IntroductionDuring obesity, impairments in oxidative capacities, lipid infiltration and insulin resistance within skeletal muscle may act in concert to lead to loss of muscle mass and function. Considering the role of dietary proteins in preserving mass and improving muscle function, the aim of the study was to determine the potential preventive effects of increased protein intake on changes in metabolism and function muscle induced by obesity.MethodsMale Wistar rats, aged 9 months, were randomized in 4 groups (n=15) and were fed during 10 weeks either with a standard diet (STD) with normal lipid intake (13.8% of total energy intake (TEI)), or with a high fat diet (HFD) (45% of TEI). For each diet, two levels of protein intakes were tested: 12% of TEI (STD12 and HFD12) and 25% of TEI (STD25 and HFD25). For each animal, body weights and food consumption were quantified weekly. Measurements of body composition and muscle function ality were performed. The data are presented as mean ± standard error and analyzed by two-way ANOVA (diet and protein intake) and a Duncan´s Multiple-Comparison Post-hoc Test. ResultsTotal calories intakes were not different between the groups. The increases in weight and fat mass were significantly greater in the HFD12 group (respectively: +176.2±13.9g and +121.5±7.8g) than in STD groups (STD12: +95.3±20.2g and +62.5±4.3g; STD25: +65.6±15.3g and +53.4±3.6g, P<0.05 vs HFD12. These increases were less important in the HFD25 group (+133.9± 17.2g and +98.2± 6.0g, P=NS vs HFD12). The weights of skeletal muscles taken during sacrifices were not different between groups. At the end of the 10 weeks diet, muscle strength and power values were decreased in all groups. However, the decrease of muscle strength and power tended to be higher in HFD12 group (-0.97± 0.33N and -0.23± 0.07W) than in STD groups (STD12:-0.39± 0.32N and -0.07± 0.10W; STD25: -0.35± 0.31N and -0.07± 0.01W). These variations observed in HFD12 group were more attenuated in HFD25 group (-0.51± 0.18N and -0.17± 0.06W).Conclusion. Differences in the macronutrient composition of diets influence the evolution of body weight and composition more than calorie intake. Moreover, protein enrichment in the diet during lipid overnutrition could attenuate the deleterious consequences of obesity on muscle function
