Effect of high-protein and low-carbohydrate diet on lipid and intestinal short-chain fatty acid secretion in C57BL/6 mice

Objective To investigate and formulate the healthy high-protein and low-carbohydrate diet pattern suitable for the normal weight group. Methods Twenty-four SPF grade male C57BL/6 mice aged 6 to 8 weeks (weighing 15 to 20 g) were randomly divided into the control group (Ct group), 5% high-protein low...

description Objective To investigate and formulate the healthy high-protein and low-carbohydrate diet pattern suitable for the normal weight group. Methods Twenty-four SPF grade male C57BL/6 mice aged 6 to 8 weeks (weighing 15 to 20 g) were randomly divided into the control group (Ct group), 5% high-protein low-carbohydrate diet group (5%LCD group), and 30% high-protein low-carbohydrate diet group (30%LCD group), with 8 mice in each group. The mice were fed with a basic diet, 5% LCD, and 30% LCD for 4 weeks, respectively. The food intake, water intake, and body weight were observed, and the blood lipid indexes and the content of cecal short-chain fatty acids were measured. Results Compared with the Ct group, food intake in the 5%LCD and 30%LCD groups was increased (both <i>P &lt;</i> 0.01). Compared with the Ct group, the serum total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) contents in the 5%LCD group were increased (both <i>P &lt;</i> 0.05), and the serum LDL-C and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels in the 30%LCD group were increased (both <i>P &lt;</i> 0.05). Compared with the Ct group, the secretions of propionic acid, isobutyric acid, and isovaleric acid in the cecal contents of mice in the 5%LCD and 30%LCD groups were decreased (all <i>P &lt;</i> 0.05). Conclusion Based on a comprehensive assessment of body weight, lipid metabolism, and short-chain fatty acid secretion, 30% LCD is more suitable as an effective dietary recommendation due to its higher HDL-C levels.
