- W4387140147 abstract "Sex differences have been observed in the development of obesity-related complications in patients, as well as in animal models. Accumulating evidence suggests that sex-dependent regulation of lipid metabolism contributes to sex-specific physiopathology. Lipid accumulation in the renal tissue has been shown to play a major role in the pathogenesis of obesity-induced kidney injury. Unlike in males, the physiopathology of the disease has been poorly described in females, particularly regarding the lipid metabolism adaptation.Here, we compared the lipid profile changes in the kidneys of female and male mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) or low-fat diet (LFD) by lipidomics and correlated them with pathophysiological changes.We showed that HFD-fed female mice were protected from insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis compared to males, despite similar body weight gains. Females were particularly protected from renal dysfunction, oxidative stress, and tubular lipid accumulation. Both HFD-fed male and female mice presented dyslipidemia, but lipidomic analysis highlighted differential renal lipid profiles. While both sexes presented similar neutral lipid accumulation with obesity, only males showed increased levels of ceramides and phospholipids. Remarkably, protection against renal lipotoxicity in females was associated with enhanced renal adiponectin and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling. Circulating adiponectin and its renal receptor levels were significantly lower in obese males, but were maintained in females. This observation correlated with the maintained basal AMPK activity in obese female mice compared to males.Collectively, our findings suggest that female mice are protected from obesity-induced renal dysfunction and lipotoxicity associated with enhanced adiponectin and AMPK signaling compared to males.Obesity-related complications can differ between men and women due to sex-specific differences in how fats are handled. Here, we studied the effects of high-fat diet on the kidneys of male and female mice. We found that despite gaining similar weight, obese female mice were better protected against insulin resistance, liver fat accumulation, and kidney damage caused by obesity than males. In particular, female mice were protected against lipid accumulation in the kidneys. We further analyzed the lipid profile in the kidneys of both male and female mice and observed differences in the amount and nature of the accumulated lipids. Male mice had increased levels of specific lipids, which may contribute to their higher risk of kidney damage. In contrast, female mice showed better lipid metabolism adaptation, which helped to protect their kidneys. This study also revealed an association between higher levels of the protein hormone adiponectin and higher activity of the cellular energy master regulator protein AMPK in obese females. These proteins may help prevent obesity-induced kidney damage. In obese males, these protective proteins are reduced and are associated with kidney damage. In conclusion, this study suggests that female mice are naturally shielded from obesity-induced kidney damage and lipid accumulation in the kidneys. Obesity in males is associated with the presence of potentially toxic lipids and dysregulated renal metabolism. Understanding these sex-related differences in obesity-related complications could lead to better management and treatment of kidney problems in both men and women." @default.
