Selective breeding for diet-induced obesity and resistance in Sprague-Dawley rats

Abstract: In outbred Sprague-Dawley rats, about one-half develop diet-induced obesity (DIO) on a diet relatively high in fat and energy (HE diet). The rest are diet resistant (DR), gaining weight and fat at the same rate as chow-fed controls. Here we selectively bred for high (DIO) and low (DR) weight gainers after 2 wk on HE diet. By the F5 generation, both male and female inbred DIO rats gained > 90% more weight than inbred DR rats on HE diets. Even on low-fat chow diet, DIO males were 31% and females were 22% heavier… Show more

“…6,7,14,18,[46][47][48][49] They have also been detected in adult OP rats at normal weight, although endogenous NPY, in addition to a suppression, may show no change or even an increase, depending in part on its level of sensitivity to the inhibitory actions of leptin and insulin. [7][8][9]16,50 These findings demonstrate that rats, identified as OP before puberty based on their slightly elevated weight gain, exhibit as adults a typical phenotype associated with obesity.…”

“…For example, in adult SpragueDawley rats on pure macronutrient or fat-rich diets, measures of weight gain, energy intake or fat preference are found to vary considerably in direct proportion to ultimate body fat accrual, [1][2][3][4][5] with the weight-gain measure providing the basis for selective breeding of rats prone vs resistant to obesity. 6,7 This variability has enabled investigators to identify measures in adult rats, at normal body weight, that can accurately and reproducibly differentiate distinct subgroups that are obesity-prone (OP) or obesity-resistant (OR). These markers of obesity include initial weight gain during the first few days on a high-fat diet, 1,8 levels of leptin after a single high-fat meal in rats maintained on a lab chow diet, 9 meal-induced release of insulin 10 and fasting levels of triglycerides or basal growth hormone secretion in rats on chow.…”

“…Acute studies (meal pattern analyses and locomotor activity) used male Harlan SpragueDawley rats (Harlan, Indianapolis, IN, USA) maintained on a moderately high-fat diet (32% kcal from fat; D12266B, Research Diets, New Brunswick, NJ, USA). Sustained infusion studies were conducted using in-bred male DIO-prone 19 male rats (Charles Rivers Labs, Wilmington, MA, USA) that were fattened for 6 weeks on a moderately high-fat diet (32% kcal from fat; Research Diets no. D12266B) and maintained ad libitum on this diet during testing.…”

“…Both diets were custom-prepared (Teklad Corporation, Madison, WI, USA; TD.85 080: LFCC diet, TD.83 402: HFS diet; Table 1) and were selected based on prior research (19,20,21) . Diets were designed to differ in energy density in order to address differences in bone mechanical properties between a high-energy-dense diet (HFS) and a lowenergy-dense diet (LFCC).…”
