Abstract
Previous studies in Western diet (WD)-fed male rats have highlighted a link between the stimulation of cardiac contractility, mitochondrial adaptations and a pro-inflammatory fatty acid profile of phospholipids in the heart. Our objectives were to determine (1) if WD-fed female Wistar rats and obese humans display a similar pro-inflammatory profile in their cardiac phospholipids and (2) if this lipid profile is associated with deleterious effects on the heart of the female rodents. Female Wistar rats were fed WD for 5 weeks or a laboratory chow as a control. Ionic homeostasis, redox status, inflammation markers, and fatty acid composition of phospholipids were analysed in the heart. WD increased the abdominal fat mass without modifying the body weight of female rats. As previously found in males, a WD induced a shift in membrane fatty acid composition toward a pro-inflammatory profile in the female rats, but not in obese humans. It was associated with an increased COX2 expression suggesting an increased pro-inflammatory eicosanoid production. Signs of increased intracellular calcium strongly supported a stimulation of cardiac contractility without any induction of apoptosis. The heart of WD-fed rats exhibited a hypoxic state as a higher HIF1-α expression was reported. The expressions of antioxidant enzymes were increased, but the redox reserves against reactive oxygen species were lowered. In conclusion, as previously observed in males, we suppose that cardiac abnormalities are magnified with severe obesity in female rats, leading to hypoxia and intense oxidative stress which could ultimately induce cell death and heart failure.
