| Sumario: | Impaired Glc tolerance and hyperinsulinemia are a hallmark of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and are associated with an altered innate and adaptive immune response. In this study, we used a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced model of pre-diabetes to explore the pathological implications of altered innate lymphoid cell (ILC) profiles in a state of impaired Glc tolerance. Sixteen male C57BL/6 mice were randomized to receive two experimental diets ( n = 8 per group), low-fat (LFD), and HFD for 8–13 wk. We evaluated the levels of circulating innate lymphoid cells and their respective cytokines following HFD-feeding. The HFD group had impaired Glc tolerance, elevated insulin levels, and increased total cholesterol levels. Notably, the levels of circulating ILC1s were elevated following 13 wk of HFD-feeding. Moreover, the levels of TNF-α were decreased, but there were no changes in IFN-γ levels. Lastly, the levels of circulating ILC2s and ILC3s were comparable between the HFD and LFD group. The findings demonstrated that short-term HFD-feeding increases postprandial blood Glc, total cholesterol and insulin levels. However, the metabolic changes did not alter ILC2 and ILC3 levels and their respective cytokine profiles. |
