Abstract:
Aim : To observe the influence of high fat-high sucrose diet and chronic stress on insulin resistance.
Methods :Male rats were divided into four groups:control,high fat-high sucrose diet(HFSD),chronic stress(CS),high fat-high sucrose diet plus chronic stress(HFSD+CS).After feeding the animals for 10 weeks,fat,glucose and insulin concentrations in blood and PPAR-α mRNA expression in liver were examined,and glucose infusion rate was detected by a hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp experiment.
Results :Insulin resistance was observed in all three treated groups,showing the highest in the HFSD+CS group.Dyslipidemia,hyperglycosemia,hyperinsulinism and the decrease of PPAR-α mRNA expression in liver were also shown in all treated groups.There was an obvious interaction of insulin resistance,hyperglycosemia and high FFA between high fat-high sucrose diet and chronic stress.
Conclusion :Combination of high fat-high sucrose diet and chronic stress could promote the development of insulin resistance,which is likely due to the high level of serum FFA.
