- Ectopic fat deposition linked to a high-fat diet (HFD) is associated with metabolic syndrome but lacks noninvasive evaluation tools for tracking related abnormalities.
- The study used male Wistar rats to compare the effects of a normal diet and HFD over 16 weeks, utilizing techniques like MRI and biochemical analysis to assess fat distribution and metabolite profiles.
- Results indicated that visceral fat correlated strongly with blood cholesterol, while liver fat content showed a connection with certain metabolites, identifying five potential biomarkers to differentiate between HFD and normal diets, confirming the negative impact of long-term HFD on metabolism.
Chronic consumption of a high-fat diet induces obesity and impairs the ultra-structure of organs and tissues. We examined the effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor-dapagliflozin on renal and pancreatic injuries in obese condition. Rats were fed a high-fat diet for 16 weeks to induce obesity.
