Fasting Mimicking Diet cycles prevent effects of a high fat diet on cardiometabolic risk factors and lifespan

ABSTRACT: Diet-induced obesity is the central cause of diabetes, cardiovascular disease as well as metabolic syndrome. Here, we have studied the efficacy of cycles of a 4-5 day fasting mimicking diet (FMD) in inhibiting high-fat, high calorie diet (HFCD) -induced obesity in mature female C57BL/6 mice. We show that a monthly 5-day cycle of FMD inhibit HFCD-mediated obesity by causing a reduction in calorie intake and accumulation of visceral and subcutaneous fat depots without lean body mass loss. FMD cycles also increase cardiac vascularity, function and stress resistance, and reverse the hypercholesterolemia caused by the HFCD. The sustained activation of adipocyte genes associated with mitochondrial metabolism and biogenesis and the sustained ketogenesis in the HFCD-fed mice subjected to monthly cycles of FMD indicate a reprogramming of fat cell metabolism that is likely to be at the center of obesity reversal. All these improvements could explain the protection from early mortality elicited by the high-fat, high calorie diet.

Project description:This dataset contains proteomic data from mice with high or low weight gain in response to a high fat diet. Both host and microbial proteins are present. In the supplemental, there are also tables and supplementary files that can be used for replicating the bioinformatic analysis. Abstract: Consumption of refined high-fat, low-fiber diets promotes development of obesity and its associated consequences. While genetics play an important role in dictating susceptibility to such obesogenic diets, mice with nearly uniform genetics exhibit marked heterogeneity in their extent of obesity in response to such diets. This suggests non-genetic determinants play a role in diet-induced obesity. Hence, we sought to identify parameters that predict, and/or correlate with, development of obesity in response to an obesogenic diet. We assayed behavior, metabolic parameters, inflammatory markers/cytokines, microbiota composition, and the fecal metaproteome, in a cohort of mice (n=50) prior to, and the 8 weeks following, administration of an obesogenic high-fat low-fiber diet. Neither behavioral testing nor quantitation of inflammatory markers broadly predicted severity of diet-induced obesity. Although, the small subset of mice that exhibited basal elevations in serum IL-6 (n=5) were among the more obese mice in the cohort. While fecal microbiota composition changed markedly in response to the obesogenic diet, it lacked the ability to predict which mice were relative prone or resistant to obesity. In contrast, fecal metaproteome analysis revealed functional and taxonomic differences among the proteins associated with proneness to obesity. Targeted interrogation of microbiota composition data successfully validated the taxonomic differences seen in the metaproteome. While future work will be needed to determine the breadth of applicability of these associations to other cohorts of animals and humans, this study nonetheless highlights the potential power of gut microbial proteins to predict and perhaps impact development of obesity.
