ABSTRACT: 3 groups of diet (1, 2, and 3) at two time points (Pre- and Post-diet). 3 diets differed in the amount and type of protein consumed. Diet 1: adequate protein, low dairy (APLD: 15% daily calories from protein, 0-1 servings of dairy); diet 2: adequate protein, moderate dairy (APMD: 15% daily calories from protein, 3-4 servings/d); diet 3: high protein, high dairy (HPHD: 30% daily calories from protein, 6-7 servings of dairy). Randomized controlled trial, repeated measures design, all groups exercised, main difference was nutrition.

Project description:We used microarray to determine the differences in hepatic gene expression for diet-induced obese Sprague-Dawley rats consuming different dietary proteins. Proteins of interest included skim milk powder (dairy), casein, and the branched-chain amino acid, leucine. The primary aims of this study were: (i) to compare the effects of diets with protein derived from casein, casein supplemented with leucine, and complete dairy on body composition and insulin sensitivity; and (ii) to determine if there is a synergistic effect of dietary Ca and protein source on body composition and insulin sensitivity. Secondarily, we used microarray analysis to examine the effect of casein, leucine, or complete dairy containing diets on the expression of hepatic genes related to lipid and glucose metabolism. Diet induced obese rats consumed ad libitum, a high fat, high sucrose diet for 8 weeks (n=4). All diets had an energy density of 4.6 kcal/gram and provided 10% of total energy from protein [casein, complete dairy (skim milk powder), or leucine-supplemented casein (7.1% from casein plus 2.9% from leucine)]. The casein treatment was the control diet.

Project description:Dahl salt-sensitive (DS) rats were obtained from Harlan Sprague Dawley Laboratory at 5 weeks of age. At 6 weeks of age, physiologic cardiac hypertrophy was generated by a vigorous daily exercise regimen for 6 weeks (e group). The exercise protocol is based on those described previously with modifications (Wisloff U et al., 2001; Jin H et al., 1994). Rats were exercised daily for 6 weeks on a rodent treadmill (Exer-6M; Columbus Instruments). The exercise program consisted of three weeks of progressively strenuous exercise regimens; followed by three weeks of maintenance period, during which the rats were exercised at 16 m/min at a 5o incline for 90 minutes/day. All rats completed the exercise protocol. Pathological cardiac hypertrophy was generated by feeding a 6% NaCl diet to DS rats at 6 weeks of age (h group) (Inoko M et al., 1994). Control rats (c group) were age matched and sedentary DS rats fed normal rat chow. Read more at http://cardiogenomics.med.harvard.edu/groups/proj1/pages/rat_home.html Keywords: other

Project description:Long-term consumption of erythritol, a widely used sugar substitute, has been associated with increased risks of thrombosis and cardiometabolic diseases. In this study, we investigated the effects and mechanisms of allulose in mitigating these risks compared to erythritol using the clusterProfiler tool. Since a high-fat diet (HFD) is known to enhance platelet aggregation, we compared the pathways related to these processes between groups of mice treated with allulose and those treated with erythritol. While erythritol exacerbated HFD-induced increased platelet aggregation, allulose treatment significantly reduced it. The groups consisted of a normal diet group (ND, with 10% of calories derived from fat), a high-fat diet group (HFD, with 40% of calories from fat), a high-fat diet with 5% allulose supplementation (ALLU), and a high-fat diet with 5% erythritol supplementation (ERY).
Project description:The effect of dietary calcium and dairy proteins on adipose tissue gene expression profile in diet induced obesity Experiment Overall Design: 9-week-old C57Bl/6J-mice were divided into two groups (n=10/group). The control diet was a standard high-fat diet (60% of energy) low in calcium (0.4%). The whey protein diet was a high-calcium (1.8%) high-fat diet with whey protein isolate. After the 21-week treatment, the adipose tissue transcript profiling (2 mice/group) was carried out using Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 array.
Project description:Background: Consumption of high fat diets has negative impacts on health and well-being, some of which may be epigenetically regulated. Selenium and folate are two compounds which influence epigenetic mechanisms. We investigated the hypothesis that post-weaning supplementation with adequate levels of selenium and folate in mouse offspring fed a high fat, low selenium and folate diet during gestation and lactation will lead to epigenetic changes of potential importance for long-term health. Female offspring of mothers fed the experimental diet were either maintained on this diet (HF-low-low), or weaned onto a high-fat diet with sufficient levels of selenium and folate (HF-low-suf), for 8 weeks. Gene and protein expression, DNA methylation, and histone modifications were measured in colon and liver of female offspring. Results: Adequate levels of selenium and folate post-weaning affected gene expression in colon and liver of offspring, including decreasing Slc2a4 gene expression. Protein expression was only altered in the liver. There was no effect of adequate levels of selenium and folate on global histone modifications in the liver. Global liver DNA methylation was decreased in mice switched to adequate levels of selenium and folate, but there was no effect on methylation of specific CpG sites within the Slc2a4 gene in liver. Conclusions: Post-weaning supplementation with adequate levels of selenium and folate in female offspring of mice fed high-fat diets during gestation and lactation can alter global DNA methylation in liver. This may be one mechanism by which the negative effects of a poor diet during early life can be ameliorated. Further research is required to establish what role epigenetic changes play in mediating observed changes in gene and protein expression, and the relevance of these changes to health. Female wild type C57BL/6 mice (Animal Resource Centre, Western Australia) were fed a High Fat diet containing low levels of selenium and folate (HF-Low) for 7 days prior to mating with male C57BL/6 mice (Ruakura Small Animal Facility, Hamilton, New Zealand). Mothers were maintained on the HF-Low diet throughout gestation and lactation. Offspring of these female mice were randomly assigned to one of two different dietary treatments: either the same diet as the mothers (HF-Low), or a High Fat diet containing adequate selenium and folate (HF-Suf). At 12 weeks of age, mice were euthanized and colon and liver samples taken for microarray, proteomics, and DNA methylation analyses. Genomic DNA, total RNA and protein from whole colon and liver tissue was extracted using an AllPrepM-BM-. DNA/RNA/Protein mini kit (Qiagen, Cat number 80004). Colon and liver RNA from six female offspring on the HF-Low diet was compared with colon and liver RNA from six female offspring on the HF-Suf diet. All individual RNA samples were hybridized against a common reference RNA on separate arrays. The reference RNA was prepared by pooling in equimolar proportions RNA extracted from the intestine and liver of twelve female C57BL/6 mice, these being all of the mice from which samples were derived for microarray analysis in the current study.
Project description:Microarray analyses were performed in order to determine the effect of galectin-3 ablation on the endothelial transcriptional response in a mouse model of type 2 diabetes. Galectin-3-deficient mice (KO) and wild-type C57BL/6 (WT) were fed a high-fat diet (60% fat calories) or standard chow for 8 weeks. CD105+/CD45- endothelial cells were isolated from the aortae and skeletal muscles of these mice by FACS. Whole genome microarray expression profiling revealed greater transcriptional dysregulation in the endothelium of the KO after high-fat feeding compared to WT. Transcripts dysregulated in the KO endothelium after HFD include those involved in glucose uptake and insulin signaling, oxidative stress, vasoregulation, coagulation, and atherogenesis. Real-time PCR confirmed transcriptional downregulation of the glucose transporter, Glut4, and immunofluorescence staining confirmed reduced GLUT4 protein in the endothelium and mudcle of the KO compared to WT. The transcriptional and histological data was consistent with physiological studies showing exacerbated hyperglycemia and coagulation in the KO. These results suggest that galectin-3 serves a protective role against metabolic dysregulation and endothelial dysfunction in diabetes. Galectin-3-deficient mice (KO) and wild-type C57BL/6 (WT) were fed either a high-fat diet (60% fat calories) or standard chow diet (12% fat calories) for 8 weeks. Three independent experiments were performed. For each experiment, the aorta and skeletal muscle from 3-4 animals per diet/genotype group were excised and pooled for each tissue. Live, CD105+/CD45- endothelial cells were isolated from the aortic and muscle suspensions by FACS.
