Exercise or Dietotherapy Is Not Better than Returning to a Regular Diet to Rebuild Lipid Homeostasis of Rats.

ABSTRACT: Our aim was to explore the effects of dietary and behavior interventions on lipometabolism caused by an unhealthy high-fat diet and the best method to rebuild lipid homeostasis of this lifestyle. Apart from normal diet rats, 34 rats were fed with high-fat emulsion for 4 weeks and then intervened for another 4 weeks. Eight of them were classified into high-fat control group, and 9 were sorted into high-fat diet with rice vinegar group. Meanwhile, 10 were put into high-fat diet in swimming group, and 7 were just for refeeding normal diet group. Then, the data of body weight was recorded and analyzed. Indexes of serum samples were tested by kits. AMPKα, HNF1α, and CTRP6 in pancreas, liver, cardiac, and epididymis adipose tissues were detected by western blot. According to our experiments, swimming and refeeding groups reflected a better regulation on lipid homeostasis mainly by upregulating the expression of pancreas AMPKα. To be more specific, the refeeding rats showed lower T-CHO (P < 0.001) and LDL-C (P < 0.05), but higher weight gain (P < 0.001), insulin level (P < 0.01), and pancreas AMPKα (P < 0.01) than high-fat control rats. Compared with rats intervened by swimming or rice vinegar, they showed higher weight gain (P < 0.001), insulin level (P < 0.01), and HNF1α, but lower of CTRP6. In summary, refeeding diet functioned better in regulating the lipometabolic level after high-fat diet. Whatever approach mentioned above we adopted to intervene, the best policy to keep the balance of lipid homeostasis is to maintain a healthy diet.

Project description:Background:The prevalence of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in menopausal women is increasing, but current treatments have not been proven effective. The objective of this study was to investigate the treatment effects of genistein and running exercise in ovariectomized (OVX) rats with NASH.Methods:Thirty-six female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 6 groups, control; OVX with standard diet; OVX with high fat and high fructose (HFHF) diet for 4?weeks; OVX with HFHF and genistein treatment (16?mg/kg BW/day) for 5?weeks (OVX?+?HFHF+GEN); OVX with HFHF and moderate intensity exercise for 5?weeks (OVX?+?HFHF+EX); OVX with HFHF and combined treatments (OVX?+?HFHF+GEN?+?EX). Serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels, hepatic free fatty acid (FFA), hepatic glutathione (GSH), and hepatic malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were measured. Liver histology was examined to determine NASH severity.Results:OVX?+?HFHF group had the highest levels of hepatic FFA compared with OVX and control groups (5.92?±?0.84 vs. 0.37?±?0.01 vs. 0.42?±?0.04?nmol/mg protein, respectively, p?<?0.01). Serum IL-6 levels were significantly elevated in both OVX and OVX?+?HFHF groups as compared with controls (112.13?±?6.50 vs. 121.47?±?3.96 vs. 86.13?±?2.40?pg/mL, respectively, p?<?0.01). In OVX?+?HFHF group, hepatic MDA levels were higher, while GSH levels were lower than in OVX and control groups (MDA; 0.98?±?0.04 vs. 0.82?±?0.02 vs. 0.78?±?0.03?nmol/mg protein, and GSH; 46.01?±?0.91 vs. 55.21?±?1.40 vs. 57.94?±?0.32, respectively; p?<?0.01 for both). Comparing with OVX?+?HFHF group, rats that received genistein, exercise and combined treatments demonstrated an improvement in liver histopathology, decreased levels of hepatic FFA (1.44?±?0.21 vs. 0.45?±?0.04 vs. 0.49?±?0.05?nmol/mg protein, respectively, p?<?0.01), serum IL-6 (82.80?±?2.07 vs. 83.47?±?2.81 vs. 94.13?±?1.61?pg/mL, respectively, p?<?0.01), and hepatic MDA (0.80?±?0.03 vs. 0.76?±?0.02 vs. 0.76?±?0.03?nmol/mg protein, respectively, p?<?0.01).Conclusions:Genistein and moderate intensity exercise were effective in reducing the severity of NASH in OVX rats through the reduction in liver inflammation, oxidative stress and liver fat contents.
