Methods: Rats were randomly assigned into high-fat-diet (HF) group andnormal-diet (ND) group. Hyperlipidemic rats fed with high-fat-diet for 5 weeks were randomly divided into ADF group,alternate-day-fasting with LD (ALG) group and model control (MC) group. The rats in ALG and ADF group weredeprived of food for 24 h every other day for 4 weeks. Rats in ALG group were administrated with LD at fasting day.After 4 weeks of ADF therapy, plasma TC, TG, LDL-c and HDL-c were measured in each group. Expression of miR-143and PPAR-γ protein from adipose was also analyzed. Results: When compared with MC group, after 4 weeks of ADF orcombined ADF and LD therapy, the body weight was evidently reduced in ADF and ALG groups (P = 0.028, P = 0.036by wk 8). The levels of plasma TC and TG decreased in ADF group and ALG group, which were significantly lower thanthose in MC group (P 〈 0.001, P = 0.045; P 〈 0.001, P = 0.005). However, the body weight and level of TC and TG inALG group showed non-statistical difference in comparison with ADF group (ALG vs. ADF, P 〉 0.05). Expression ofmiR-143 and PPAR-γ were higher in MC group than that in NC group (P 〈 0.001). Compared with MC group,expression of miR-143 and PPAR-γ were significantly decreased in ADF (P = 0.038, P = 0.015) and ALG (P = 0.007, P〈 0.001) groups. When compared with ADF group, expression of miR-143 and PPAR-γ were significantly decreased inALG (P = 0.041, P = 0.046) group. Conclusion: ADF therapy alone not only reduced blood lipids, but also inhibitedmiR-143 and PPAR-γ protein expression in visceral adipose tissue. However, LD couldn’t reduce the levels of bloodlipid profiles more effectively than using ADF alone. Perhaps the effects of LD combined with ADF in the prevention ofhyperlipidemia need further exploration.展开更多
