High Fat Diet Enhances Cardiac Abnormalities In Shr Rats: Protective Role Of Heme Oxygenaseadiponectin Axis, Jian Cao, Komal Sodhi, Nitin Puri, Sumit R. Monu, Rita Rezzani, Nader G. Abraham

Nader G. Abraham

Background High dietary fat intake is a major risk factor for development of cardiovascular and metabolic dysfunction including obesity, cardiomyopathy and hypertension. Methods The present study was designed to examine effect of high fat (HF) diet on cardio-vascular structure and function in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), fed HF diet for 15 weeks, a phenotype designed to mimic metabolic syndrome. Results Development of metabolic syndrome like phenotype was confirmed using parameters, including body weight, total cholesterol and blood pressure levels. High fat diet impaired vascular relaxation by acetylcholine and exacerbated cardiac dysfunction in SHRs as evidenced by lower left ventricular function, …
