Excessive dietary fat intake is related to metabolic dysfunction and enhances susceptibility to hypertension and cognitive impairment. Although there are sex differences in the prevalence and progression of these diseases, few studies have investigated sex differences in cardio-metabolic and cognitive parameters in rats with high-fat diet-induced metabolic dysfunction. To better reflect actual clinical conditions, sex-differences in rats with high-fat diet-induced metabolic dysfunction were evaluated. Male and female Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a high-fat diet to induce metabolic dysfunction and intraperitoneally injected with N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester and scopolamine to model vulnerability to hypertension and cognitive impairment, respectively, whereas control rats were fed a regular diet and treated with distilled water and 0.9% saline. Male experimental rats showed significantly higher systolic blood pressure than female experimental animals. More importantly, acetylcholine-induced relaxation of carotid arteries was decreased only in the male experimental rats, revealing a significant difference compared with female experimental rats. These findings provide evidence for individualized sex-based management of patients with metabolic dysfunction and susceptibilities to hypertension and cognitive impairment. Impact statement Excessive dietary fat intake plays important roles in the process of metabolic dysfunction and increases susceptibilities to chronic diseases such as hypertension. Few previous studies, however, have accurately reflected real-world medical conditions. In addition, studies performed to date have not examined detailed sex-differences in cardio-metabolic and cognitive parameters, precluding the development of sex-tailored interventions for patients with metabolic dysfunction who are susceptible to hypertension and cognitive impairment. In this study, using rats with HFD-induced metabolic dysfunction that made them susceptible to hypertension and cognitive impairment, we demonstrate that male rats show greater impairment of acetylcholine-induced vasorelaxation of the carotid artery and systolic blood pressure compared to female rats. These findings may provide a basis for the early detection of carotid artery dysfunction and systolic blood pressure increase, especially in males.

Early life nutrition impacts on subsequent risk of obesity and hypertension. Several brain chemicals responsible for both feeding and cardiovascular regulation are altered in obesity. We examined effects of early postnatal overnutrition on blood pressure, brain neuropeptide Y (NPY), and adiposity markers. Rat pup litters were adjusted to either 3 or 12 male animals (overnutrition and control, respectively) on day 1 of life. After weaning, rats were given either a palatable high-fat diet or standard chow. Smaller litter pups were significantly heavier by 17 days of age. By 16 wk, the effect of litter size was masked by that of diet, postweaning. Small and normal litter animals fed a high-fat diet had similar increases in body weight, plasma insulin, leptin, and adiponectin concentrations, leptin mRNA, and fat masses relative to chow-fed animals. An increase in 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-1 mRNA in white adipose tissue, and a decrease in uncoupling protein-1 mRNA in brown adipose tissue in both small litter groups at 16 wk of age, may represent a programming effect of the altered litter size. NPY concentration in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus was reduced in high fat-fed groups. Blood pressure was significantly elevated at 13 wk in high-fat-fed animals. This study demonstrates that overnourishment during early postnatal development leads to profound changes in body weight at weaning, which tended to abate with maturation. Thus the effects of long-term dietary intervention postweaning can override those of litter size-induced obesity.

Obesity contributes to approximatively 2.5 million deaths every year and is associated with life threatening conditions including hypertension. Recently, we found that constitutive deletion of adipocyte (pro)renin-receptor (PRR) prevented high-fat diet-induced obesity through a drastic decrease in fat mass. However, adipocyte PRR deficient mice were characterized by a fatty liver and by an elevated systolic blood pressure (SBP), classic features of models of lipodystrophy. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the temporally-controlled deletion of adipocyte PRR in obese mice reverses obesity related hypertension. After 18 weeks of high fat diet, inducible adipocyte-PRR deficient ( PRR ERT ) and control ( PRR fl/Y ) male mice (n=7-11 mice/ group) were injected intraperitoneally with tamoxifen (TMX) for 5 consecutive days. Body weight, body composition and blood pressure, measured by radiotelemetry in a subgroup of mice (n=2-4 mice/ group), were recorded before and after TMX injection. The inducible deletion of adipocyte PRR in PRR ERT mice decreased significantly body weights ( PRR fl/fl , 46.6 ± 1.3 g; PRR ERT , 42.1 ± 1.4 g, P<0.05) and fat mass ( PRR fl/fl , 15.8 ± 1.0 g; PRR ERT , 8.1 ± 0.7 g, P<0.05) compared to control mice. PPARγ, FABP4 and FAS mRNA levels were significantly decreased by 68% (6.8 out 10), 80% (8 out 10) and 68% (6.8 out 10) respectively in white adipose tissues of PRR ERT mice suggesting that PRR positively regulated adipogenesis and lipid metabolism in adipose tissue. In addition, the inducible deletion of adipocyte PRR in PRR ERT mice decreased significantly SBP compared to control mice ( PRR fl/fl , -4.3 ± 3.2 g; PRR ERT , -10.2 ± 2.4 g, P<0.05). Interestingly, adipocyte angiotensinogen mRNA abundance was significantly decreased in adipose tissue of PRR ERT mice fed a standard diet suggesting that the decrease in blood pressure might be mediated by a local renin angiotensin system (RAS). The measurement of local (liver, kidney, adipose tissue and brain) and systemic RAS in HF-fed mice is under investigation. Taken together, our results highlight a new signaling pathway in which PRR regulates adipogenesis, lipid metabolism and blood pressure. PRR could represent a new potential therapeutic target for obesity and hypertension.

The phytochemical oxyresveratrol has been shown to exert diverse biological activities including prevention of obesity. However, the exact reason underlying the anti-obese effects of oxyresveratrol is not fully understood. Here, we investigated the effects and mechanism of oxyresveratrol in adipocytes and high-fat diet (HFD)-fed obese mice. Oxyresveratrol suppressed lipid accumulation and expression of adipocyte markers during the adipocyte differentiation of 3T3-L1 and C3H10T1/2 cells. Administration of oxyresveratrol in HFD-fed obese mice prevented body-weight gains, lowered adipose tissue weights, improved lipid profiles, and increased glucose tolerance. The anti-obese effects were linked to increases in energy expenditure and higher rectal temperatures without affecting food intake, fecal lipid content, and physical activity. The increased energy expenditure by oxyresveratrol was concordant with the induction of thermogenic genes including Ucp1, and the reduction of white adipocyte selective genes in adipose tissue. Furthermore, Foxo3a was identified as an oxyresveratrol-induced gene and it mimicked the effects of oxyresveratrol for induction of thermogenic genes and suppression of white adipocyte selective genes, suggesting the role of Foxo3a in oxyresveratrol-mediated anti-obese effects. Taken together, these data show that oxyresveratrol increases energy expenditure through the induction of thermogenic genes in adipose tissue and further implicates oxyresveratrol as an ingredient and Foxo3a as a molecular target for the development of functional foods in obesity and metabolic diseases.
