Raw data on weight and diet consumption of different dietary treatments for male and female rats. Values for plasma metabolite values and for liver enzyme expressions

The effect of different dietary composition on liver lipid accumulation was analyzed. Diets with the same caloric content were given, but which differed in the percentage content (both in weight and derived energy) of proteins and lipids: Control diet (19% protein + 12.5% ​​lipids + 67% carbohydrates), Cafeteria diet (11% protein + 39% fat + 48% carbohydrates), Hyperlipidic diet (HF) (14% protein + 37% fat + 48% carbohydrates), hyperprotein diet (HP) (40% protein + 12% fat + 47% carbohydrates). Cafeteria and HL diets, despite having the same lipid content, differed in their lipid composition. Animals were treated for 30 days with these diets and intake was assessed. Blood and tissue samples were taken after the animals were sacrificed. The usual plasma parameters were measured and in this case, the content of cholesterol and triacylglycerols was determined in the liver, as well as the expression (RNA) of different enzymes involved in its metabolism.
