Maternal Dietary Improvement or Leptin Supplementation During Suckling Mitigates the Long-Term Impact of Maternal Obesogenic Conditions on Inflammatory and Oxidative Stress Biomarkers in the Offspring of Diet-Induced Obese Rats

This study investigates the impact of maternal nutrition during lactation on inflammation and oxidative stress in the offspring of diet-induced obese rats, along with the potential benefits of leptin supplementation during suckling.

Sumario:This study investigates the impact of maternal nutrition during lactation on inflammation and oxidative stress in the offspring of diet-induced obese rats, along with the potential benefits of leptin supplementation during suckling. Dams were fed either a standard diet (SD), a western diet (WD) before and during gestation and lactation (WD-dams), or a WD switched to an SD during lactation (Rev-dams). Offspring were supplemented with leptin or vehicle during suckling and then fed an SD or WD until four months. Offspring of the Rev-dams exhibited improved metabolic indicators, including lower body weight, reduced plasma levels of TNF-alpha, a higher adiponectin/leptin (A/L) ratio, enhanced liver antioxidant defenses, and decreased inflammation markers in white adipose tissue (WAT) compared to WD-dams, with sex differences. Leptin supplementation further modulated these markers, reducing oxidative stress in liver and inflammation in WAT and liver (e.g., hepatic Tnfa expression decreased by 45% (males) and 41% (females) in the WD group on an SD), and improving the A/L ratio, with effects varying by maternal conditions and sex. In conclusion, this study underscores the importance of maternal nutrition and leptin intake during suckling in shaping long-term metabolic and inflammatory health in offspring, offering strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of maternal obesity on future generations.
