Growing female obese Zucker (fa/fa) rats were treated (via intragastric gavage) for 21 d with either a (i) vehicle [corn oil; 0.9 g/kg body weight (BW)], (ii) CLA mixture [50:50; trans-10, cis-12 and cis-9, trans-11 CLA], (iii) cis-9,trans-11 CLA, or (iv) trans- 10, cis-12 CLA (CLA treatments at 1.5 g CLA/kg BW). Compared with controls, average daily gain (g/d) was reduced 24 and 44% by the CLA mixture and trans-10, cis-12 CLA, respectively. There was no treatment effect on average whole-body (minus heart and liver) composition (dry matter basis): fat (70.2%), protein (21.0%), and ash (4.3%). Compared with animals treated with cis-9,trans-11 CLA, obese Zucker rats treated with trans-10, cis-12 and the CLA mixture had 7.8% more carcass water. Treatment had no effect on heart or liver weights or on heart or liver weights as a percentage of body weight, but compared with the other treatments trans-10, cis-12 CLA increased liver lipid content by 33%. Hepatic lipid ratios of 16:1/16:0 and 18:1/18:0 (a proxy for delta9-desaturase capability) were not affected by treatment (0.1 and 0.6, respectively). Similar to previous reports, CLA increased hepatic lipid content and altered both liver and carcass FA composition (i.e., reduced arachidonic acid content), but the ability of CLA to manipulate body composition in obese Zucker rats remains questionable.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007536 Isomerism The phenomenon whereby certain chemical compounds have structures that are different although the compounds possess the same elemental composition. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 5th ed) Isomerisms
D009765 Obesity A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).
D009929 Organ Size The measurement of an organ in volume, mass, or heaviness. Organ Volume,Organ Weight,Size, Organ,Weight, Organ
D011924 Rats, Zucker Two populations of Zucker rats have been cited in research--the "fatty" or obese and the lean. The "fatty" rat (Rattus norvegicus) appeared as a spontaneous mutant. The obese condition appears to be due to a single recessive gene. Zucker Rat,Zucker Rats,Rat, Zucker

D004032 Diet Regular course of eating and drinking adopted by a person or animal. Diets
D005227 Fatty Acids Organic, monobasic acids derived from hydrocarbons by the equivalent of oxidation of a methyl group to an alcohol, aldehyde, and then acid. Fatty acids are saturated and unsaturated (FATTY ACIDS, UNSATURATED).

D005260 Female Females
D006128 Growth Gradual increase in the number, the size, and the complexity of cells of an individual. Growth generally results in increase in ORGAN WEIGHT; BODY WEIGHT; and BODY HEIGHT.
D000273 Adipose Tissue Specialized connective tissue composed of fat cells (ADIPOCYTES). It is the site of stored FATS, usually in the form of TRIGLYCERIDES. In mammals, there are two types of adipose tissue, the WHITE FAT and the BROWN FAT. Their relative distributions vary in different species with most adipose tissue being white.
