Abstract
The effects of high-fat-associated kidney damage in humans are not completely elucidated. Animal experiments are essential to understanding the mechanisms underlying human diseases. This systematic review aimed to compile evidence of the role of a high-fat diet during the development of renal lipotoxicity and fibrosis of Wistar rats to understand whether this is a satisfactory model for the study of high fat-induced kidney damage. We conducted systematic searches in PUBMED, EMBASE, Lilacs, and Web of Science databases from inception until May 2021. The risk of bias was assessed using SYRCLE toll. Two reviewers independently screened abstracts and reviewed full-text articles. A total of 11 studies were included. The damage varied depending on the age and sex of the animals, time of protocol, and amount of fat in the diet. In conclusion, the Wistar rat is an adequate animal model to assess the effects of a high-fat diet on the kidneys.HighlightsA high-fat diet may promote kidney damage in Wistar rats.Wistar rat is efficient as an animal model to study high-fat-induced kidney damage.The effect of the diet depends on the fat amount, consumption time, and animal age.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Physiology and Biochemistry: The Journal of Metabolic Diseases is an international peer-reviewed journal which has been relaunched to meet the increasing demand for integrated publication on molecular, biochemical and cellular aspects of metabolic diseases, as well as clinical and therapeutic strategies for their treatment. It publishes full-length original articles, rapid papers, reviews and mini-reviews on selected topics. It is the overall goal of the journal to disseminate novel approaches to an improved understanding of major metabolic disorders.
The scope encompasses all topics related to the molecular and cellular pathophysiology of metabolic diseases like obesity, type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome, and their associated complications.
Clinical studies are considered as an integral part of the Journal and should be related to one of the following topics:
-Dysregulation of hormone receptors and signal transduction
-Contribution of gene variants and gene regulatory processes
-Impairment of intermediary metabolism at the cellular level
-Secretion and metabolism of peptides and other factors that mediate cellular crosstalk
-Therapeutic strategies for managing metabolic diseases
Special issues dedicated to topics in the field will be published regularly.
