It is still unclear if an isoenergetic, sucrose-rich diet leads to health conse-quences. Mice were fed a control diet (10% energy from fat, 8% energy from sucrose - SC), a high-sucrose diet (10% energy from fat, 32% energy from sucrose - HSu), a high-fat diet (42% energy from fat, 8% energy from sucrose - HF) or a HF/HSu diet (42% energy from fat, 32% energy from sucrose) for eight weeks. Despite the un-changed body mass and adiposity indices, HSu presented adipocyte hypertrophy, which was also observed in the HF and HF/HSu. The HF, HSu and HF/HSu were glucose intolerant and had elevated serum insulin levels. The levels of leptin, resistin and Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1 (MCP-1) increased, while the serum adiponectin decreased in the HF, HSu and HF/HSu. In the adipose tissue, the HF, HSu and HF/HSu showed higher levels of leptin protein expression and lower levels of adiponectin protein expression in comparison with the SC. Hepatic cholesterol was higher in the HF and HF/HSu, while hepatic TG was higher in the HSu and HF/HSu. Liver steatosis was higher, sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c) hepatic expression was increased, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-α) hepatic protein expression was decreased in the HF, HSu and HF/HSu in comparison with the SC. In conclusion, a sucrose-rich diet does not lead to a state of obesity but has the potential to cause changes in the adipocytes (hypertrophy) as well as glucose intolerance, hyperinsulinemia, hyperlipidemia, hepatic steatosis, and increases in the number of inflammatory cytokines. The deleterious effects of a sucrose-rich diet in an animal model, even when the sucrose replaces starch isocalorically in the feed, can have far-reaching consequences for health.
