摘要
The objective of the present study was to determine whether exogenous somatotropin (STH) administration in conjunction with feed restriction could alter the composition of gain in the obese rat. Five-week-old female lean and obese Zucker rats were assigned to the following treatments for 6 wk: ad libitum fed (AL), restricted (similar to 75% of AL lean), and restricted with STH (2 mg STH/day). Growth rate was decreased in restricted groups and was normalized to that of the AL lean group in restricted rats treated with STH. In lean rats, restriction decreased protein accretion. Restriction plus STH treatment decreased lipid accretion but increased protein accretion and body weight gain compared with the AL lean group. As expected, feed restriction reduced body size in obese rats, but carcass lipid was maintained at 44%, a level similar to that of the AL obese rats. Lipid accretion rate was decreased with restriction in obese rats and was further reduced, to a level similar to that of the lean group, in the obese rats that were restricted and treated with STH. Protein accretion was decreased in the restricted obese group but was normalized in those treated with STH to a level similar to that in the AL lean group. Basal rates of lipolysis in isolated adipocytes were not affected by STH. However, STH treatment normalized the responsiveness of cells from the obese rats to stimulation of lipolysis by isoproterenol. The results demonstrate that a combination of caloric restriction and STH was effective in normalizing body weight and composition of gain in the obese Zucker rat.
