PG - 108441 LID - S0955-2863(20)30473-3 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jnutbio.2020.108441 [doi] AB - Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and insulin resistance (IR) have been associated with dysregulation of iron metabolism. The basis for this association is not completely understood. To attempt to investigate this, we studied temporal associations between onset of insulin resistance (IR) and dysregulated iron homeostasis, in a mouse model of T2DM. Male C57Bl/6 mice (aged 8 weeks) were fed a high-fat diet (HFD; 60% energy from fat) or a control diet (CD; 10% energy from fat) for 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 weeks. Development of IR was documented, and various metabolic, inflammatory and iron-related parameters were studied in these mice. HFD-feeding induced weight gain, hepato-steatosis and IR in the mice. Onset of IR occurred from 12 weeks onwards. Hepatic iron stores progressively declined from 16 weeks onwards. Accompanying changes included a decrease in hepatic hepcidin (Hamp1) mRNA expression and serum hepcidin levels and an increase in iron content in the epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT). Iron content in the liver negatively correlated with that in the eWAT. Factors known to regulate hepatic Hamp1 expression (such as serum iron levels, systemic inflammation, and bone marrow-derived erythroid regulators) were not affected by HFD-feeding. In conclusion, the results show that the onset of IR in HFD-fed mice preceded dysregulation of iron homeostasis, evidence of which were found both in the liver and visceral adipose tissue.
