Abstract Rodents are commonly used in food restriction refeeding studies to investigate
weight regain. Mice that are rationed food every 24h may consume all allocated
food in a short time (gorge) and therefore undergo a brief well-fed period
followed by an extended fasted period until the next day's food allotment. These
exaggerated metabolic states are not typical in mice fed ad libitum (nibbling).
The aim of the current study was to elucidate the intraday and cumulative
metabolic consequences of gorging (induced by food restriction) in mice during
controlled refeeding. Accordingly, following a temporary food restriction, mice
were fed rations similar to intakes of controls fed ad libitum. Temporary food
restriction initiated gorging behavior that persisted during refeeding;
consequently, metabolism-related measurements were obtained in the gorging mice
during their daily fed and fasted metabolic states. Robust differences in
adipose tissue lipogenic and inflammatory gene expression were found in the
gorging mice by metabolic state (fed versus fasted). Additionally, despite a
reduced cumulative food intake compared to mice fed ad libitum,
restriction-induced gorging mice had increased intraabdominal fat accumulation,
diminished hepatic and peripheral insulin sensitivity, and a gene expression
profile favoring lipid deposition. Our findings highlight the intraday
differences in gene expression in gorging mice before and after feeding that
confound comparisons with mice fed ad libitum, or nibbling. The present study
also provides evidence that weight regain following food restriction is
associated with cumulative metabolic and behavioral abnormalities in mice.
