[The Relationship of Obesity to the Character of Nutrition].

ABSTRACT

UNLABELLED The aim of the investigation was to study pathogenesis of abdominal obesity on the model of experimental fatty dystrophy in rats; to assess the state of lipid and protein metabolism and to elucidate morpho-biochemical interrelations between pathogenesis of fatty liver dystrophy and character of nutrition. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Male Wistar rats (n = 42, weight 210 g) were object of the research. Three groups of animals were formed rats of group 1 (control group, n = 15) received standard vivarium diet; rats of group 2 (n = 15) received hypercaloric fatty diet with allyl alcohol; rats of group 3 (with alloxan diabetes, n = 12) also received hypercaloric fatty diet with allyl alcohol. Rats were maintained on these diets for 90 days and were controlled every 30 days. RESULTS: Dynamics of body mass of animals after 90 days of feeding was group 1--from 200 ± 10 to 230 ± 10, group 2--from 200 ± 10 to 385 ± 5, group 3--from 200 ± 10 to 400 ± 10 g. CONCLUSION: Dynamic development of obesity and liver dystrophy is caused by disturbances of lipid and protein metabolism at the background of imbalance of alimentary fat and metabolic changes. Lipid disorganization is caused by the deficiency of the hepatrophic factors.
