Background/objective: Dietary fat sources modulate fasting serum concentration of adipokines, particularly adiponectin. However, previous studies utilized obese animals in which adipose tissue function is severely altered. Thus, the present study aimed to assess the postprandial regulation of adipokine secretion in nonobese rats that consumed high-fat diet (HFD) composed of different types of fat for a short time.

- Recent studies show that metabolic issues linked to obesity stem from dysfunctional fat tissue, influenced by diet.
- The research focused on how different fats (coconut or soybean oil) and proteins (casein or soy) affected white fat tissue in Zucker rats, revealing that soybean oil lessened fat cell size and altered fatty acid composition.
- Findings suggest that soybean oil and soy protein work together to enhance fat metabolism in white adipose tissue, impacting gene expression related to lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, even in obese rats.
