Hypercaloric Diet

The present study was carried to develop and analyze the consequences of hypercaloric pellet-diet cycle that promotes obesity in rats. Male Wistar rats were randomly distributed into two groups that received either normal diet (ND; n =32; 3,5 Kcal/g) or a hypercaloric diet (HD; n =32; 4,6 Kcal/g). The ND group received commercial Labina rat feeding while the HD animals received a cycle of five hypercaloric diets over a 14-week period. The effects of the diets were analyzed in terms of body weight, body composition, hormone-metabolite levels, systolic arterial pressure and glucose tolerance at the 5% significance level. The hypercaloric pellet diet cycle promoted an increase in body weight and fat, systolic arterial pressure and a high serum level of glucose, triacylglycerol, insulin and leptin. The HD group also presented an impaired glucose tolerance. In conclusion, the results of this study show that the hypercaloric pellet-diet cycle promoted obesity in Wistar rats and displayed several characteristics that are commonly associated with human obesity, such as high arterial pressure, insulin resistance, hyperglycaemia, hyperinsulinaemia, hyperleptinaemia and dyslipidaemia.

And Control

The metabolic response to nutrient ingestion and the rate of digestion and absorption of nutrient molecules in bowel physiology plays an important role in the metabolic control of some human chronic non-infectious diseases. This experimentally-controlled designed nutritional study which lasted eight weeks aimed to determine the effects of proportional high-protein/low-carbohydrate (HP/LC) formulated diet on glycemic tolerance, glycemic control, body weight, organ weight and organ morphometry in healthy and diabetic adult male Wistar rats. Twenty-four male Wistar rats purchased from a disease-free stock were randomly categorized into four groups (n = 6, each) after two weeks acclimatization period in raised stainless steel cages with 6 mm2mesh floor and replaceable numbered blotters papers placed under each cage in a well-ventilated animal house. Animal groups include: Healthy control group (HC), Healthy treated group (HT), Diabetic control group (DC) and Diabetic treated group (DT. The animals were fed according to the experimental design with water ad libitumfor eight weeks. Diabetes was inducted with freshly prepared alloxan monohydrate solution (150 mg/kg bw, intraperitoneally). Body weights and fasting blood sugar concentrations were measured twice weekly, while oral glucose tolerance test was conducted on the last day of the eighth-week study and subsequently followed by organs extraction after anesthesia for weight and gross assessment. Proportional high-protein/low-carbohydrate formulated diet caused significant reduction in mean body weight of treated diabetic (DT: 22.6%; P= .001) and healthy (HT: 5.8%; P= .007) rats while the control animals on control diet recorded significant (P< .05) increase in body weight gain (DC: 12.4%; HC: 11.2%). Glycemic tolerance and control improved significantly in diabetic treated rats over that of the healthy treated rats. Gross morphometry of the extracted organs (kidneys, liver, heart, lungs, spleen and testes) revealed sustained normal morphological features without any visible lesion. In conclusion, consumption of proportional high-protein/low-carbohydrate formulated diet enhanced body weight reduction and sustained normal organ morphological features with good glycemic tolerance and control in experimental rats, suggesting its dietary potentiality, safety and suitability to ameliorate obesity-related diabetes.

The Difference

This study aims to look at the histopathological picture of the dorsal arteries of the penis of the hiperlipidemic wistar rats (Rattus novergicus) induction by high-fat diet that seen in terms of lumen diameter and thickness of the arterial endotelium wall. Hyperlipidemia is a risk factor for ateriosclerosis in the penile arteries causing erectile dysfunction in men. This study is an experimental study with a randomized posttest only control goup design. The sample are  10 individuals adult male wistar rats aged 3-4 months with a range of body weight 150-200 grams. Before treatment, adaptation was carried out for 7 days. After that the sample rats in the treatment group were made hyperlidemic by feeding lard for 50 days. Then surgery is performed for histopathological preparations at the posttest. To determine the differences in endotelium thickness and arterial lumen diameter in the two groups, an independent t-test was used. Thick diameter data of the endotelium and dorsal arteries of the penis of the wistar rat between the lower treatment group and the control group. The difference that occurred was statistically significant (p <0.05). So it can be concluded that the provision of high-fat diet (hyperlipidemia) decreases the lumen diameter and endotelium thickness of dorsal arteries penis.

Pyrin Domain

NLR family, pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) is a pattern recognition receptor responsible for perpetuating an inflammatory response through production of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18. It has been implicated in the sustained inflammatory response in obesity and multiple cardiovascular disease conditions. In order to investigate NLRP3 as a potential therapeutic target in metabolic syndrome, C57BL/6 wild-type (WT) and NLRP3 knockout (NLRP3-\-) mice were fed a normal diet (ND; 12% fat chow) or a high fat diet (HFD; 45% fat chow) for 5 months. At 5 months, echocardiography and glucose tolerance tests (GTTs) were performed. Cardiac function assessed by fractional shortening (FS) was significantly impaired by HFD feeding in the WT group (0.335 HFD vs. 0.456 ND; p<0.05) but not in the NLRP3-\- (0.449 HFD vs. 0.492 ND; p>0.05). FS was higher in NLRP3-\-HFD than in WT-HFD (p<0.05). Two-dimensional analysis shows the FS difference between NLRP3-\-HFD and WT-HFD was primarily explained by the difference in left ventricular end-systolic dimension (0.2716 cm WT vs. 0.1883 cm NLRP3-\-; p<0.05). Glucose tolerance measured by area under the curve (AUC) was significantly impaired by HFD feeding for both WT (23183 ND vs. 57298 HFD; p<0.001) and NLRP3-\- (23197 ND vs. 44626 HFD; p<0.001), but significantly better in the NLRP3-\-HFD than in WT-HFD (p<0.01). HFD feeding increased fasting blood glucose (FBG) for both WT (97.7 mg . dl -1 ND vs. 164.7 mg . dl -1 HFD; p<0.01) and NLRP3-\- (80.50 mg . dl -1 ND vs. 108.8 mg . dl -1 HFD; p<0.05), but significantly less in NLRP3-\- mice (NLRP3-\- vs. WT; p<0.05). For GTTs, body weight was significantly higher in the WT than NLRP3-\- fed HFD (47.93 g vs. 36.5 g; p<0.001). Body weight explained 92% of variation in glucose tolerance (p<0.0001) and 69% of variation in fasting blood glucose (p<0.0001). WT-HFD averaged 1.31X heavier than NLRP3-\-HFD, while the AUC for the IGTT was 1.28X larger for the WT-HFD than NLRP3-\-HFD. Body weights were not significantly different between genotypes at the time of echo. The results suggest that knockout of NLRP3 may be protective against HFD induced cardiovascular dysfunction. A protective effect on glucose tolerance is not strongly supported.

The effects of a hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) lesion on energy balance were investigated in exercise-trained rats. Male Wistar rats weighing initially 250 g were divided into four groups. Two groups of rats underwent a bilateral PVN lesion, whereas the two remaining groups were sham operated. The PVN lesions were done electrolytically. One group from each surgical treatment was exercised, while the other group was kept in sedentary conditions. Rats were exercised on a rodent motor-driven treadmill at moderate intensity, 1 h/day for 21 consecutive days. Food intake and body weight were measured each day during the study. At the end of the treatment period, rats were killed, and carcasses were analyzed for their energy content. Serum corticosterone was measured by a competitive protein-binding assay. Energy gain and energy intake were lower in exercised rats than in sedentary controls, regardless of whether they were sham or PVN lesioned. Concurrently, there was no difference in the energy gain between PVN-lesioned and sham-operated rats, despite the fact that PVN-lesioned rats ended the experiment with a larger body weight than the sham-lesioned animals. Serum corticosterone levels were lower in PVN-lesioned rats than in sham-lesioned rats. In conclusion, the present results indicate that the PVN, the hypothalamic nucleus predominantly controlling the pituitary-adrenal axis activity, is not a prominent structure in the regulation of energy balance in exercised male Wistar rats.

Abstract Objectives Patchouli alcohol is a sesquiterpene alcohol found in Pogostemon cablin. Recently, we observed that patchouli alcohol reduced lipid accumulation in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes and increased glucose uptake in differentiated C2C12 myocytes. This study was designed to investigate anti-obese and anti-diabetic activities of patchouli alcohol using high fat diet-induced obese mouse model. Methods Forty-eight 5-week old C57BL/6 J male mice were assigned into four groups and fed with 1) normal diet (control), 2) high fat diet, 3) high fat diet with gavaging 25 mg of patchouli alcohol/kg body weight and 4) high fat diet with gavaging 50 mg of patchouli alcohol/kg body weight. High fat diet or control diets were provided to each treatment group for four weeks and then different doses of patchouli alcohol (0, 25 or 50 mg/kg body weight) was orally administered for following 8 weeks with the diet. At age of week 17, all animals were sacrificed, fat tissues were collected, and tissue weight was measured. In addition, twenty C57BL/6 J male mice were assigned into the same treatment groups above. At the end of the 8 weeks (age of week 17), the mice were fasted for 12 h and the oral glucose tolerance test was performed after intraperitoneal injection of 2 g of anhydrous glucose/kg body weight. The blood was collected from tail at 0, 15, 30, 90 and 120 min after injection and blood glucose level was analyzed using glucose meter. Results Treatment of patchouli alcohol (50 mg/kg body weight) significantly reduced body weight and accumulation of body fat pads which was highly induced by feeding of high fat diet. An analysis of individual fat pad weights (expressed as mg weight of fat pad/g body weight) revealed a significant decrease of epididymal and retroperitoneal fat pad in patchouli alcohol-treated mice whereas brown adipose tissue were not significantly altered. And, slightly improved glucose tolerance was observed at 90 and 120 minutes after glucose injection in mice treated with patchouli alcohol (50 mg/kg body weight) compared to those fed with high fat diet alone. Conclusions We propose a potential use of patchouli alcohol as an anti-obesity compound in obese population. Funding Sources NIFA Hatch grant. Supporting Tables, Images and/or Graphs
