In this study, we examined the long-term influence of a high-fat (HF) diet compared with a standard chow (SC) diet on glucose metabolism in genetically normal Sprague-Dawley rats. As the diet was given for a period of 14 months it represents almost a life-long exposure of the rats to the diet. Results showed that (1) after exposure to 14 months of SC or HF feeding, the fasting glucose levels were below 5.1 mmol/l in both genders; (2) the 2 h plasma glucose concentration (2 h PG) of male rats after an intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test for the SC groups and for the HF groups was significantly higher than for females; (3) the liver triglycerides content was significantly enhanced by HF feeding as compared with SC-feeding, and histological staining showed that both genders of the HF group developed severe liver steatosis; (4) the fasting insulin concentration in blood of HF-fed males was significantly higher than that of females and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance was also significantly higher; (5) the insulin secretion capabilities in response to glucose stimulation were significantly higher in HF-fed female rats than that of males. Taken together, these data indicate that glucose intolerance produced by a HF diet in rats shows a gender difference, and females are protected against development of impaired glucose tolerance under HF condition.
