The purpose of the present study was to characterize the time course of adaptation (i.e., circulating metabolites and hormones, fat pad mass, lipoprotein lipase) to a high-fat diet in obesity-prone (OP) and obesity-resistant (OR) male Wistar rats. Delineation of OP and OR was based on body weight gain (upper tertile for OP; lower tertile for OR) after 1 wk on a high-fat diet (60% of kcal from corn oil). Rats were killed after 1, 2, or 5 wk of the dietary period. Increased body weight and percent body fat in OP rats at 1 wk could not be accounted for by increased retroperitoneal or epididymal fat pad weight. Plasma nonesterified fatty acids and triglycerides, as well as blood concentrations of glucose, lactate, and glycerol, were similar throughout the study. Plasma insulin was significantly greater in OP vs. OR rats and low-fat diet (LFD; 20% of kcal from corn oil) controls at 5 wk only, and blood beta-hydroxybutyrate (mM) was significantly higher in OR compared with OP and LFD rats at 1, 2, and 5 wk. Lipoprotein lipase mRNA and activity were significantly greater in epididymal fat pad and significantly lower in gastrocnemius muscle of OP vs. OR rats at 1 wk. Results suggest that early (i.e., 1 wk) differences in body weight and fat weight between OP and OR rats are not due to fat deposition in retroperitoneal or epididymal fat depots, and tissue-specific changes in LPL (increase in epididymal fat pad and decrease in gastrocnemius muscle) that occur in OP compared with OR rats after 1 wk on a high-fat diet provide a metabolic environment favoring fat storage.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008071 Lipoprotein Lipase An enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyzes the reaction of triacylglycerol and water to yield diacylglycerol and a fatty acid anion. The enzyme hydrolyzes triacylglycerols in chylomicrons, very-low-density lipoproteins, low-density lipoproteins, and diacylglycerols. It occurs on capillary endothelial surfaces, especially in mammary, muscle, and adipose tissue. Genetic deficiency of the enzyme causes familial hyperlipoproteinemia Type I.

D008297 Male Males
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
D001823 Body Composition The relative amounts of various components in the body, such as percentage of body fat. Body Compositions,Composition, Body,Compositions, Body
D001835 Body Weight The mass or quantity of heaviness of an individual. It is expressed by units of pounds or kilograms. Body Weights,Weight, Body,Weights, Body

D004198 Disease Susceptibility A constitution or condition of the body which makes the tissues react in special ways to certain extrinsic stimuli and thus tends to make the individual more than usually susceptible to certain diseases.

D006728 Hormones Chemical substances having a specific regulatory effect on the activity of a certain organ or organs. The term was originally applied to substances secreted by various ENDOCRINE GLANDS and transported in the bloodstream to the target organs. It is sometimes extended to include those substances that are not produced by the endocrine glands but that have similar effects.
