Project description:We used a Diet-Induced-Obesity approach using the zebrafish (Danio rerio) based on overfeeding to analyze the liver transcriptomic modulation in the disease and to determine how the obesity affects the immune response against an acute inflammatory stimulus as the lipopolysacharide (LPS). Overfed zebrafish were obese and showed signs of steatosis in their liver. Furthermore, the gene modulation profile resembled to that observed in humans. After the inflammatory stimulus, there was a clear differential immune response in normal and overfed fish. In normal fish, the response to LPS reported a typical host defensive reaction comparable to the one occurring in stimulated mammals whereas there was not any significantly modulated gene when comparing the expression of liver from LPS-stimulated with non-stimulated obese zebrafish.
