Introduction: The ingestion of saturated lipids is related to increase adiposity in humans or in animal models. The excess of fat improve the chronic and low grade of inflammation, condition associated with glucose metabolism disorders, insulin resistance and development of non-communicable diseases (NCD). In muscle tissue, the increase of proteins quinases activities, such as kinase inhibitor of B (IKK)- and c-Jun N terminal kinase (JNK) contributes for hyperglycemia thought the reduction of insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 and protein quinase B (AKT/PKB) activation. The administration of yerba mate (YM), which contain bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory activity, can act on the reduction of inflammatory process induced by saturated fatty acid consumption. Objective: To investigate the effects of isocaloric high-fat diet consumption and Yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) administration on the expression of proteins involved in the insulin signaling pathway in Wistar rats soleus muscle. Methods: The experimental design was accomplished in 2 moments. Firstly, 36 Wistar rats, male, were distributed into two groups that ingested control (CON) (n=18) or high-fat (HF) (n=18) diets, during 12 weeks, characterizing baseline groups CONBL and HFBL, respectively. After this period, 6 animals from each group were euthanized, while the others were distributed in groups which received, or not, by oral gavage, yerba mate aqueous extract (YMAE) dose of 1 g/Kg of body weight), for 4 weeks. The rats were submitted to the oral glucose tolerance test (oGTT) and to the intraperitoneal insulin tolerance test (ipITT) on the first, twelfth and sixteenth week of experimental protocol. From the blood, were determined the concentrations of glucose, insulin, free fatty acids, adiponectin and C reactive protein. The body composition was available from the animal\'s carcass. From the soleus muscle, it was available the protein expression of JNK, IKK-, AKT and IRS-1, in total and phosphorylated forms and NF-B at the phosphorylated form. Also, it was realized the histology analysis in this tissue. Results: The ingestion of HF diet did not increase adiposity, however, the HFBL group presented retroperitoneal pad weight higher than CONBL (p<0,05). The HFBL group showed hyperglycemia, insulin resistance and elevated plasmatic concentrations of total cholesterol, HDL non-cholesterol and C reactive protein compared to CONBL group (p<0,05). On the soleus muscle, verified increase of phospho:total IKK- ratio in HFBL group in relation to CONBL (p=0,02). The supplementation with AEYM diminished 1 per cent (p<0,05) of weight gain in HL supplemented group in relation to HF not supplemented that presented 2 per cent of weight gain when compared to HF+YM. In times of 5 and 10 minutes after the insulin load, the glycemia of HF+YM were lesser than the HF group (p<0,05). Conclusion: The isocaloric high-fat diet intake promoted important metabolic changes, suggesting a possible activation of inflammatory process including in skeletal muscle. The administration of YM reduced the weight gain, improved the insulin sensibility and the lipid profile, contributing for the reduction of cardiovascular risk (AU) | |
