We have shown a significant disruption of 24‐h pattern of plasma pituitary, adrenal, and gonadal hormones in high‐fat‐fed rats. Our objective was to assess the effect of a high‐fat diet (35% fat) on mean levels and 24‐h pattern of several adipocytokines in rats. A normal diet–fed rats (4% fat) were used as controls. When body weight of high‐fat‐fed rats attained values about 25% higher than controls (after 66 days of treatment), the animals were killed at six different time intervals throughout a 24‐h cycle. Plasma concentrations of insulin, adiponectin, interleukin (IL)‐1, leptin, ghrelin, plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 (PAI‐1), and monocyte chemoattractant protein‐1 (MCP‐1) were measured in a multianalyte profiling by using the Luminex‐100 system. Tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and IL‐6 were measured by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay. A significant hyperglycemia developed in high‐fat‐fed rats, together with a significant increase in plasma insulin. Mean levels of plasma adiponectin, IL‐1, IL‐6, TNFα, and leptin augmented, and ghrelin decreased, in high‐fat‐fed rats. The normal daily pattern of plasma insulin, adiponectin, IL‐1, IL‐6, TNFα, leptin, ghrelin, and MCP‐1 became disrupted in high‐fat‐fed rats. The results indicate that a high‐fat diet may bring about signs of insulin resistance and mild inflammation in rats, together with the disruption in daily variations of circulating insulin and ghrelin, and of several adipocytokines including leptin, adiponectin, IL‐1, IL‐6, TNFα, and MCP‐1.  相似文献

A link is known to exist between hyperandrogenicity and insulin resistance in mammals. We explored whether androgenization, early in reproductive life, in the female rat has any impact on later peripheral insulin sensitivity and parametrial (PM) fat function. Female, 60 day-old, rats were injected (i.m.) with 100 mul of sterile corn oil either alone (CT) or containing 2 mg of testosterone propionate (TP); rats were then used for experimentation at age 120 days. Daily food intake and body weight were recorded. Different groups of CT and TP rats were subjected to a high glucose load test or 24 h fasting for evaluation of changes in circulating levels of several metabolites and body composition. In vitro experiments were run to study the impact of androgenization on isolated PM adipocyte response to insulin. Finally, the direct effect of testosterone on insulin-induced leptin secretion by normal PM adipocytes was also evaluated. Androgenization induced a significant increase in daily food intake and body weight for the first 20 days after treatment. In vivo experiments indicate that TP rats released more (P<0.05) insulin than CT animals after high glucose load in order to maintain similar circulating glucose levels, a characteristic accompanied by decreased (P<0.05) overall corticoadrenal response in TP rats. Several metabolic responses to fasting were similar in both groups, although impaired adrenal response and changes in body composition were observed only in TP rats. Interestingly, cultured PM adipocytes from TP rats were less (P<0.05) sensitive than CT cells to insulin-induced leptin secretion. Also, we found that 48 h exposure of normal PM adipocytes to high testosterone concentration also impaired adipocyte endocrine function. Our study strongly supports that development of insulin resistance, in the female gender, can be established after an early, even transient, hyperandrogenemia.  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

The aim of the present work was to analyze the effect of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) on several metabolic risk factors, including cardiovascular health and insulin resistance, in aged rats submitted to a high-fat diet. For that, weaned rats were fed on a high-fat diet until 20 months of age. In the last 13 weeks of life, a group (n=11) received the diet supplemented with DHEA (0.5%, w/w), serving the rest (n=10) as controls. Body weight, body fat, serum lipids (triglycerides, total cholesterol and non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA)), HOMA index, n-6/n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) ratios, serum adiponectin, leptin, resistin and TNF-alpha, as well as adiponectin expression in adipose tissue, were measured. A stepwise discriminant test was used to analyze these variables, and an index of overall metabolic risk was generated from them. DHEA treatment resulted in a significantly lower overall metabolic risk index, as generated by the discriminant test (P<0.01). The DHEA group had lower body fat and n-6/n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) ratios than the control group (P<0.01), and the same trends were observed for serum cholesterol, triglycerides and HOMA index; in contrast, adiponectin expression in adipose tissue increased in DHEA-treated rats (P<0.05). The discriminant analysis revealed that adiponectin, both from serum and adipose tissue, was the most influencing factor, followed by n-6/n-3 ratios in adipose tissue, and by body fat. Our results then suggest that adiponectin is involved in the protective effect of DHEA against metabolic risk demonstrated in the present work.  相似文献

We have previously shown that combined amylin + leptin agonism elicits synergistic weight loss in diet‐induced obese (DIO) rats. Here, we assessed the comparative efficacy of amylin, leptin, or amylin + leptin in the maintenance of amylin + leptin–mediated weight loss. DIO rats pretreated with the combination of rat amylin (50 µg/kg/day) and murine leptin (125 µg/kg/day) for 4 weeks were subsequently infused with either vehicle, amylin, leptin, or amylin + leptin for an additional 4 weeks. Food intake, body weight, body composition, plasma parameters, and the expression of key metabolic genes in liver and white adipose tissue (WAT) were assessed. Amylin + leptin treatment (weeks 0–4) reduced body weight to 87.5% of baseline. Rats subsequently maintained on vehicle or leptin regained all weight (to 104.2 and 101.2% of baseline, respectively), those maintained on amylin had partial weight regain (97.0%). By contrast, weight loss was largely maintained with continued amylin + leptin treatment (91.4%), associated with a 10% decrease in adiposity. Cumulative food intake (weeks 5–8) was reduced by amylin and amylin + leptin, but not by leptin alone. Amylin + leptin, but not amylin or leptin alone, reduced plasma triglycerides (by 55%), total cholesterol (by 19%), and insulin (by 57%) compared to vehicle. Amylin + leptin also reduced hepatic stearoyl‐CoA desaturase‐1 (Scd1) mRNA, and increased WAT mRNA levels of adiponectin, fatty acid synthase (Fasn), and lipoprotein lipase (Lpl). We conclude that, in DIO rats, maintenance of amylin + leptin–mediated weight loss requires continued treatment with both agonists, and is accompanied by sustained improvements in body composition, and indices of lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity.  相似文献

Objective: Adiponectin influences insulin sensitivity (SI) and fat oxidation. Little is known about changes in adiponectin with changes in the fat content of eucaloric diets. We hypothesized that dietary fat content may influence adiponectin according to an individual's SI. Research Methods and Procedures: We measured changes in adiponectin, insulin, glucose, and leptin in response to high‐fat (HF) and low‐fat (LF) eucaloric diets in lean (n = 10) and obese (n = 11) subjects. Obese subjects were further subdivided in relation to a priori SI. Results: We found significantly higher insulin, glucose, and leptin and lower adiponectin in obese vs. lean subjects during both HF and LF. The mean group values of these measurements, including adiponectin (lean, HF 21.9 ± 9.8; LF, 20.8 ± 6.6; obese, HF 10.0 ± 3.3; LF, 9.5 ± 2.3 ng/mL; mean ± SD), did not significantly change between HF and LF diets. However, within the obese group, the insulin‐sensitive subjects had significantly higher adiponectin during HF than did the insulin‐resistant subjects. Additionally, the change in adiponectin from LF to HF diet correlated positively with the obese subjects’ baseline SI. Discussion: Although in lean and obese women, group mean values for adiponectin did not change significantly with a change in fat content of a eucaloric diet, a priori measured SI in obese subjects predicted an increase in adiponectin during the HF diet; this may be a mechanism that preserves SI in an already obese group.  相似文献

The aim of the present study was to identify the role of leptin and adiponectin in the development of resistance or susceptibility to diet-induced obesity in rats. For this purpose, male Wistar rats were fed with standard laboratory diet (control group) or cafeteria diet. After 15 days, two groups of rats with different response respect to the cafeteria diet were identified, and were assigned as diet-induced obesity (DIO) and diet resistant (DR) rats. The high-fat diet induced a very significant increase in both body and fat mass weight in DIO group. However, DR rats, gained even less weight than control-fed animals. Food intake was increased in cafeteria-fed rats (both DIO and DR) in comparison to control group; but hyperphagia was higher in DIO rats. In addition, feed efficiency (the ratio of weight gained to calories consumed) was significantly decreased in DR as compared to DIO rats. Regarding leptin, a significant increase in both adipose tissue gene expression and serum levels was observed in DIO rats in comparison with other groups (control and DR). A significant increase in both adiponectin circulating levels and adipose tissue mRNA expression was also observed in DIO animals as compared with the other groups. These data suggest that the susceptibility to obesity of DIO rats might be secondary, at least in part, to an earlier development of leptin resistance, which could lead to alterations in food intake (hyperphagia) and energetic metabolism. However, neither changes in leptin or adiponectin seem to be involved in the adaptive mechanisms that confer resistance to high fat intake.  相似文献

Objective: To analyze the putative interest of oligofructose (OFS) in the modulation of food intake after high‐fat diet in rats and to question the relevance of the expression and secretion of intestinal peptides in that context. Research Methods and Procedures: Male Wistar rats were pretreated with standard diet or OFS‐enriched (10%) standard diet for 35 days followed by 15 days of high‐fat diet enriched or not with OFS (10%) treatment. Body weight, food intake, triglycerides, and plasma ghrelin levels were monitored during the treatment. On day 50, rats were food‐deprived 8 hours and anesthetized for blood and intestinal tissue sampling for further proglucagon mRNA, glucagon‐like peptide (GLP)‐1, and GLP‐2 quantification. Results: The addition of OFS in the diet protects against the promotion of energy intake, body weight gain, fat mass development, and serum triglyceride accumulation induced by a high‐fat diet. OFS fermentation leads to an increase in proglucagon mRNA in the cecum and the colon and in GLP‐1 and GLP‐2 contents in the proximal colon, with consequences on the portal concentration of GLP‐1 (increase). A lower ghrelin level is observed only when OFS is added to the standard diet of rats. Discussion: In rats exposed to high‐fat diet, OFS is, thus, able to modulate endogenous production of gut peptides involved in appetite and body weight regulation. Because several approaches are currently used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity with limited effectiveness, dietary fibers such as OFS, which promote the endogenous production of gut peptides like GLP‐1, could be proposed as interesting nutrients to consider in the management of fat intake and associated metabolic disorders.  相似文献

1. High-fat diets disrupt metabolic equilibrium and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis function and may lead to the development of metabolic and endocrine dysfunctions. The early neuroendocrine responses elicited by a combination of short-term metabolic and emotional stressors is not fully elucidated. 2. The purpose of the present study was to determine the impact on female rats, of a short-term enriched in fat diet, combined with an acute stressor. 3. Adult female Wistar rats were fed a fat diet for 7 days and subsequently exposed to 5 min swimming stress. Plasma leptin, insulin, glucose, luteinizing hormone (LH) and corticosterone, along with brain corticosteroid receptors' mRNAs were measured at 1 h post stress. 4. Diet, compared to chow, reduced food intake and body weight gain, increased leptin and LH, and decreased glucose in the periphery. The diet increased plasma corticosterone and reduced GR mRNA in the hippocampus, similarly to swim stress. 5. The diet significantly modified the animals' response to the subsequent swim stress, by blocking further corticosterone rise and GR mRNA reduction. In addition, exposure of diet-fed rats to stress, altered their endocrine response, in terms of leptin and LH. 6. These observations suggest that even short, moderately unbalanced diets can affect peripheral and central components of energy balance, reproduction and stress response.  相似文献

To understand the function of the feeding-stimulatory peptide, galanin (GAL), in eating and body weight regulation, the present experiments tested the effects of both acute and chronic injections of this peptide into the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of rats. With food absent during the test, acute injection of GAL (300 pmol/0.3 microl) significantly increased phosphofructokinase activity in muscle, suggesting enhanced capacity to metabolize carbohydrate, and reduced circulating glucose levels. It also decreased beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity in muscle, indicating reduced fat oxidation, while increasing circulating non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) and lipoprotein lipase activity in adipose tissue (aLPL). Chronic PVN injections of GAL (300 pmol/0.3 microl/injection) versus saline over 7-10 days significantly stimulated daily caloric intake and increased the weight of four dissected fat depots by 30-40%. These effects, accompanied by elevated levels of leptin, triglycerides, NEFA and aLPL activity, were evident only in rats on a diet with at least 35% fat. Thus, by favoring carbohydrate over fat metabolism in muscle and reversing hyperglycemia, PVN GAL may have a function in counteracting the metabolic disturbances induced by a high-fat diet. As a consequence of these actions, GAL can promote the partitioning of lipids away from oxidation in muscle towards storage in adipose tissue.  相似文献

Behavioral therapies aimed at reducing excess body fat result in limited fat loss after dieting. To understand the causes for maintenance of adiposity, high‐fat (HF) diet–induced obese (DIO) mice were switched to a low‐fat chow diet, and the effects of chow on histological and molecular alterations of adipose tissue and metabolic parameters were examined. DIO mice reduced and stabilized their body weights after being switched to chow (HF‐chow), but retained a greater amount of adiposity than chow‐fed mice. Reduction in adipocyte volume, not number, caused a decrease in fat mass. HF‐chow mice showed normalized circulating insulin and leptin levels, improved glucose tolerance, and reduced inflammatory status in white adipose tissue (WAT). Circulating leptin levels corrected for fat mass were lower in HF‐chow mice. Leptin administration was used to test whether reduced leptin level of HF‐chow mice inhibited further fat loss. Leptin treatment led to an additional reduction in adiposity. Finally, HF‐HF mice had lower mRNA levels of β3 adrenergic receptor (β3‐AR) in epididymal WAT (EWAT) compared to chow‐fed mice, and diet change led to an increase in the WAT β3‐AR mRNA levels that were similar to the levels of chow‐fed mice, suggesting an elevation in sympathetic activation of WAT during diet switch relative to HF‐HF mice leading to the reduced leptin level and proinflammatory cytokine content. In summary, HF‐chow mice were resistant to further fat loss due to leptin insufficiency. Diet alteration from HF to low fat improved metabolic state of DIO mice, although their adiposity was defended at a higher level.  相似文献

Objective: EM‐652 is a pure antiestrogen in human breast and uterine cancer cells that also reduces bone loss and plasma lipid levels in the rat. This study aimed to assess the ability of EM‐652, alone or with dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), to prevent obesity and related metabolic abnormalities induced by an obesity‐promoting diet and ovariectomy. Research Methods and Procedures: Female rats were fed a high‐sucrose, high‐fat (HSHF) diet, were left intact or ovariectomized (OVX), and were treated with EM‐652, DHEA, or both for 20 days. Variables of energy balance and determinants of lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity were assessed. Results: The HSHF diet (vs. chow) and OVX both increased energy intake and gain, as well as energetic efficiency. Both EM‐652 and DHEA prevented diet‐ and OVX‐induced energy gain mainly by decreasing fat deposition, without being additive. The modest EM‐652‐induced increase in liver triglycerides of intact rats was prevented by its combination with DHEA. EM‐652, but not DHEA, decreased cholesterolemia. The HSHF diet and OVX reduced insulin sensitivity, an effect that was attenuated by EM‐652 and abrogated by DHEA and EM‐652+DHEA. Treatment with EM‐652, DHEA, or their combination abolished the diet‐ and OVX‐induced increase in adipose lipoprotein lipase activity that accompanied fat gain. Discussion: EM‐652 is an effective agent to prevent diet‐ and OVX‐induced obesity and its associated cardiovascular risk factors such as insulin resistance. The addition of DHEA prevents hepatic lipid accumulation and further ameliorates insulin sensitivity. The beneficial metabolic effects of such combined steroid therapy may, therefore, eventually prove to be clinically relevant.  相似文献

Overactivity of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) has been linked to abdominal obesity and other risk factors for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Conversely, administration of cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1) antagonists reduces adiposity in obese animals and humans. This effect is only in part secondary to the anorectic action of CB1 agonists. In order to assess the actions of CB1 antagonism on glucose homeostasis, diet‐induced obese (DIO) rats received the CB1 antagonist rimonabant (10 mg/kg, intraperitoneally (IP)) or its vehicle for 4 weeks, or were pair‐fed to the rimonabant‐treated group for the same length of time. Rimonabant treatment transiently reduced food intake, while inducing body weight loss throughout the study. Rats receiving rimonabant had significantly less body fat and circulating leptin compared to both vehicle and pair‐fed groups. Rimonabant, but not pair‐feeding, also significantly decreased circulating nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA) and triacylglycerol (TG) levels, and reduced TG content in oxidative skeletal muscle. Although no effects were observed during a glucose tolerance test (GTT), rimonabant restored insulin sensitivity to that of chow‐fed, lean controls during an insulin tolerance test (ITT). Conversely, a single dose of rimonabant to DIO rats had no acute effect on insulin sensitivity. These findings suggest that in diet‐induced obesity, chronic CB1 antagonism causes weight loss and improves insulin sensitivity by diverting lipids from storage toward utilization. These effects are independent of the anorectic action of the drug.  相似文献

Partial leptin deficiency is not uncommon in the general population. We hypothesized that leptin insufficiency could favor obesity, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and other metabolic abnormalities, particularly under high calorie intake. Thus, mice partially deficient in leptin (ob/+) and their wild-type (+/+) littermates were fed for 4 mo with a standard-calorie (SC) or a high-calorie (HC) diet. Some ob/+ mice fed the HC diet were also treated weekly with leptin. Our results showed that, when fed the SC diet, ob/+ mice did not present significant metabolic abnormalities except for elevated levels of plasma adiponectin. Under high-fat feeding, increased body fat mass, hepatic steatosis, higher plasma total cholesterol, and glucose intolerance were observed in +/+ mice, and these abnormalities were further enhanced in ob/+ mice. Furthermore, some metabolic disturbances, such as blunted plasma levels of leptin and adiponectin, reduced UCP1 expression in brown adipose tissue, increased plasma liver enzymes, beta-hydroxybutyrate and triglycerides, and slight insulin resistance, were observed only in ob/+ mice fed the HC diet. Whereas de novo fatty acid synthesis in liver was decreased in +/+ mice fed the HC diet, it was disinhibited in ob/+ mice along with the restoration of the expression of several lipogenic genes. Enhanced expression of several genes involved in fatty acid oxidation was also observed only in ob/+ animals. Leptin supplementation alleviated most of the metabolic abnormalities observed in ob/+ fed the HC diet. Hence, leptin insufficiency could increase the risk of obesity, NASH, glucose intolerance, and hyperlipidemia in a context of calorie overconsumption.  相似文献

Objective: To model how consuming a low‐carbohydrate (LC) diet influences food intake and body weight. Research Methods and Procedures: Food intake and body weight were monitored in rats with access to chow (CH), LC‐high‐fat (HF), or HF diets. After 8 weeks, rats received intracerebroventricular injections of a melanocortin agonist (melanotan‐II) and antagonist (SHU9119), and feeding responses were measured. At sacrifice, plasma hormones and hypothalamic expression of mRNA for proopiomelanocortin (POMC), melanocortin‐4 receptor, neuropeptide Y (NPY), and agouti related protein (AgRP) were assessed. A second set of rats had access to diet (chow or LC‐HF) for 4 weeks followed by 24 h food deprivation on two occasions, after which food intake and hypothalamic POMC, NPY, and AgRP mRNA expression were measured. Results: HF rats consumed more food and gained more weight than rats on CH or LC‐HF diets. Despite similar intakes and weight gains, LC‐HF rats had increased adiposity relative to CH rats. LC‐HF rats were more sensitive to melanotan‐II and less sensitive to SHU9119. LC‐HF rats had increased plasma leptin and ghrelin levels and decreased insulin levels, and patterns of NPY and POMC mRNA expression were consistent with those of food‐deprived rats. LC‐HF rats did not show rebound hyperphagia after food deprivation, and levels NPY, POMC, and AgRP mRNA expression were not affected by deprivation. Discussion: Our results demonstrate that an LC diet influences multiple systems involved in the controls of food intake and body weight. These data also suggest that maintenance on an LC‐HF diet affects food intake by reducing compensatory responses to food deprivation.  相似文献

Objective: Sprague‐Dawley rats fed a high‐fat diet (HFD) are either obesity prone (OP) or obesity resistant (OR). We tested the hypothesis that differences in the ultradian rhythmic patterns of insulin and ghrelin in OP vs. OR rats promote obesity in OP rats. Research Methods and Procedures: Rats were fed regular chow or an HFD, and ultradian fluctuations in leptin, insulin, and ghrelin were analyzed in blood samples collected at 5‐minute intervals from intrajugular cannulae of freely moving rats. Results: Regular chow feeding resulted in a slow weight gain accompanied by small increases in insulin and leptin and a decrease in ghrelin discharge, with only the pulse amplitude significantly altered. Similar changes were observed in OR rats, despite HFD consumption. In contrast, OP rats exhibited a high rate of weight gain and marked hyperinsulinemia, hyperleptinemia, and hypoghrelinemia; amplitude was altered, but frequency was stable. In a short‐term experiment, HFD elicited similar secretory patterns of smaller magnitude even in the absence of weight gain. Discussion: We showed that three hormonal signals of disparate origin involved in energy homeostasis were secreted in discrete episodes, and only the pulse amplitude component was vulnerable to age and HFD consumption. Increases in insulin and leptin and decreases in ghrelin pulse amplitude caused by HFD were exaggerated in OP rats relative to OR rats and preceded the weight increase. These findings show that a distinct genetic predisposition in the endocrine organs of OR rats confers protection against high‐fat intake‐induced ultradian hypersecretion of obesity‐promoting hormonal signals.  相似文献

Levin提出饮食诱导肥胖(DIO)与饮食诱导肥胖抵抗(DIO-R)的概念后,其发生机制受到了广泛关注。现代研究认为脂肪组织除了能调节能量代谢外,还可以分泌多种细胞因子,如瘦素、脂联素、肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)和抵抗素等。在已发现的脂肪细胞因子中,瘦素、TNF-α和脂联素等与肥胖的发生密切关联。DIO大鼠血清瘦素水平比DIO-R大鼠高,DIO大鼠瘦素敏感性降低,发生了瘦素抵抗。DIO小鼠血浆脂联素水平比DIO-R小鼠低。DIO组TNF-α水平明显高于DIO-R组。  相似文献
