High‐fat Diets: Modeling the Metabolic Disorders of Human Obesity in Rodents

Buettner, Roland, Schölmerich, Jürgen, Bollheimer, L. Cornelius·2007·Obesity

Abstract

Research Methods and Procedures: High‐fat (HF) diet feeding can induce obesity and metabolic disorders in rodents that resemble the human metabolic syndrome. However, this dietary intervention is not standardized, and the HF‐induced phenotype varies distinctly among different studies. The question which HF diet type is best to model the metabolic deterioration seen in human obesity remains unclear. Therefore, in this review, metabolic data obtained with different HF diet approaches are compiled. Both whole‐body and organ‐specific diet effects are analyzed. Results: On the basis of these results, we conclude that animal fats and ω‐6/ω‐9‐containing plant oils can be used to generate an obese and insulin‐resistant phenotype in rodents, whereas fish oil‐fed animals do not develop these disorders. Discussion: Looking at the present data, it does not seem possible to define an ideal HF diet, and an exact definition of diet composition and a thorough metabolic characterization of the HF diet effects in a researcher's specific laboratory setting remains essential for metabolic studies with this model.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
