Objective: The effects of a very low‐carbohydrate (VLC), high‐fat (HF) dietary regimen on metabolic syndrome were compared with those of an isocaloric high‐carbohydrate (HC), low‐fat (LF) regimen in dietary obese rats. Research Methods and Procedures: Male Sprague‐Dawley rats, made obese by 8 weeks ad libitum consumption of an HF diet, developed features of the metabolic syndrome vs. lean control (C) rats, including greater visceral, subcutaneous, and hepatic fat masses, elevated plasma cholesterol levels, impaired glucose tolerance, and fasting and post‐load insulin resistance. Half of the obese rats (VLC) were then fed a popular VLC‐HF diet (Weeks 9 and 10 at 5% and Weeks 11 to 14 at 15% carbohydrate), and one‐half (HC) were pair‐fed an HC‐LF diet (Weeks 9 to 14 at 60% carbohydrate). Results: Energy intakes of pair‐fed VLC and HC rats were less than C rats throughout Weeks 9 to 14. Compared with HC rats, VLC rats exhibited impaired insulin and glycemic responses to an intraperitoneal glucose load at Week 10 and lower plasma triacylglycerol levels but retarded loss of hepatic, retroperitoneal, and total body fat at Week 14. VLC, HC, and C rats no longer differed in body weight, plasma cholesterol, glucose tolerance, or fasting insulin resistance at Week 14. Progressive decreases in fasting insulin resistance in obese groups paralleled concomitant reductions in hepatic, retroperitoneal, and total body fat. Discussion: When energy intake was matched, the VLC‐HF diet provided no advantage in weight loss or in improving those components of the metabolic syndrome induced by dietary obesity and may delay loss of hepatic and visceral fat as compared with an HC‐LF diet.  相似文献

To determine the influence of dietary fructose and glucose on circulating leptin levels in lean and obese rats, plasma leptin concentrations were measured in ventromedial hypothalamic (VMH)-lesioned obese and sham-operated lean rats fed either normal chow or fructose- or glucose-enriched diets (60% by calories) for 2 wk. Insulin resistance was evaluated by the steady-state plasma glucose method and intravenous glucose tolerance test. In lean rats, glucose-enriched diet significantly increased plasma leptin with enlarged parametrial fat pad, whereas neither leptin nor fat-pad weight was altered by fructose. Two weeks after the lesions, the rats fed normal chow had marked greater body weight gain, enlarged fat pads, and higher insulin and leptin compared with sham-operated rats. Despite a marked adiposity and hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance was not increased in VMH-lesioned rats. Fructose brought about substantial insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia in both lean and obese rats, whereas glucose led to rather enhanced insulin sensitivity. Leptin, body weight, and fat pad were not significantly altered by either fructose or glucose in the obese rats. These results suggest that dietary glucose stimulates leptin production by increasing adipose tissue or stimulating glucose metabolism in lean rats. Hyperleptinemia in VMH-lesioned rats is associated with both increased adiposity and hyperinsulinemia but not with insulin resistance. Dietary fructose does not alter leptin levels, although this sugar brings about hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance, suggesting that hyperinsulinemia compensated for insulin resistance does not stimulate leptin production.  相似文献

LU, HUIQING, ANNE BUISON, VIRGINIA UHLEY AND K-L CATHERINE JEN. Long-term weight cycling in female Wistar rats: effects on metabolism. Obes Res. Weight cycling (WC) induced by ad-lib and restricted high fat (HF) feeding has been shown to reduce final body weight but not body fat percent in female Wistar rats. We examined the metabolic consequences of this type of WC. Five groups of female Wistar rats were fed a HF diet and the sixth group was fed a low fat diet to serve as a control group. Of the five HF groups, four groups were weight cycled by ad-lib and restricted feeding of the HF diet One of these groups weight cycled three times (HFCYC group) while the remaining three groups weight cycled once only, corresponding to the first, second and the third cycle of the HFCYC group. HF feeding induced hyperinsulinemia, hypertriglyceridemia, insulin resistance and elevated adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase (AT-LPL) activity levels as compared to rats fed the low fat (LF) control diet. WC further increased blood insulin concentrations and insulin resistance in rats with three cycles of WC. However, blood pressure was not affected by HF feeding or WC. The magnitude of increase of AT-LPL was reduced in weight cycled, HF fed obese rats after 15 weeks refeeding. We concluded that even though WC did not enhance weight gain nor impair weight loss, it did facilitate the development of insulin resistance and may predispose animals to diabetes.  相似文献

Protein restriction during the suckling phase can malprogram rat offspring to a lean phenotype associated with metabolic dysfunctions later in life. We tested whether protein-caloric restriction during lactation can exacerbate the effect of a high-fat (HF) diet at adulthood. To test this hypothesis, we fed lactating Wistar dams with a low-protein (LP; 4% protein) diet during the first 2 weeks of lactation or a normal-protein (NP; 23% protein) diet throughout lactation. Rat offspring from NP and LP mothers received a normal-protein diet until 60 days old. At this time, a batch of animals from both groups was fed an HF (35% fat) diet, while another received an NF (7% fat) diet. Maternal protein-caloric restriction provoked lower body weight and fat pad stores, hypoinsulinemia, glucose intolerance, higher insulin sensitivity, reduced insulin secretion and altered autonomic nervous system (ANS) function in adult rat offspring. At 90 days old, NP rats fed an HF diet in adulthood displayed obesity, impaired glucose homeostasis and altered insulin secretion and ANS activity. Interestingly, the LP/HF group also presented fat pad and body weight gain, altered glucose homeostasis, hyperleptinemia and impaired insulin secretion but at a smaller magnitude than the NP-HF group. In addition, LP/HF rats displayed elevated insulin sensitivity. We concluded that protein-caloric restriction during the first 14 days of life programs the rat metabolism against obesity and insulin resistance exacerbation induced by an obesogenic HF diet.  相似文献

Human obesity and high fat feeding in rats are associated with the development of insulin resistance and perturbed carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. It has been proposed that these metabolic abnormalities may be reversible by interventions that increase plasma leptin. Up to now, studies in nongenetic animal models of obesity and in human obesity have concentrated on multiple injection therapy with mixed results. Our study sought to determine whether a sustained, moderate increase in plasma leptin, achieved by administration of a recombinant adenovirus containing the leptin cDNA (AdCMV-leptin) would be effective in reversing the metabolic abnormalities of the obese phenotype. Wistar rats fed a high-fat diet (HF) were heavier (P < 0.05), had increased fat mass and intramuscular triglycerides (mTG), and had elevated plasma glucose, insulin, triglyceride, and free fatty acids compared with standard chow-fed (SC) control animals (all P < 0.01). HF rats also had impaired glucose tolerance and were markedly insulin resistant, as demonstrated by a 40% reduction in insulin-stimulated muscle glucose uptake (P < 0.001). Increasing plasma leptin levels to 29.0 +/- 1.5 ng/ml (from 7.0 +/- 1.4 ng/ml, P < 0.001) for a period of 6 days decreased adipose mass by 40% and normalized plasma glucose and insulin levels. In addition, insulin-stimulated skeletal muscle glucose uptake was normalized in hyperleptinemic rats, an effect that correlated closely with a 60% (P < 0.001) decrease in mTG. Importantly, HF rats that received a control adenovirus containing the beta-galactosidase cDNA and were calorically matched to AdCMV-leptin-treated animals remained hyperglycemic, hyperinsulinemic, insulin resistant, and maintained elevated mTG. We conclude that a gene-therapeutic intervention that elevates plasma leptin moderately for a sustained period reverses diet-induced hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, and skeletal muscle insulin resistance, and that these improvements are tightly linked to leptin-induced reductions in mTG.  相似文献

Maternal overnutrition during suckling period is associated with increased risk of metabolic disorders in the offspring. We aimed to assess the effect of Vitis vinifera L. grape skin extract (ACH09) on cardiovascular and metabolic disorders in adult male offspring of rats fed a high-fat (HF) diet during lactation. Four groups of female rats were fed: control diet (7% fat), ACH09 (7% fat plus 200 mg kg?1 d?1 ACH09 orally), HF (24% fat), and HF+ACH09 (24% fat plus 200 mg kg?1 d?1 ACH09 orally) during lactation. After weaning, all male offspring were fed a control diet and sacrificed at 90 or 180 days old. Systolic blood pressure was increased in adult offspring of HF-fed dams and ACH09 prevented the hypertension. Increased adiposity, plasma triglyceride, glucose levels and insulin resistance were observed in offspring from both ages, and those changes were reversed by ACH09. Expression of insulin cascade proteins IRS-1, AKT and GLUT4 in the soleus muscle was reduced in the HF group of both ages and increased by ACH09. The plasma oxidative damage assessed by malondialdehyde levels was increased, and nitrite levels decreased in the HF group of both ages, which were reversed by ACH09. In addition, ACH09 restored the decreased plasma and mesenteric arteries antioxidant activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase in the HF group. In conclusion, the treatment of HF-fed dams during lactation with ACH09 provides protection from later-life hypertension, body weight gain, insulin resistance and oxidative stress. The protective effect ACH09 may involve NO synthesis, antioxidant action and activation of insulin-signaling pathways.  相似文献

A role for circadian neuroendocrine rhythms in the age-related development of obesity and insulin resistance was investigated in the male Sprague-Dawley rat. The phases and amplitudes of the plasma rhythms of several metabolic hormones (i.e. corticosterone, prolactin, insulin, and triiodothyronine) differed in lean, insulin-sensitive (3-week-old rats). insulin-resistant (8-week-old rats) and obese, insulin-resistant (44-week-old rats) animals. Simulation of the daily rhythms of endogenous corticosterone and prolactin by daily injections of the hormones at times corresponding to the peak levels found in 3-week-old rats reversed age-related increases in insulin resistance and body fat in older (5-6-month-old) rats. Ten such daily injections of corticosterone and prolactin in 12-14-week-old rats produced long-term reductions in body fat stores (30%). plasma insulin concentration (40%'). and insulin resistance (60%) (determined by a glucose tolerance test) measured 11-14 weeks after the treatment. Alterations in circadian neuroendocrine rhythms may account for age-related changes in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in the male Sprague-Dawley rat, and resetting of these rhythms by appropriately timed daily injections of corticosterone and prolactin may help maintain metabolism characteristic of younger animals.  相似文献

Consumption of a high-fat (HF) diet results in insulin resistance and glucose intolerance. Weight loss is often recommended to reverse these metabolic alterations and the use of a high-protein (HP), low-carbohydrate diet is encouraged. In lean rats, consumption of a HP diet improves glycemic control. However, it is unknown whether this diet has a similar effectiveness in rodents with impaired glucose tolerance. Rats were fed a HF or a chow (CH) diet for 6 weeks and then switched to a HP diet or a CH or pair-fed (PF) to the amount of kcals consumed per day by the HP group. Following the diet switch, body weight gain was attenuated as compared to HF rats, and similar between HP, CH, and PF rats. Despite similar weight progression, HP and PF rats had a significant decrease in body fat after 2 weeks, as compared to HF rats. In contrast, CH rats did not show this effect. Glucose tolerance was attenuated more quickly in HP rats than in CH or PF rats. These results indicate that a HP diet may be more effective than a balanced diet for improving glycemic control in overweight individuals.  相似文献

High-fat diets made with different fats may have distinct effects on body weight regulation and metabolism. In the present study, the metabolic effects of high-fat (HF) diets made with fish oil, palm oil, and soybean oil were compared with a low-fat diet in female Wistar rats that were either exercised (EX, swimming) or that remained sedentary as controls. Each adult rat was exposed to the same diet that their dams consumed during pregnancy and lactation. When they were 9 weeks old, rats began an EX regimen that lasted for 6 weeks. Twenty-four hours after the last EX bout, rats were sacrificed in a fasted state. It was observed that HF feeding of soybean oil induced more body weight and fat gain, as well as insulin resistance, as indicated by insulin/glucose ratios, than other oils. Female rats fed a HF diet made with fish oil had body weight and insulin sensitivity not different from that observed in low fat fed control rats. For rats fed HF diets made with soybean oil or palm oil, EX also exerted beneficial effects by reducing body fat %, blood insulin, triglyceride and leptin levels, as well as improving insulin sensitivity.  相似文献

Consumption of a high fat diet promotes obesity and poor metabolic health, both of which may be improved by decreasing caloric intake. Satiety-inducing ingredients such as dietary fibre may be beneficial and this study investigates in diet-induced obese (DIO) rats the effects of high or low fat diet with or without soluble fermentable fibre (pectin). In two independently replicated experiments, young adult male DIO rats that had been reared on high fat diet (HF; 45% energy from fat) were given HF, low fat diet (LF; 10% energy from fat), HF with 10% w/w pectin (HF+P), or LF with 10% w/w pectin (LF+P) ad libitum for 4 weeks (n = 8/group/experiment). Food intake, body weight, body composition (by magnetic resonance imaging), plasma hormones, and plasma and liver lipid concentrations were measured. Caloric intake and body weight gain were greatest in HF, lower in LF and HF+P, and lowest in the LF+P group. Body fat mass increased in HF, was maintained in LF, but decreased significantly in LF+P and HF+P groups. Final plasma leptin, insulin, total cholesterol and triglycerides were lower, and plasma satiety hormone PYY concentrations were higher, in LF+P and HF+P than in LF and HF groups, respectively. Total fat and triglyceride concentrations in liver were greatest in HF, lower in LF and HF+P, and lowest in the LF+P group. Therefore, the inclusion of soluble fibre in a high fat (or low fat) diet promoted increased satiety and decreased caloric intake, weight gain, adiposity, lipidaemia, leptinaemia and insulinaemia. These data support the potential of fermentable dietary fibre for weight loss and improving metabolic health in obesity.  相似文献

PurposeDiets rich in fat and energy are associated with metabolic syndrome (MS). Increased body iron stores have been recognized as a feature of MS. High-fat diets (HFs), excess iron loading and MS are closely associated, but the mechanism linking them has not been clearly defined. We investigated the interaction between dietary fat and dietary Fe in the context of glucose and lipid metabolism in the body.MethodsC57BL6/J mice were divided into four groups and fed the modified AIN-93G low-fat diet (LF) and HF with adequate or excess Fe for 7 weeks. The Fe contents were increased by adding carbonyl iron (2% of diet weight) (LF+Fe and HF+Fe).ResultsHigh iron levels increased blood glucose levels but decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. The HF group showed increases in plasma levels of glucose and insulin and insulin resistance. HF+Fe mice showed greater changes. Representative indices of iron status, such hepatic and plasma Fe levels, were not altered further by the HF. However, both the HF and excess iron loading changed the hepatic expression of hepcidin and ferroportin. The LF+Fe, HF and HF+Fe groups showed greater hepatic fat accumulation compared with the LF group. These changes were paralleled by alterations in the levels of enzymes related to hepatic gluconeogenesis and lipid synthesis, which could be due to increases in mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress.ConclusionsHigh-fat diets and iron overload are associated with insulin resistance, modified hepatic lipid and iron metabolism and increased mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress.  相似文献

This study aimed at investigating whether the weight loss due to energy‐restricted high‐fat diets is accompanied with parallel improvements in metabolic markers and adipose tissue inflammation. Eight‐week‐old C57BL/6J mice were given free access to a low‐fat (LF) or a high‐fat (45% of energy from fat—HF) diet for 6 months. Restricting intake of the HF diet by 30% (HFR) during the last 2 months of the HF feeding trial decreased fasting plasma insulin, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMAIR), and plasma triglyceride levels and improved hepatic steatosis compared to ad libitum HF feeding, indicating an improved metabolic profile. Further, analysis of gonadal white adipose tissue (GWAT) gene expression by microarray and quantitative PCR analyses demonstrated that HFR downregulated expression of genes linked to cell and focal adhesion, cytokine‐cytokine receptor interaction, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER)–associated degradation pathway. However, HFR had no effect on circulating plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 (PAI‐1) and nonesterified fatty acid levels, which were persistently higher in both HF and HFR groups compared to the LF group. Furthermore, HFR had a negative effect on plasma total adiponectin level. Finally, while HFR decreased GWAT monocyte chemotactic protein‐1 (MCP‐1), interleukin‐2 (IL‐2), and PAI‐1 levels, it did not affect several other cytokines including granulocyte‐macrophage colony‐stimulating factor, interferon‐γ, IL‐1β, IL‐6, and IL‐10. In summary, energy‐restricted high‐fat diets improve insulin sensitivity, while only partially improving markers of systemic and adipose tissue inflammation. In conclusion, our study supports the recommended low‐fat intake for overall cardiovascular health.  相似文献

A novel oral form of salmon calcitonin (sCT) was recently demonstrated to improve both fasting and postprandial glycemic control and induce weight loss in diet-induced obese and insulin-resistant rats. To further explore the glucoregulatory efficacy of oral sCT, irrespective of obesity and metabolic dysfunction, the present study investigated the effect of chronic oral sCT treatment on fasting and postprandial glycemic control in male lean healthy rats. 20 male rats were divided equally into a control group receiving oral vehicle or an oral sCT (2?mg/kg) group. All rats were treated twice daily for 5 weeks. Body weight and food intake were monitored during the study period and fasting blood glucose, plasma insulin and insulin sensitivity were determined and an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) performed at study end. Compared with the vehicle group, rats receiving oral sCT had improved fasting glucose homeostasis and insulin resistance, as measured by homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), with no change in body weight or fasting plasma insulin. In addition, the rats receiving oral sCT had markedly reduced glycemia and insulinemia during OGTT. This is the first report showing that chronic oral sCT treatment exerts a glucoregulatory action in lean healthy rats, irrespective of influencing body weight. Importantly, oral sCT seems to exert a dual treatment effect by improving fasting and postprandial glycemic control and insulin sensitivity. This and previous studies suggest oral sCT is a promising agent for the treatment of obesity-related insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.  相似文献

Obesity is associated with a state of chronic low grade inflammation that plays an important role in the development of insulin resistance. Tumor progression locus 2 (Tpl2) is a serine/threonine mitogen activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAP3K) involved in regulating responses to specific inflammatory stimuli. Here we have used mice lacking Tpl2 to examine its role in obesity-associated insulin resistance. Wild type (wt) and tpl2(-/-) mice accumulated comparable amounts of fat and lean mass when fed either a standard chow diet or two different high fat (HF) diets containing either 42% or 59% of energy content derived from fat. No differences in glucose tolerance were observed between wt and tpl2(-/-) mice on any of these diets. Insulin tolerance was similar on both standard chow and 42% HF diets, but was slightly impaired in tpl2(-/-) mice fed the 59% HFD. While gene expression markers of macrophage recruitment and inflammation were increased in the white adipose tissue of HF fed mice compared with standard chow fed mice, no differences were observed between wt and tpl2(-/-) mice. Finally, a HF diet did not increase Tpl2 expression nor did it activate Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), the MAPK downstream of Tpl2. These findings argue that Tpl2 does not play a non-redundant role in obesity-associated metabolic dysfunction.  相似文献

The aims of this study were: (1) to define the extent to which a high-fat (HF) diet given on a long-term basis reduces resting plasma ghrelin (total [acyl+des-acyl]) levels and the plasma ghrelin (total) response to fasting, (2) to determine whether a chronic HF diet modifies the orexigenic activity of acyl-ghrelin, (3) whether insulin pretreatment inhibits the plasma ghrelin (total) response to fasting, and (4) the extent to which pioglitazone (PIO) treatment will increase stomach and plasma ghrelin (total) levels in rats fed a HF diet. PIO is a drug given to diabetics which improves insulin resistance. Our findings show that a chronic HF diet given for either 10 or 60 weeks exerts a persistent inhibitory effect on resting plasma ghrelin (total) levels. Additionally, the plasma ghrelin (total) elevation to overnight fasting is not altered in rats fed a HF diet on a long-term basis. A HF diet does not impair the ingestive response to acyl-ghrelin. Together, these results suggest that acyl-ghrelin serves as an important orexigenic factor. Results show that insulin pretreatment does not inhibit the plasma ghrelin (total) response to fasting suggesting that meal-induced insulin secretion does not have a role in reducing ghrelin (total) secretion. In rats fed a HF diet, PIO administration increases stomach ghrelin (total) levels. Because PIO can reduce systemic glucose and lipid levels, our findings suggest that elevated glucose and lipid levels are part of the inhibitory mechanism behind reduced ghrelin (total) secretion in rats fed a HF diet.  相似文献

Aims: This study aimed at determining whether oral administration of a probiotic strain, Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota (LcS), can improve insulin resistance, which is the underlying cause of obesity‐associated metabolic abnormalities, in diet‐induced obesity (DIO) mice. Methods and Results: DIO mice were fed a high‐fat diet without or with 0·05% LcS for 4 weeks and then subjected to an insulin tolerance test (ITT) or oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Oral administration of LcS not only accelerated the reduction in plasma glucose levels during the ITT, but also reduced the elevation of plasma glucose levels during the OGTT. In addition, plasma levels of lipopolysaccharide‐binding protein (LBP), which is a marker of endotoxaemia, were augmented in the murine models of obese DIO, ob/ob, db/db and KK‐Ay and compared to those of lean mice. LcS treatment suppressed the elevation of plasma LBP levels in DIO mice, but did not affect intra‐abdominal fat weight. Conclusions: LcS improves insulin resistance and glucose intolerance in DIO mice. The reduction in endotoxaemia, but not intra‐abdominal fat, may contribute to the beneficial effects of LcS. Significance and Impact of the Study: This study suggests that LcS has the potential to prevent obesity‐associated metabolic abnormalities by improving insulin resistance.  相似文献

F344/DuCrj rats are genetically deficient in dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV). This enzyme degrades glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which induces glucose-dependent insulin secretion. Glucose tolerance of F344/DuCrj rats is improved as a result of enhanced insulin release induced by high levels of plasma GLP-1. In this study, we fed F344/DuCrj rats and DPPIV-positive F344/Jcl rats, aged five weeks, on a high-fat (HF) diet to examine the effect of DPPIV deficiency on food intake and insulin resistance. F344/Jcl rats gained significantly more body weight and consumed significantly more food than F344/DuCrj rats from Week 4 on either control or HF diet. Glucose excursion in the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was improved in F344/DuCrj rats fed on the control or HF diet at all times examined, compared with F344/Jcl rats. Homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) insulin resistance values of F344/DuCrj and F344/Jcl rats fed on HF diet were higher than those of animals fed on control diet up to Week 6. However, HOMA insulin resistance values of F344/DuCrj rats fed on HF diet became significantly lower than those of F344/Jcl rats on HF diet during Weeks 8-10. The area under the insulin curve in the OGTT at Week 10 showed that the insulin resistance of HF-diet-fed F344/DuCrj rats was greatly ameliorated. Plasma active GLP-1 concentrations of F344/DuCrj rats in the fed state were significantly higher than those of F344/Jcl rats. These observations suggest that DPPIV deficiency results in improved glucose tolerance and ameliorated insulin resistance owing to enhanced insulin release and inhibition of food intake as a result of high active GLP-1 levels.  相似文献

High visceral adiposity and intramyocellular lipid levels (IMCL) are both associated with the development of type 2 diabetes. The relationship between visceral adiposity and IMCL levels was explored in diet- and glucocorticoid-induced models of insulin resistance. In the diet-induced model, lean and fa/fa Zucker rats were fed either normal or high-fat (HF) chow over 4 wk. Fat distribution, IMCL content in the tibialis anterior (TA) muscle (IMCL(TA)), and whole body insulin resistance were measured before and after the 4-wk period. The HF diet-induced increase in IMCL(TA) was strongly correlated with visceral fat accumulation and greater glucose intolerance in both groups. The increase in IMCL(TA) to visceral fat accumulation was threefold greater for fa/fa rats. In the glucocorticoid-induced model, insulin sensitivity was impaired with dexamethasone. In vivo adiposity and IMCL(TA) content measurements were combined with ex vivo analysis of plasma and muscle tissue. Dexamethasone treatment had minimal effects on visceral fat accumulation while increasing IMCL(TA) levels approximately 30% (P < 0.05) compared with controls. Dexamethasone increased plasma glucose by twofold and increased the saturated fatty acid content of plasma lipids [fatty acid (CH2)n/omegaCH3 ratio +15%, P < 0.05]. The lipid composition of the TA muscle was unchanged by dexamethasone treatment, indicating that the relative increase in IMCL(TA) observed in vivo resulted from a decrease in lipid oxidation. Visceral adiposity may influence IMCL accumulation in the context of dietary manipulations; however, a "causal" relationship still remains to be determined. Dexamethasone-induced insulin resistance likely operates under a different mechanism, i.e., independently of visceral adiposity.  相似文献

Polyphenols from cinnamon (CN) have been described recently as insulin sensitizers and antioxidants but their effects on the glucose/insulin system in vivo have not been totally investigated. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of CN on insulin resistance and body composition, using an animal model of the metabolic syndrome, the high fat/high fructose (HF/HF) fed rat. Four groups of 22 male Wistar rats were fed for 12 weeks with:
(i)
(HF/HF) diet to induce insulin resistance,
(ii)
HF/HF diet containing 20 g cinnamon/kg of diet (HF/HF + CN),
(iii)
Control diet (C) and
(iv)
Control diet containing 20 g cinnamon/kg of diet (C + CN).
Data from hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamps showed a significant decrease of the glucose infusion rates in rats fed the HF/HF diet. Addition of cinnamon to the HF/HF diet increased the glucose infusion rates to those of the control rats. The HF/HF diet induced a reduction in pancreas weight which was prevented in HF/HF + CN group (p < 0.01). Mesenteric white fat accumulation was observed in HF/HF rats vs. control rats (p < 0.01). This deleterious effect was alleviated when cinnamon was added to the diet. In summary, these results suggest that in animals fed a high fat/high fructose diet to induce insulin resistance, CN alters body composition in association with improved insulin sensitivity.  相似文献
