摘要:Hypertriglyceridemia causes hypoxia and increases the release of free fatty acids in adipose tissue through lipolysis which stimulates an increase in TLR4 and NFκβ levels as well as TNF-α and IL-6 secretion. The high fiber diet had a suppressing effect against TLR4 and NFκβ gene expression and decreased TNF-α and IL-6 levels. This study evaluated the effect of high fiber diet (P1= 1.04 g content of fiber/rat/day, P2= 2.07 g content of fiber /rat/day and P3= 3.11 g content of fiber/rat/day) on TNF-α and IL-6 levels as well as expression of TLR4 and NFκβ in rats induced by high fat and fructose diet for 6 weeks. The findings indicate that the administration of high fiber diet to the hypertriglyceridemia rats could control body weight gain and significantly reduce TNF-α and IL-6 levels (pp<0.05) when compared with the normal and hypertriglyceridemia groups. The suppression of TLR4 and NFκβ were correlated with TNF-α and IL-6 levels. In conclusion, the administration of the high fiber diet to the hypertriglyceridemia rats was able to decrease TNF-α and IL-6 levels possibly by suppression of TLR4 and NFκB gene expression.
