ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that obesity induced by a diet rich in saturated fats and balanced in carbohydrates is associated with the development of systemic complications and comorbidities.METHODS:
Thirty-seven 60-day-old male Wistar rats were randomized into two groups control (C,n= 18, standard diet) and obese (OB, n= 19, high-saturated fat diet), for 33 weeks. Nutritional profile food and caloric intake, feed efficiency, body weight, and adiposity index. Complications in plasma were analyzed dyslipidemia, insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), glucose intolerance, hyperleptinemia, hyperinsulinemia, plasmatic C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6(IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α); in the myocardial and epididymal adipose tissue were assessed IL-6and TNF-α. Comorbidities diabetes mellitus and systemic blood pressure (SBP). Student'sttest, ANOVA, and Bonferroni P< 0.05.RESULTS:
The final body weight, feed efficiency, and adiposity index were higher in OB group than in control; although food intake was lower in OB group, caloric intake was similar in both groups. Specific parameters, such as LDL, cholesterol, triglycerides, HOMA-IR, CRP, TNF-αin epididymal adipose tissue, and IL-6 in the myocardium, were higher in obese rats than in controls. SBP, baseline glucose, and glucose after 2 h of overload were significantly increased in OB group; however, the severity was not enough to classify the animals as diabetic and hypertensive.CONCLUSION:
Obesity induced by a diet high in saturated fatty acids with balanced carbohydrates for 33 weeks in Wistar rats was effective in triggering complications but unable to develop comorbidities.Palavras-chave
