The storage conditions of high fat diet are the key factors for diet induced obesity and liver damage [HFDfre vs. HFDfri]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The diet induced obesity (DIO) mouse model has been widely used for obesity studies. Comparing to the composition of nutrients in the diet, the effects of storage conditions for high fat diet (HFD) on metabolic homeostasis have not been systemically investigated. In the current study, we tested the effects of HFD stored in different conditions and found the mice fed by HFD stored in the fridge (HFDfri) gained less weight than freezer (HFDfre). Further analysis revealed the changes of the relative abundance of medium chain triglyceride (MCT) in the HFDfri, which has much lower intestinal absorption rates, contributed to the body weight differences. In contrast, advanced liver damages and elevation of unfolded protein responses (UPR) was observed in the mice fed by the HFDfri. Depletion of UPR regulated gene Nnmt alleviated liver damages via inhibition of integrated stress response (ISR). Our study provided the initial evidence that HFD storage conditions have great impacts on both body weight changes and liver damages in the DIO model.
