Why the study?
Does a high-fat diet reduce myocardial perfusion reserve and increase left-ventricular mass in C57Bl/6 mice?
Population
20 male C57Bl/6 mice (n=11 high-fat diet, n=9 control), starting at 6 weeks of age.
Comparison
High-fat diet for up to 24-26 weeks. vs Low-fat diet for up to 24-26 weeks.
Design
Preclinical
Follow-up
24-26 weeks

Supports high-fat diet C57Bl/6 mice as a model of obesity-related impaired MPR; leaves open translation to human CMD.
Does a high-fat diet reduce myocardial perfusion reserve and increase left-ventricular mass in C57Bl/6 mice?
C57Bl/6 mice fed a high-fat diet for 18-24 weeks develop progressively increased LV mass and impaired myocardial perfusion reserve with fibrosis, establishing them as a model for impaired MPR without obstructive CAD due to obesity and diabetes.
