random time schedule for 1 hr per day for the last 3 weeks of the feeding period (group C-S and F-S). The remaining rats were not given any shocks (group C-NS and F-NS). The rats in F-S group had the high levels of plasma epinephrine, dopamine and blood glucose. The basal content of cyclic AMP after 20 min of incubation with 2.8 mM glucose was decreased in islets from F-S group without affecting insulin release. After 20 min of incubation with 25 mM glucose, the cyclic AMP content in islets from F-S group, which was identical with that in F-NS group, was only 50% of that in C-S group. Insulin release in response to high glucose was significantly inhibited in islets from F-S group. In spite of a remarkable increase of cyclic AMP content in islets from C-S group, insulin release did not differ from that in C-NS group. Glucose (16.7 mM)-stimulated 45Ca++ efflux from the perfused islets was greatly inhibited by the high fat diet rather than by stress. The rate of glucose oxidation with 16.7 mM glucose was decreased in islets from F-S group. It is suggested that the decreased insulin release in response to glucose provoked by the combined effects of the feeding of a high fat diet and electric stress may be mediated by changes of the adenylate cyclase-cyclic AMP system on the plasma membrane of the B-cell or be related to changes in glucose metabolism in islets.  相似文献

The incidence of type 2 diabetes, the most common cause of diabetic retinopathy (DR), is rapidly on the rise in developed countries due to overconsumption of calorie rich diets. Using an animal model of diet-induced obesity/pre-diabetes, we evaluated the impact of a diet high in saturated fat (HFD) on O-GlcNAcylation of retinal proteins, as dysregulated O-GlcNAcylation contributes to diabetic complications and evidence supports a role in DR. Protein O-GlcNAcylation was increased in the retina of mice fed a HFD as compared to littermates receiving control chow. Similarly, O-GlcNAcylation was elevated in retinal Müller cells in culture exposed to the saturated fatty acid palmitate or the ceramide analog Cer6. One potential mechanism responsible for elevated O-GlcNAcylation is increased flux through the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP). Indeed, inhibition of the pathway's rate-limiting enzyme glutamine-fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase (GFAT) prevented Cer6-induced O-GlcNAcylation. Importantly, expression of the mRNA encoding GFAT2, but not GFAT1 was elevated in both the retina of mice fed a HFD and in retinal cells in culture exposed to palmitate or Cer6. Notably, expression of nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 1 (NR4A1) was increased in the retina of mice fed a HFD and NR4A1 expression was sufficient to promote GFAT2 mRNA expression and O-GlcNAcylation in retinal cells in culture. Whereas palmitate or Cer6 addition to culture medium enhanced NR4A1 and GFAT2 expression, chemical inhibition of NR4A1 transactivation repressed Cer6-induced GFAT2 mRNA expression. Overall, the results support a model wherein HFD increases retinal protein O-GlcNAcylation by promoting NR4A1-dependent GFAT2 expression.  相似文献
