Deskripsi

Sucrose overfeeding increases intrahepatocellular (IHCL) and intramyocellular (IMCL) lipid concentrations in healthy subjects. We hypothesized that these effects would be modulated by diet protein/fat content. Twelve healthy men and women were studied on two occasions in a randomized, cross-over trial. On each occasion, they received a 3-day 12% protein weight maintenance diet (WM) followed by a 6-day hypercaloric high sucrose diet (150% energy requirements). On one occasion the hypercaloric diet contained 5% protein and 25% fat (low protein-high fat, LP-HF), on the other occasion it contained 20% protein and 10% fat (high protein-low fat, HP-LF). IHCL and IMCL concentrations (magnetic resonance spectroscopy) and energy expenditure (indirect calorimetry) were measured after WM, and again after HP-LF/LP-HF. IHCL increased from 25.0 &#177; 3.6 after WM to 147.1 &#177; 26.9 mmol/kg wet weight (ww) after LP-HF and from 30.3 &#177; 7.7 to 57.8 &#177; 14.8 after HP-LF (two-way ANOVA with interaction: <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001 overfeeding x protein/fat content). IMCL increased from 7.1 &#177; 0.6 to 8.8 &#177; 0.7 mmol/kg ww after LP-HF and from 6.2 &#177; 0.6 to 6.9 &#177; 0.6 after HP-LF, (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.002). These results indicate that liver and muscle fat deposition is enhanced when sucrose overfeeding is associated with a low protein, high fat diet compared to a high protein, low fat diet.
