EARLIER KIDNEY INJURY ASSOSSIATED WITH HIGH FAT DIET FROM WEANING TO ADULT RATS

Le résumé fourni par la source

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of administration of a high fat diet after weaning, during 8 weeks, in renal morphology and metabolic profile. Weaned male Wistar rats (21 days, n=8/group) were randomized divided in Control group (CG), commercial rat feeding, and Hyperlipidic group (HG) by addition of 30% unsalted butter in commercial diet to rats during 8 weeks. The left kidney was collected under anesthesia (sodium pentobarbital, 50mg/kg) to histological glomerular analysis (5μm thick, Picrosirius Red) to evaluate Glomerular Tuft Area (GTA) and Bowman's Capsule Area(BCA). Blood was collected to biochemical assays: basal glycemia, triglycerides and total cholesterol using the enzymatic colorimetric kits (Labtest, BR). There was no change in basal glycemia (CG: 92 ± 4 vs HG: 85±4 mg/dL). However, HG showed an increase in Triglycerides (CG: 51 ±5 vs HG: 78±6 mg/dL) and Total Cholesterol (CG: 75 ±4 vs HG: 101±10 mg/dL). There was an important reduction in GTA (26%) and in the BCA (22%) in HG group. At the end of the protocol, we did not find differences in bodyweight between the groups, however, the adiposity was increased in HG (15 ±1g) when compared with CG (5.2±0.5 g). These data suggest high fat diet during lifespan induced metabolic alterations associated with earlier kidney injury. Supported By: Mackpesquisa (059/2011).
