ABSTRACT
Previously we have shown that young mice with a dominant severe form of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), caused by mutated collagen type I, exhibit an altered glucose/insulin metabolism and energy expenditure along with elevated levels of osteocalcin, a bone-derived hormone involved in the regulation of whole-body metabolism. This study aimed to examine the long-term effects of a western diet in these OI mice. Male and female OI mice and wild type littermates (WT) were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) or a matched low-fat diet (LFD) for 26 weeks. HFD-induced obesity was observed in male and female WT and female OI mice, but not in male OI mice. HFD-fed WT and OI mice of both sexes developed hyperglycemia and glucose intolerance, but the degree of glucose intolerance was significantly lower in male and female OI mice compared to sex- and diet-matched WT mice. Indirect calorimetry revealed increased movement of male OI mice on HFD compared to LFD and, while HFD lowered energy expenditure in WT mice, energy expenditure was not changed in OI mice. Further, HFD-fed male OI mice demonstrated a diet-induced increased expression of the thermogenesis genes, Ucp1 and Pgc1α, in brown adipose tissue. On LFD, total and Gla-13 osteocalcin levels were similar in 30-week-old WT and OI mice, but on HFD, both were significantly higher in OI mice than WT. Thus, male OI mice respond to HFD with increased movement, energy expenditure, brown adipose tissue thermogenesis, and higher levels of osteocalcin, resulting in partial protection against HFD-induced obesity.
