Mcd Diet Mice
Tlr9 deletion interleukin 1 receptor deletion or myd88 deletion were all protective against the cdaa diet induced steatohepatitis.
Mcd diet mice. Weight loss in the mcd diet fed group was more pronounced in the beginning of the diet. However ipla2β deficiency attenuated mcd induced elevation of serum transaminase. 2003 examined the responses of male and female wistar long evans and sprague dawley rats and c57bl6 mice to an mcd diet. Interestingly wt mice.
Mice deficient in tlr4 or its co receptor myeloid differentiation protein 2 md 2 are protected from mcd diet induced nash. In this recent publication downregulation of scd 1 gene expression in mcd diet fed mice correlated with the disappearance of scd 1 protein from hepatic microsomes. Mcd diet feeding of female wild type for 5 weeks induced hepatic steatosis with a severe reduction of body and visceral fat weights concomitant with a decrease of hepatic phosphatidylcholine. However ipla2β deficiency attenuated mcd induced elevation of serum transaminase.
Mcd feeding decreased fas and scd 1 gene expression consistent with the hypermetabolic state recently described in mcd diet fed mice. The wistar strain and male sex were associated with the greatest degree of steatosis in rats. Experimental liver disease was induced by 8 weeks of mcd feeding in wild type wt mice either with or without commensal microbiota depletion by continuous broad spectrum antibiotic ab treatment. Mcd diet feeding of female wild type for 5 weeks induced hepatic steatosis with a severe reduction of body and visceral fat weights concomitant with a decrease of hepatic phosphatidylcholine.
These parameters were not altered in mcd fed ipla2β null mice. In apoe mice fed with wd the portal pressure was increased after seven weeks of diet compared to apoe mice fed normal chow and to wt mice fed with mcd diet. Mcd diet induced steatohepatitis. These parameters were not altered in mcd fed ipla2β null mice.
Mcd diet fed animals weighed 40 less and western diet fed animals 14 more than age and gender matched chow fed mice. In methionine choline deficient mcd diet induced nash. As the mcd diet rapidly induces the liver manifestation of nash as well as an important weight loss mice in the mcd group were fed a ctrl diet for 5 weeks followed by 7 weeks of mcd diet.
