Abstract:
Objective To study the expression of divalent metal transporter 1(DMT1)and ferroportin 1(FPN1)in obese mice’ s duodenal epithelium and investigate the mechanism of the effect of obesity on iron absorption in mice. Methods C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into control group and obesity model group, each group of 6, To establish obese mice model by having a high-fat diet and the control group were fed with a normal diet for 12 weeks.After completion of modeling, The level of DMT1 and FPN1 mRNA expression in the duodenum were measured by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR( Real-time PCR) method, the protein expression of FPN1 was measured by Western-Blot. Results Compared with the control group, the level of DMT1、FPN1 mRNA and FPN1 protein expression in the duodenum were decreased significantly in obese mice ( P <0.05 ) .Conclusion Obesity can decrease the expression levels of DMT1、FPN1 mRNA and FPN1 protein and induce iron deficiency,in order to provide experimental and theoretical basis for studying the mechanism of iron deficiency caused by obesity further.
