Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the postprandial leptin response in rats with and without metabolic syndrome induced by a fructose-enriched diet. The effect of aging and the association between variations in metabolic substrates was also evaluated. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and fasting/re-feeding test were used to evaluate the responses of leptin and to explore the dynamic relationship between endogenous leptin and metabolic substrates, including glucose, insulin and triglycerides (TG). At the 7th week, plasma leptin was unchanged in control rats after oral glucose loading. However, plasma leptin levels increased in fructose-fed rats with insulin resistant OGTT curves. At the 11th month, plasma leptin level was reduced during starvation and returned to the level prior to starvation during re-feeding in control rats. In contrast, the starvation-induced reduction in leptin showed a potentially larger rebound effect during re-feeding in fructose-fed rats. Analysis of covariance demonstrated that there alone was no interactive effect of dietary manipulation between leptin and TG, suggesting that fructose diet-induced insulin resistance-related metabolic syndrome may concomitantly elevate leptin and TG. Furthermore, multiple regression analysis suggests TG was the primary correlative determinant of endogenous leptin concentration. Our data showed that there are different patterns of leptin response to OGTT and fasting/re-feeding tests in rats with and without metabolic syndrome. The results suggest that these effects may be related to a TG-mediated impairment of leptin function and a protective mechanism to reduce lipid-induced tissue damage in patients with metabolic syndrome.
