Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess the response of a large animal model to high dietary fat and fructose (HFFD). Three different metabolic assessments were performed during 13 wk of feeding an HFFD ( n = 10) or chow control (CTR, n = 4) diet: oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs; baseline, 4 and 8 wk), hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps (HIEGs; baseline and 10 wk) and hyperinsulinemic-hyperglycemic clamps (HIHGs, 13 wk). The ΔAUC for glucose during the OGTTs more than doubled after 4 and 8 wk of HFFD feeding, and the average glucose infusion rate required to maintain euglycemia during the HIEG clamps decreased by ≈30% after 10 wk of HFFD feeding. These changes did not occur in the CTR group. The HIHG clamps included experimental periods 1 (P1, 0–90 min) and 2 (P2, 90–180 min). During P1, somatostatin, basal intraportal glucagon, 4 × basal intraportal insulin, and peripheral glucose (to double the hepatic glucose load) were infused; during P2, glucose was also infused intraportally (4.0 mg·kg−1·min−1). Net hepatic glucose uptake during P1 and P2 was −0.4 ± 0.1 [output] and 0.2 ± 0.8 mg·kg−1·min−1 in the HFFD group, respectively, and 1.8 ± 0.8 and 3.5 ± 1.0 mg·kg−1·min−1 in the CTR group, respectively ( P < 0.05 vs. HFFD during P1 and P2). Glycogen synthesis through the direct pathway was 0.5 ± 0.2 and 1.5 ± 0.4 mg·kg−1·min−1 in the HFFD and CTR groups, respectively ( P < 0.05 vs. HFFD). In conclusion, chronic consumption of an HFFD diminished the sensitivity of the liver to hormonal and glycemic cues and resulted in a marked impairment in NHGU and glycogen synthesis.Keywords
