ABSTRACT:
Coffee effects on glucose homeostasis in obesity remains controversial. We investigated whether coffee mitigates the negative effects on glucose metabolism induced by a high-fat diet and the interrelationships with redox-inflammatory responses. Rats were treated with: control (CT-); coffee (CT+) 3.9g of freeze-dried coffee/kg of diet; high-fat (HF-); or high-fat + coffee 3.9g of freeze-dried coffee/kg of diet (HF+) diet. The high-fat diet increased weight gain, feed efficiency, HOMA β, muscle and hepatic glycogen, intestinal CAT and SOD activity, hepatic protein (CARB) and lipid oxidation (MDA), muscle Prkaa1 mRNA and IL6 levels, and decreased food intake, hepatic GR, GPX and SOD activities, intestinal CARB, intestinal Slc2a2 and Slc5a1 and hepatic Prkaa1 and Prkaa2 mRNA levels, hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase and muscle hexokinase (HK) activities, compared to the control diet. The high-fat diet with coffee increased hepatic GST activity and TNF and decreased IL6 and intestinal glucosidase activity compared with the high-fat diet. The coffee diet increased muscle glycogen, hepatic CARB and PEPCK activity, and decreased hepatic GR and SOD activities and intestinal CARB, compared with the control diet. Coffee increased insulin levels, HOMA IR/β, FRAP, muscle Prkaa1 mRNA levels and hepatic and muscle phosphofructokinase-1, and it decreased intestinal CAT, hepatic Slc2a2 mRNA levels and muscle HK activity, regardless of the diet type. In conclusion, chronic coffee consumption improves antioxidant and anti-inflammatory responses, but does not ameliorate glucose homeostasis in a high-fat diet-induced obesity model. In addition, coffee consumption increases insulin secretion and promotes muscle glycogen synthesis in rats maintained on a control diet.
