Abstract
Background/aims: Caloric restriction (CR) has proven to be the most effective dietary intervention for reducing cardiovascular disease (CVD) associated with obesity. Depending on the age of the mice the effect of caloric restriction was diverse. Therefore, the effect of CR on the development of atherosclerosis in young and adult ApoE/LDLr-/- mice was evaluated.
Methods: Eight-week-old and 20-week-old male mice received a control diet. Young mice were fed for eight weeks, whereas adult mice for 5 weeks. To assess whether individual housing influenced the tested parameters, control animals were housed in colony cages (AL) or individually (stressAL; sAL) and fed ad libitum. Individually housed caloric restriction (CR) mice received a 30% less diet compared to AL group.
Results: The body weight of CR mice was significantly lower compared to the AL and sAL groups. TCh and LDL levels were significantly increased in young CR mice. No differences in adult animals were observed. TAG levels significantly decreased in both young and adult CR mice. CR induced atherosclerosis in young mice. The FMO3 gene was upregulated in young animals. Microbiota composition changed. At the genus level, compared to the control, CR group exhibited a higher relative abundance of the Enterococcus, Clostridium_sensu_stricto_1 , Rikenella and a lower relative abundance of the CAG_352 (P< 0.05) genera.
Conclusion: Caloric restriction exacerbated atherosclerosis in young ApoE/LDLr-/- mice.
期刊介绍:
Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry is a multidisciplinary scientific forum dedicated to advancing the frontiers of basic cellular research. It addresses scientists from both the physiological and biochemical disciplines as well as related fields such as genetics, molecular biology, pathophysiology, pathobiochemistry and cellular toxicology & pharmacology. Original papers and reviews on the mechanisms of intracellular transmission, cellular metabolism, cell growth, differentiation and death, ion channels and carriers, and the maintenance, regulation and disturbances of cell volume are presented. Appearing monthly under peer review, Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry takes an active role in the concerted international effort to unravel the mechanisms of cellular function.
