- Abstract
Purpose: Metabolic diseases caused by high-carbohydrate and/or high-salt diets are becoming major public health concerns. However, the effects of salt on high-carbohydrate diet-induced obesity are unclear. Accordingly, in this study, we investigated the effects of high-salt intake on high-carbohydrate diet-induced obesity. Methods: We performed a 12-week study on gut microbiota and metabolic changes in high-rice diet (HRD) or HRD supplemented with high-salt (HRS)-fed C57BL/6 J mice by 16S rRNA analysis, glucose and insulin tolerance testing, gut barrier function, western blot and histological analysis. Moreover, the effects of salt on lipid metabolism were confirmed in vitro using 3T3-L1 cells. Results: High salt intake decreased HRD-induced increases in body and white adipose tissue (WAT) weight. Alternatively, HRS did not reverse the observed increases in glucose intolerance and insulin resistance. Moreover, HRD caused changes in the gut microbiota, thereby impairing gut barrier function and increasing inflammation in the liver. HRS altered HRD-induced microbial composition, however, did not ameliorate gut barrier dysfunction or hepatic inflammation. HRS diets regulated the HRD-induced increase in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) and lipid metabolism-related protein expression. Moreover, within WAT, HRS was found to reverse the observed decrease in adiponectin and increase in PPAR-γ expression induced by HRD. In vitro, high NaCl concentration also significantly reduced 3T3-L1 cell differentiation and modulated lipid metabolism without causing cytotoxicity. Conclusion: These results indicate that high salt intake ameliorates metabolic changes associated with a high-rice diet, including changes in fecal microbiota composition.
