To determine the effect of clofibrate on myocardial triglyceride accumulation in female obese Zucker rats and its role in lipotoxic heart disease.
Twenty four female Zucker rats were divided into four groups: lean rats+vehicle, lean rats+clofibrate, obese rats + vehicle, obese rats+clofibrate. Daily intraperitoneal injection of clofibrate (300 mg/kg) or vehicle (olive oil, 1 mL/kg) was given to the rats for two weeks. Plasma glucose, insulin, free fatty acids, triglycerdies, cholesterol, and cardiac triglycerdies and fatty acids were measured.
Clofibrate normalized plasma free fatty acid and cholesterol and reduced plasma triglyceride and insulin in obese rats. However, clofibrate led to accumulation of heart TG and increased myocardial long-chain unsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids in obese rats.
Clofibrate aggravates myocardial triglyceride accumulation in female obese Zucker rats. Further studies are needed for the use of clofibrate in treating cardiac lipid accumulation.
确定氯贝丁酯对雌性肥胖 Zucker 大鼠心肌甘油三酯蓄积的影响及其在脂毒性心脏病中的作用。
将 24 只雌性 Zucker 大鼠分为四组:瘦大鼠 + 赋形剂组、瘦大鼠 + 氯贝丁酯组、肥胖大鼠 + 赋形剂组、肥胖大鼠 + 氯贝丁酯组。每日给大鼠腹腔注射氯贝丁酯(300 mg/kg)或赋形剂(橄榄油,1 mL/kg),持续两周。测量血浆葡萄糖、胰岛素、游离脂肪酸、甘油三酯、胆固醇以及心脏甘油三酯和脂肪酸。
氯贝丁酯使肥胖大鼠的血浆游离脂肪酸和胆固醇正常化,并降低了血浆甘油三酯和胰岛素。然而,氯贝丁酯导致肥胖大鼠心脏 TG 蓄积,并增加了心肌长链不饱和脂肪酸和单不饱和脂肪酸。
氯贝丁酯加重雌性肥胖 Zucker 大鼠的心肌甘油三酯蓄积。氯贝丁酯在治疗心脏脂质蓄积方面的应用需要进一步研究。
