Background/Aim:
Time-restricted feeding (TRF) during the dark phase of the day restores metabolic homeostasis in mice.
Materials And Methods:
We performed untargeted metabolomic analysis on plasma from mice subjected to TRF that attenuates high-fat diet-enhanced spontaneous metastasis of Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC).
Results:
Twenty-four of 152 identified metabolites differed among the four dietary groups (non-LLC-bearing mice fed the AIN93G diet and LLC-bearing mice fed the AIN93G, the high-fat diet (HFD), or TRF of the HFD). Component 1 of sparse partial least squares-discriminant analysis showed a clear separation between non-LLC-bearing and LLC-bearing mice. Major metabolites responsible for the changes were elevations in α-tocopherol, docosahexaenoic acid, cholesterol, dihydrocholestrol, isoleucine, leucine, and phenylalanine and decreases in lactic acid and pyruvic acid in LLC-bearing mice particularly those fed the HFD. Time-restricted feeding shifted the metabolic profile of LLC-bearing mice towards that of non-LLC-bearing controls.
Conclusion:
Time-restricted feeding improves metabolic profile of LLC-bearing mice.
