Cardiac structural and functional abnormalities are observed in metabolic syndrome However, such changes have not been investigated in the SHRSP Z-Lepri(fa)/IzmDmcr rat (SHRSP-fatty) model of metabolic syndrome Here we compare cardiac size and hemodynamic function in these rats with their lean littermates (SHRSP) and normotensive control Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) In male 16-week-old SHRSP-fatty, we determined heart rate and systolic blood pressure (SBP) by tail-cuff, cardiac output (CO), subcutaneous peripheral blood flow (BF) and stroke volume (SV) by plethysmography, and systolic and diastolic functions by echocardiography We also assessed weight and collagen type I expression by Western blot in Isolated atrium and ventricle, and beat rate in isolated atrial preparation by myography Heart rate was lower in conscious SHRSP-fatty than SHRSP, and the beat rate of Isolated atria was lower in SHRSP-fatty and SHRSP than that of WKV Atrial weight was larger in SHRSP-fatty than others Ventricular weight of SHRSP-fatty and SHRSP was larger than WKY There were significant Inverse correlations between atrial weight and heart rate or beat rate in SHRSP-fatty SBP, CO, BF and SV were Increased in SHRSP-fatty similarly to SHRSP Increased deceleration time and decreased E/A ratio, and preserved fractional shortening were observed in SHRSP-fatty Expressions of collagen type I were Increased in atria and ventricle of SHRSP-fatty SHRSP-fatty with metabolic syndrome exhibit cardiac changes, including slowed heart rate, ventricular diastolic dysfunction, and fibrosis, and atrial enlargement SHRSP-fatty may be a useful rat model to study on cardiac abnormalities in metabolic syndrome
