Project description:Obesity and associated increased prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) disease is suggested to be positively modulated by a high protein (HP) diet in humans and rodents. The aim was to detect mechanisms by which a HP diet prevents hepatic lipid accumulation by means of transcriptomics. To study the acute and long term effect of a high protein ingestion on hepatic lipid accumulation under both low and high fat (HF) conditions, mice were fed combinations of high (35%) or low (10%) fat and high (50%) or normal (15%) protein diets for 1 or 12 weeks. Body composition, liver fat, VLDL production rate and gene expression were investigated. Differences in metabolic processes and functions in the liver were identified using gene set enrichment analysis on microarray data. Mice fed the HP diets developed less adiposity and decreased hepatic lipid accumulation due a combination of induced processes mainly involved in protein catabolism such as transamination, TCA cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. Feeding a HP diet can successfully prevent the development of NAFLD by using ingested energy for oxidation instead of storage. Wild type mice were fed combinations of high (35%) or low (10%) fat and high (50%) or normal (15%) protein diets for 1 or 12 weeks. After the diet intervention period, the animals were killed and liver tissue was removed. Total RNA was isolated, pooled and subjected to gene expression profiling.

Project description:Early life nutritional imbalances are risk factors for metabolic dysfunctions in adulthood, but the effects of perinatal exposure to high versus low protein diets are poorly understood. We exposed C57BL/6 offspring to a high protein/low carbohydrate (HP/LC) or low protein/high carbohydrate (LP/HC) diet during gestation and lactation, and measured metabolic phenotypes between birth and ten months of age in male offspring. Perinatal HP/LC and LP/HC exposures resulted in a decreased ability to clear glucose in the offspring, with reduced baseline insulin and glucose levels in the LP/HC group and a reduced insulin response post-glucose challenge in the HP/LC group. The LP/HC diet group also showed reduced weight at birth and at weaning age, whereas the HP/LC offspring showed an increased weight at weaning and increased adiposity after 5 months of age. Gene expression profiling of hypothalamic and liver tissues indicated alterations of diverse molecular pathways by both diets. Specifically, hypothalamic transcriptome and pathway analyses indicate perturbations of MAPK and hedgehog signaling, processes associated with neural restructuring and transmission, and phosphate metabolism by perinatal protein imbalances. Liver transcriptome data revealed changes in purine and phosphate metabolism, hedgehog signaling, and circadian rhythm pathways. Our results support that maternal protein imbalances perturb molecular pathways in central and peripheral metabolic tissues and predispose offspring to metabolic dysfunctions.

Project description:Intake of high-protein (HP) diets has increased over the last years, mainly due to their popularity for body weight control. Liver is the main organ handling ingested macronutrients and it is associated with the beginning of different pathologies. We aimed to deepen our knowledge on molecular pathways affected by long-term intake of an HP diet. We performed a transcriptome analysis on liver of rats chronically fed with a casein-rich HP diet and analyzed molecular parameters related to liver injury. Chronic increase in the dietary protein/carbohydrate ratio up-regulated processes related with amino acid uptake/metabolism and lipid synthesis, promoting a molecular environment indicative of hepatic triacylglycerol (TG) deposition. Moreover, changes in expression of genes involved in acid–base maintenance and oxidative stress indicate alterations in the pH balance due to the high acid load of the diet, which has been linked to liver/health damage. Up-regulation of immune-related genes was also observed. In concordance with changes at gene expression level, we observed increased liver TG content and increased serum markers of hepatic injury/inflammation (aspartate transaminase, C-reactive protein and TNF-alpha). Moreover, the HP diet strongly increased hepatic mRNA and protein levels of HSP90, a marker of liver injury. Thus, we show for the first time that long-term consumption of an HP diet, resulting in a high acid load, results in a hepatic transcriptome signature reflecting increased TG deposition and increased signs of health risk (increased inflammation, alterations in the acid–base equilibrium and oxidative stress). Persistence of this altered metabolic status could have unhealthy consequences.

After sacrification, livers were dissected, and immediately snap frozen in liquid nitrogen. Total RNA was isolated, quantified and qualified, and subsequently used for global gene expression profiling using Agilent 4x44K microarrays.

Project description:Despite a variety of seasoning ingredients in diets, little is known about their cooperative effect on animal metabolism. We fed rats a diet containing 30 wt.% instant noodle with a 26% fat-to-energy ratio for 30 days (N-group). Compared with rats that were fed the same diet without seasonings (C-group), the N-group showed lower liver triacylglycerol levels and higher fecal cholesterol levels. To assess the mechanisms underlying this phenotype, we conducted transcriptome analyses of the hypothalamic–pituitary axis (HP), liver and white adipose tissue (WAT). Our results suggest that these ingredients may affect lipid homeostasis via the HP axis.

Project description:The ratio of energy to protein in the finishing diet of growing pigs can impact on IMF content with consequences for pork quality. The objective of this study was to compare gene expression profiles of Musculus semimembranosus (SM) of animals divergent for IMF as a consequence of protein dietary restriction in an isocaloric diet. The animal model was derived through the imposition of low or high protein diets during the finisher stage in Duroc gilts. RNA was extracted from post mortem SM tissue, processed and hybridised to Affymetrix porcine GeneChip® arrays. Eleven purebred Duroc gilts were blocked on the basis of initial body weight and assigned to one of two dietary treatments. High (HP) and low protein (LP) diets were formulated to contain 217 and 128 g/kg crude protein (CP) respectively. The HP and LP diets contained 13.0 and 7 g/kg of total lysine, respectively. Downward adjustment of CP was achieved by increasing the wheat:soyabean meal ratio. Diets were isocaloric, formulated to an estimated digestible energy (DE) density of 14 MJ/kg.
