摘要
Abstract Objective Differences in white adipose tissue (WAT) expression of mesoderm‐specific transcript ( Mest ) in C57BL6/J mice fed a high‐fat diet (HFD) are concomitant with and predictive for the development of obesity. However, the basis for differences in WAT Mest among mice is unknown. This study investigated whether HFD‐inducible WAT Mest , as well as susceptibility to obesity, is transmissible from parents to offspring. Methods WAT biopsies of mice fed an HFD for 2 weeks identified parents with low and high WAT Mest for breeding. Obesity phenotypes, WAT Mest , hepatic gene expression, and serum metabolites were determined in offspring fed an HFD for 2 weeks. Results Offspring showed no heritability of obesity or WAT Mest phenotypes from parents but did show hepatic and serum metabolite changes consistent with their WAT Mest . Importantly, retired male breeders showed WAT Mest expression congruent with initial WAT biopsies even though HFD exposure occurred early in life. Conclusions Disparity of HFD‐induced Mest in mice is not heritable but, rather, is reestablished during each generation and remains fixed from an early age to adulthood. Short‐term HFD feeding reveals variation of WAT Mest expression within isogenic mice that is positively associated with the development of obesity.
