AbstractWhile the consequences of poor maternal diet on the offspring’s cardio-metabolic health have been studied in detail, the role of the father’s diet on the health of his offspring is poorly understood. We used a known mouse model to establish the impact of an isocaloric paternal low-protein high-carbohydrate diet on the offspring’s lipid metabolism. Detailed lipid profiles were acquired from F1 neonate (3 weeks), F1 adult (16 weeks) and F2 neonate male and female offspring, in serum, liver, brain, heart and abdominal adipose tissues by Mass Spectrometry and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. Using a purpose-built computational tool for analysing lipid metabolism as a network, we characterised the number, type and abundance of lipid variables in and between tissues (Lipid Traffic Analysis), finding a variety of alterations associated with paternal diet. These elucidate a mechanism for the defective physiological behaviour of systems at risk of cardio-metabolic disease.

Rainbow trout are considered as a poor user of dietary carbohydrates, displaying persistent postprandial hyperglycaemia when fed a diet containing high amounts of carbohydrates. While this phenotype is well-described in juveniles, less attention was given to broodstock. Our objective was to assess for the first time the short-term consequences of feeding mature female and male, and neomale trout with a low-protein high-carbohydrate diet on glucose and lipid metabolism. Fish were fed for two days with a diet containing either no or 32% of carbohydrates. We analysed plasma metabolites, mRNA levels and enzymatic activities of glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, de novo lipogenesis and β-oxidation in the liver. Results demonstrated that the glucose and lipid metabolism were regulated by the nutritional status in all sexes, irrespective of the carbohydrate intake. These data point out that carbohydrate intake during a short period (5 meals) at 8 °C did not induce specific metabolic changes in broodstock. Finally, we demonstrated, for the first time, sex differences regarding the consequences of two days of feeding on glucose and lipid metabolism.

The objective of these studies was to determine the molecular basis for the activation of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) gene transcription during prolonged submaximal exercise. Mice were fed a high-carbohydrate diet for 1 wk and exercised continuously by swimming for up to 120 min. The level of hepatic PEPCK mRNA increased progressively during exercise, reaching 510% above control, whereas transcription of the PEPCK gene increased 1,000%, before decreasing to control levels within 60 min of recovery. In transgenic mice carrying a chimeric gene consisting of the PEPCK promoter linked to a reporter gene for bovine growth hormone (bGH), PEPCK(-460)-bGH, the level of hepatic bGH mRNA increased by 490% in response to exercise, similar to the increase in the expression of the native PEPCK gene. However, in transgenic mice with a deletion of the glucocorticoid regulatory unit, PEPCK(-355)-bGH, bGH mRNA did not increase above control values. In transgenic mice with a block mutation in adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) regulatory regions -90/-82 and -250/-234, PEPCK cAMP response element 1 (CRE-1)/P3(1)-bGH, exercise increased bGH mRNA 260% above controls. Adrenalectomy (Adx) had no effect on PEPCK mRNA levels in nonexercised mice, whereas in adrenalectomized (Adx)-exercised mice, PEPCK mRNA increased only 80% above basal, and, in Adx mice injected with dexamethasone, PEPCK mRNA increased with exercise 570% above controls. Exercise was also associated with a large increase in transcription of the gene for the transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta (C/EBP-beta) and a smaller rise in transcription of c-jun gene, both of which returned to control levels during recovery.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

It is well established that the maternal diet during the periconceptional period affects the progeny’s health. A growing body of evidence suggests that the paternal diet also influences disease onset in offspring. For many years, sperm was considered only to contribute half of the progeny’s genome. It now appears that it also plays a crucial role in health and disease in offspring’s adult life. The nutritional status and environmental exposure of fathers during their childhood and/or the periconceptional period have significant transgenerational consequences. This review aims to describe the effects of various human and rodent paternal feeding patterns on progeny’s metabolism and health, including fasting or intermittent fasting, low-protein and folic acid deficient food, and overnutrition in high-fat and high-sugar diets. The impact on pregnancy outcome, metabolic pathways, and chronic disease onset will be described. The biological and epigenetic mechanisms underlying the transmission from fathers to their progeny will be discussed. All these data provide evidence of the impact of paternal nutrition on progeny health which could lead to preventive diet recommendations for future fathers.

The review presents a recent data from the literature on the physiologic and pathophysiologic role of adipose tissue hormones (adiponectin, resistin, leptin). The article details the role of adipocytokines in atherogenesis. It also presents the results of studies depicting the relationship between subclinical hypothyroidism, lipid metabolism and insulin resistance as well as the impact of thyroid dysfunction upon the secretion of adipocytokines.
