Objectives: The mechanism of pancreatic damages induced by chronic high-fat diets (HFDs) remains unknown. The Current study was to detect the involvement of free fatty acids (FFAs) and lipid peroxidation in pancreatic injuries in rats induced by a long-term HFD. Methods: Rats of HFD groups (n = 12) were fed with an HFD for 2, 4, 6, 10, and IS weeks, respectively. Pancreatic malondialdehyde content and the concentration of FFA were measured. Histopathologic changes were observed by Sirius red staining for fibrosis and immunostaining of the pancreatic stellate cells for desinin, alpha-smooth muscle actin, platelet-derived growth factor receptor type beta, and transforming growth factor beta 1. Results: Pancreatic malondialdehyde content, the number of desmin and alpha-SMA positive cells significantly increased in all the HFD groups (P < 0.05). The levels of pancreatic FFA, platelet-derived growth factor receptor type beta, and transforming growth factor PI increased in rats of 2-, 4-, and 6-week HFD groups (P < 0.05). These enhancements were accompanied with sequential histopathology alterations that resulted from acute inflammatory response in the early stages of secondary pancreatic fibrosis. Conclusions: The results indicate that chronic HFD increased pancreatic FFA and lipid peroxidation associated with pancreatic injuries and collagen synthesis by activated pancreatic stellate cells in rats.
