Reduction of stearoyl CoA desaturase (SCD) activity has been shown to induce resistance to diet-induced obesity in mice. In the present study, SCD was inhibited by feeding sterculic oil (SO) to male Golden Syrian Hamsters fed high-fat diets with or without added dietary cholesterol. In the absence of cholesterol, SO had little impact on adipose tissue mass or plasma lipoprotein concentrations. When cholesterol was included in the diet, inhibition of SCD resulted in reduced body weight, adipose tissue mass, and feed efficiency. These animals also exhibited a marked hypercholesterolemia, with an accumulation of free-cholesterol rich particles within the LDL density range, and reduced hepatic cholesterol esterification. This was accompanied by a 20-fold increase in plasma alanine aminotransferase, which was suggestive of significant hepatic damage. Hepatic acetyl CoA carboxylase and fatty acid synthase mRNA concentrations were reduced by feeding cholesterol and SO, whereas lipoprotein lipase and SCD mRNA were increased. These changes were associated with decreased hepatic sterol regulatory element binding protein 1a and 1c mRNA concentrations. Thus, inhibition of SCD activity in the cholesterol-fed hamster results in a reduction in overall body weight and adipose tissue deposition. However, this also causes marked hypercholesterolemia and potential liver damage.
