BACKGROUND: Recent meta-analyses have reported that critically ill patients with morbid obesity (body mass index >40 kg/m(2)) have poor outcomes, but the effects and mechanisms of action of mild obesity are still unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of mild obesity using a lard-based, high-fat diet (HFD) on pathologic conditions and the mechanisms of adiponectin action in endotoxemic rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Male Wistar rats underwent HFD feeding for 4 wk and were killed at 0, 1.5, and 6 h after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection. Plasma levels of adiponectin, nitric oxide, and interleukin 6; messenger RNA expression of adiponectin receptors (AdipoR1 and AdipoR2) in the liver and the skeletal muscle; blood biochemical test results; and histology of the liver were analyzed. RESULTS: HFD-fed rats had a lower survival rate (12.8% versus 85.2%) and lower plasma adiponectin levels after LPS injection (P < 0.01). Messenger RNA expression of adiponectin receptors in the liver, but not the skeletal muscle, also decreased in HFD-fed rats (P < 0.05). Tissue injury and oxidative stress in the liver and plasma inflammatory mediator levels increased, and worsened lipid metabolism abnormalities were noted. The findings indicated that HFD decreased the sensitivity of adiponectin and was associated with an increase in oxidative stress and inflammation, which finally resulted in worsened liver injury and poor survival rate after LPS injection. CONCLUSIONS: Short-term, HFD-induced, mild obesity is harmful to the septic host, reduces adiponectin sensitivity, and could be the cause of worsening pathologic conditions.
