Different origin of hypertriglyceridemia induced by a high-fat and a high-sucrose diet in ventromedial hypothalamic-lesioned obese and normal rats

Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To clarify the mechanism by which plasma triacylglycerol is affected by a high fat or a sucrose diet. DESIGN: Two sets of six groups each having six rats were prepared Ð (1) ventromedial hypothalamic (VMH)-lesioned rats fed a standard diet; (2) sham VMH-lesioned rats fed a standard diet; (3) VMH-lesioned rats fed a high-fat diet; (4) sham VMH-lesioned rats fed a high-fat diet; (5) VMH-lesioned rats fed a high-sucrose diet; and (6) sham VMH-lesioned rats fed a high-sucrose diet. After VMH lesions and… Show more

“…Compared to lean rats, the obese rats on the three diets exhibited elevated levels of leptin and insulin and increased activity of aLPL. These measures, known to be closely related to body fat accrual, 23,24,36 are shown here to rise with adiposity regardless of diet. Of particular interest is the finding that in HCD-induced obesity, these measures increased in the absence of a change in circulating levels of the metabolites, both glucose and lipids.…”

“…2,3,16 There are few studies, however, that have actually compared obese to lean rats maintained on an HCD. The limited evidence indicates that hyperinsulinemia and hyperleptinemia are evident in obese animals whether on an HFD or HCD, [23][24][25] while dietary fat is a critical stimulus for producing hyperglycemia as well as hyperphagia. 26 In contrast, sucrose-or starch-rich diets reveal in obese rats increased carbohydrate metabolism in muscle, which is not evident in obese animals on an HFD.…”

“…One possibility is that glucose may have altered the physical and chemical properties of intestinal lipoproteins in a fashion that enhanced their clearance from the circulation, but this is purely speculative. A second possibility relates to the fact that chronic sucrose feeding reduced fractional removal of postprandial lipoproteins, 17 and TRL particles from fructose-fed rats were less effectively cleared than that from glucose-fed rats. 45 If this were the case, an increase in fractional clearance, similar to glucose, would be lost with fructose infusion.…”

“…Treatment of rhesus monkeys with sucrose or lactose enriched diet resulted in more proliferative areas in the intimal lesions, together with hypercholesterolemia (lactose>sucrose), and showed a tendency towards increased aortic cholesterol content when compared to control group [59]. Studies showed a positive correlation between carbohydrates and triglycerides levels in serum from humans or rodent models [60][61][62][63][64]. Increasing sucrose proportions in a controlled diet (44% of energy as carbohydrate) resulted in elevations of fasting plasma triacylglycenol concentrations in normal men [65].…”
