Transgenerational Effects of the Obesogen Tributyltin on Metabolic Health in Mice: Interactions with a Western Diet.
Obesity is a global health crisis, with increasing evidence linking environmental factors such as exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) to its development. This study examines the transgenerational effects of exposure to the model obesogen, tributyltin (TBT), on obesity and metabolic health, specifically focusing on how these effects interact with a diet modeling the 50th percentile of US dietary consumption (the Total Western Diet, TWD). Pregnant F0 dams were exposed to TBT, and their offspring were subjected at adulthood to different diets, including a high-fat diet and TWD, across multiple subsequent generations (F1-F3). We found that TBT exposure predisposed male offspring to increased fat accumulation, insulin resistance, and metabolic dysfunction, effects that were exacerbated by the TWD. Notably, male offspring displayed elevated leptin levels, hepatic fibrosis, and inflammatory responses under TWD exposure, suggesting an additive or synergistic relationship between obesogen exposure and dietary fat intake. These transgenerational effects were largely absent in female offspring, underscoring sex-specific vulnerabilities to environmental and dietary factors. Our results demonstrated that the combination of prenatal TBT exposure and TWD amplifies metabolic disturbances across generations, highlighting the need to consider both environmental chemicals and dietary patterns in addressing the obesity pandemic. This study underscores the critical role of early-life EDC exposures and dietary factors in shaping long-term metabolic health and the potential for transgenerational programming of susceptibility to obesity and metabolic disorders.
期刊介绍:
The mission of Endocrinology is to be the authoritative source of emerging hormone science and to disseminate that new knowledge to scientists, clinicians, and the public in a way that will enable "hormone science to health." Endocrinology welcomes the submission of original research investigating endocrine systems and diseases at all levels of biological organization, incorporating molecular mechanistic studies, such as hormone-receptor interactions, in all areas of endocrinology, as well as cross-disciplinary and integrative studies. The editors of Endocrinology encourage the submission of research in emerging areas not traditionally recognized as endocrinology or metabolism in addition to the following traditionally recognized fields: Adrenal; Bone Health and Osteoporosis; Cardiovascular Endocrinology; Diabetes; Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals; Endocrine Neoplasia and Cancer; Growth; Neuroendocrinology; Nuclear Receptors and Their Ligands; Obesity; Reproductive Endocrinology; Signaling Pathways; and Thyroid.
