Abstract
This study investigated whether a standard calorie diet that is high in glucose and deficient in dietary fibre (described as HGD [high glucose diet]) induces hepatic fat accumulation in mice. We evaluated hepatic steatosis at 7 days and 14 days after the commencement of the HGD. Hepatic triglycerides and areas of oil droplets increased in the HGD group both at day 7 and day 14, whereas weight gain, weight of epididymal fat, and plasma levels of triglycerides were unaffected by HGD consumption. A microarray analysis of the livers revealed that the expression of lipogenesis-related genes was the most affected by HGD consumption. Furthermore, HGD consumption induced the expression of hepatic proteins of fatty acid synthetase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase alpha, and stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1, which are known to be involved in the synthesis of triglyceride. These results indicate that HGD consumption causes fat accumulation in the liver, with an increase in enzymes that are involved in de novo lipogenesis without an accompanying weight or obesity phenotype. Our new findings suggest that HGD consumption could serve as a breeding ground for liver steatosis.
期刊介绍:
Open access, online only, peer-reviewed international journal in the Life Sciences, established in 2014 Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports (BB Reports) publishes original research in all aspects of Biochemistry, Biophysics and related areas like Molecular and Cell Biology. BB Reports welcomes solid though more preliminary, descriptive and small scale results if they have the potential to stimulate and/or contribute to future research, leading to new insights or hypothesis. Primary criteria for acceptance is that the work is original, scientifically and technically sound and provides valuable knowledge to life sciences research. We strongly believe all results deserve to be published and documented for the advancement of science. BB Reports specifically appreciates receiving reports on: Negative results, Replication studies, Reanalysis of previous datasets.
