2310-PUB: Chronic Western Diets Initiate Fibrosis Progression in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver of Male Mice Modifying the PPARγ Pathway via Mir-27b-5p Regulation
2020
Increased fructose intake in Western diets contributes to metabolic diseases. However, the epigenetic mechanisms are mostly unknown. Here, six week-old C57BL/6J male and female mice were fed with a low-fat diet (LFD), high-fat diet (HFD), and high-fat high-fructose diet (HFD-HF) for 20 weeks. We determined that HFD-HF or HFD mice experienced significant metabolic dysregulation compared to the LFD. Metabolic changes in male mice were significantly dysregulated compared to female mice. HFD-HF and HDF male-specific responses included physiological/metabolic changes such as significant increased body weight, increased liver size, increased fasting glucose levels and downregulated PPARγ (P Disclosure J.
