ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Energy status can alter thyroid hormone signalling in different tissues. Little is known about the effect of fasting on the local thyroid hormone metabolism under high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity. We aimed to investigate the fasting effect on deiodinase type 3 (DIO3) and thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) expression in liver and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) of HFD-induced obese mice.Methods:
The 30 male C57BL/6 mice were divided into three groups (n = 10/group) control (CON) group, obese (OB) group, and fasted obese (OBF) group. Materials In a 14-week study, the expression levels of DIO3 and TRs in the liver and VAT of mice were measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Gene expression results were shown as fold changes defined by 2-ΔΔct. Comparison between groups was performed by using one-way-ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA test.Results:
In the liver, there was a significantly lower expression of DIO3 and higher expression of TRs in obese fasted mice compared to obese mice. Compared to the lean mice, OBF mice had significantly lower expression of DIO3 and higher expression of TRß. In the VAT, mRNA expression of DIO3 was significantly increased in OBF and OB groups compared to the CON group. There were no significant differences in the mRNA expression of TRs between groups.Conclusion:
Our findings suggest that fasting may be more effective in improving thyroid hormone metabolism in the liver rather than the VAT of obese mice.
