1. Male and female baboons were fed a 75% sucrose/fat free diet for 13 weeks. At the end of this period, and when tested by a sucrose meal, the glucose tolerance was improved, but the fructose tolerance impaired. 2. There was no difference between the male and female baboons with regard to the changes observed in glucose tolerance. The impairment of fructose tolerance as a result of the sucrose diet was more marked in the males than in the females. 3. By labelling the sucrose meals uniformly with 14C, a correlation was observed between the level of peripheral blood fructose attained and the degree to which 14C-triglyceride appeared in the serum. No such correlation was found with glucose. 4. A cause-and-effect relationship between fructose tolerance and triglyceride specific activity was demonstrated by means of a high sucrose diet. The resulting impairment of fructose tolerance was reflected by a corresponding increase in triglyceride specific activity. The improvement in glucose tolerance under the same dietary conditions bore no relationship to the change in triglyceride specific activity. 5. Fructose was incorporated into serum triglyceride to a greater extent in the male baboons than in the females because of the higher levels of blood fructose attained in the male animals.

Prediabetes is a strong predictor of type 2 diabetes and its associated cardiovascular complications, but few studies explore sexual dimorphism in this context. Here, we aim to determine whether sex influences physiological response to high-fat high-sucrose diet (HFS) and myocardial tolerance to ischemia-reperfusion injury. Male and female Wistar rats were subjected to standard (CTRL) or HFS diet for 5 months. Then, ex-vivo experiments on isolated perfused heart model were performed to evaluate tolerance to ischemia-reperfusion injury. HFS diet induced fasting hyperglycemia and increased body fat percent to a similar level in both sexes. However, glucose intolerance was more pronounced in female HFS. Cholesterol was increased only in female while male displayed higher level of plasmatic leptin. We observed increased heart weight to tibia length ratio only in males, but we showed a similar decrease in tolerance to ischemia-reperfusion injury in female and male HFS compared with respective controls, characterized by impaired cardiac function, energy metabolism and coronary flow during reperfusion. In conclusion, as soon as glucose intolerance and hyperglycemia develop, we observe higher sensitivity of hearts to ischemia-reperfusion injury without difference between males and females.

Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effect of a high sucrose diet on the histopathological indicators related to NAFLD in male and female mice of the C57bl/6N strain. Methods Forty male and female mice of the C57bl/6N strain were randomly divided into four experimental groups: Control male (CMG) and female groups (CFG) with a standard diet (Rodent Chow) and tap water, as well as sucrose male (SMG) and female groups (SFG) which received standard diet and a 50% sucrose water solution. All the groups were fed ad libitum to one of the two different diets for 20 weeks. After 20 weeks, mice were sacrificed. Blood, hepatic and adipose tissues were collected for analyses. Hepatic tissues were sectioned and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Samples were examined by light microscopy to analyze liver damage. The non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) degree was determined according to the histological score system proposed by the clinical research network of NASH. Results In hepatic histological samples of MCG, a normal parenchyma formed by hepatocytes with a conserved architecture was observed, in which the cytoplasm and the nucleus can be appreciated. According to the histological score system of the clinical research network of NASH, it was not considered into any NASH grade. FCG showed few microvesicles in parenchyma, developing grade 1 of NASH, with microvesicular steatosis, not considered pathological. Compared to sucrose groups, in MSG were observed presence of moderate microvesicular steatosis, moderate metabolic stress, and glycogen condensation. No presence of inflammatory infiltrate, inflammation, or granulomas, developing grade 4 of NASH. On the other hand, FSG showed a wide spread of macrovesicular steatosis (zones 1, 2 and 3 of liver acinus), presence of inflammatory infiltrate and granulomas in the liver parenchyma. High metabolic stress in the three zones and glycogen condensation, with the loss of histological architecture, positioning in grade 6 of NASH. Conclusions A high sucrose diet contributed to develop NAFLD in mice of the C57bl/6n strain. MSG showed light to moderate degree of NAFLD, whereas FSG showed a moderate to a high degree of NAFLD (steatosis and NASH) related to sucrose consumption.

1. The incorporation of [14C]sucrose in to serum triglyceride was shown to increase in both male and female baboons after a period of high sucrose intake. During the same period of high sucrose intake there was an increase in the fasting serum triglyceride concentration of the male baboons but not of the females.2. When the male baboons were given a parenteral oestrogen preparation in addition to the sucrose diet the increase in fasting serum triglycerides was greatly reduced but there was little alteration in the extent of the incorporation of sucrose into serum triglyceride compared to that with the diet and no oestrogen.3. A parenteral testosterone preparation given to the female baboons in addition to sucrose diet had no effect on either the extent of incorporation of sucrose into triglyceride the fasting serum concentrations of triglyceride.4. The findings suggest that the differing patterns of fasting triglyceride response in the male and female baboons to the sucrose diet may have resulted from oestrogen enhancing the removal of triglyceride from the serum of the female animals.
