OBJECTIVE: The role of high fat diets in breast cancer/mammary tumor (MT) development is controversial. This may be partially attributable to variable effects of high fat diets on body weight. Here, we used a moderately high fat diet (32.5% fat calories) expected to cause obesity in most mice, but predicted to result in some mice remaining in the weight range of mice fed the low fat diet (11% fat calories). This provided the opportunity to compare mice fed the high fat diet exhibiting different body weights and mice of similar weight consuming high vs low fat diets.EXPERIMENTAL METHODS: Transgenic MMTV-TGF-alpha mice, a model of postmenopausal breast cancer, consumed a low fat diet, that is, chow-fed ( n = 25) or a moderately high fat diet from 10 weeks of age ( n = 51). Body weight at 34 weeks of age was used to assign high fat diet mice to obesity-prone > overweight > obesity-resistant groups ( n = 17) ( P overweight > obesity-resistant = chow-fed mice. Fat pads and fat pad: carcass were heaviest in obesity-prone followed by overweight mice. However, obesity-resistant mice had fat pad weights and fat pad: carcass three-fold greater than chow-fed mice. All groups had MT incidences between 72 and 82%. Obesity-prone mice exhibited the shortest MT latency ( P
