Scientific titleAntioxidant enzymes induced by repeated intake of high-fat, high-carbohydrate meals are not sufficient to block oxidative stress in healthy lean subjects: A randomised controlled trial
Study objectivesWe hypothesised that repeated intake of high-fat, high-carbohydrate meals would increase oxidative stress and insulin resistance, and alter the expression of anti-oxidant enzymes and mitochondria electron transport chain complex subunits.
Ethics approval(s)Kyung Hee University Hospital Institutional Review Board approved on the 26th of April 2010 (ref: 1003-01-a3)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedDiet; oxidative stress; insulin resistance; protein dynamics
InterventionTen healthy, lean male Korean subjects were enrolled in this study. Subjects started a standardized diet for 7 days with control meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, based on the Dietary Reference Intake for Koreans (KDRI) guidelines. Blood samples were collected at 2 hours after lunch on day 7 during intake period of KDRI control meals for the standardized diet. After the standardized diet, five subjects continually ingested KDRI control meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the other five subjects ate HFHC meals only for lunch daily for 4 days.

We used western blot analysis to check the expression of related proteins and fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis to confirm reactive oxygen species levels. To check blood glucose and insulin levels, oral glucose tolerance test was conducted for the subjects.

Results:
We showed that expression of anti-oxidant enzymes and mitochondria transport chain complex subunits was increased following high-fat, high-carbohydrate meals for 4 day in blood mononuclear cells, compared with that following control meals on day 7. However, there was an increase in intracytosolic lipid peroxidation and the induction of SOCS-3 which interferes with insulin signal transduction, indicating that oxidative stress was still progressing.
