Obesity is a metabolic disorder that results in elevated levels of free fatty acids and triglycerides in the blood circulation, which further leads to accumulation of lipids within various tissues. Like in other similar metabolic disorders, obesity is thought to be originated from structural and regulatory changes in macromolecular assemblies. This current study aims to investigate the effects of obesity on macromolecular alterations in order to characterize Berlin fat mouse inbred (BFMI) lines which arenew models for the obesity research that may contribute to understanding of spontaneous obesity without induction of a high fat diet. Attenuated Total Reflectance - Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy was used to characterize content and structure of macromolecules in male and female control (DBA/2J) and BFMI lines; namely BFMI856, BFMI860 and BFMI861, in two different adipose tissues; inguinal fat (IF) which is subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), gonadal fat (GF) which is visceral adipose tissue (VAT). Structural and compositional alterations in proteins, lipids, saturated and unsaturated lipid contents, nucleic acid, collagen and glycogen contents and variations in the lipid chain length were determined. BFMI860 and BFMI861 lines were found to be the most affected lines since they showed the indications of lipid peroxidation and insulin resistance more severely as they had lower glycogen content in all tissues and lower unsaturated lipid content especially in IF adipose tissues. Moreover, structural changes in lipids were observed especially in male GF adipose tissues of BFMI856 and BFMI861 lines. Protein content decreased significantly specifically in female IF adipose tissues but no change was observed in the structure. Furthermore, BFMI852 line was found to be affected different than other lines and had an effect on especially female IF. To conclude, obesity induced changes differ in BFMI lines according to the gender, adipose tissue type and distinctness in the strains.

Biophysical characterization and diagnosis of obesity from adipose tissue by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and imaging
Küçük Baloğlu, Fatma; Severcan, Feride; Department of Biology (2017)
Obesity is a heterogeneous disorder originating from the enlargement of visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous (SCAT) adipose tissue mass in the body and this process usually results in disturbed glucose and lipid metabolism. The first part of this study aimed to characterize and compare VAT and SCAT with regard to biomolecular content and also investigate transdifferentiation between white and brown adipocytes. Regarding this aim, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microspectroscopy and uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1)...
Triglyceride dependent differentiation of obesity in adipose tissues by FTIR spectroscopy coupled with chemometrics
Baloglu, Fatma Kucuk; Baloğlu, Onur; Heise, Sebastian; Brockmann, Gudrun; Severcan, Feride (2017-10-01)
The excess deposition of triglycerides in adipose tissue is the main reason of obesity and causes excess release of fatty acids to the circulatory system resulting in obesity and insulin resistance. Body mass index and waist circumference are not precise measure of obesity and obesity related metabolic diseases. Therefore, in the current study, it was aimed to propose triglyceride bands located at 1770-1720 cm(-1) spectral region as a more sensitive obesity related biomarker using the diagnostic potential o...
Study of bone characteristics and muscle quality in metabolic disorders
Bozkurt, Özlem; Severcan, Feride; Department of Biology (2012)
Although the effects of diabetes on bone mineral content has been studied, little is known about the structural alterations in collagen, maturation of apatite crystals and carbonate content in diabetic bone. The first part of this study aimed to investigate the mineral and organic properties of cortical, trabecular and growth plate regions of rat femur tissues in type I diabetes using FTIR microspectroscopy and Vickers microhardness test. A decrease in mineral content (degree of mineralization), decrease in...
Structural alterations in rat liver proteins due to streptozotocin-induced diabetes and the recovery effect of selenium: Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy and neural network study
Bozkurt, Ozlem; Bayari, Sevgi Haman; Severcan, Mete; Krafft, Christoph; Popp, Juergen; Severcan, Feride (2012-07-01)
The relation between protein structural alterations and tissue dysfunction is a major concern as protein fibrillation and/or aggregation due to structural alterations has been reported in many disease states. In the current study, Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopic imaging has been used to investigate diabetes-induced changes on protein secondary structure and macromolecular content in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat liver. Protein secondary structural alterations were predicted using neural ...
Diabetes induces compositional, structural and functional alterations on rat skeletal soleus muscle revealed by FTIR spectroscopy: a comparative study with EDL muscle
Bozkurt, Ozlem; Severcan, Mete; Severcan, Feride (2010-01-01)
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder, characterized by abnormally high blood glucose levels due to decreased secretion or effectiveness in function of insulin. Having a role in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, skeletal muscle is affected by the absence of insulin in diabetic conditions. This current study reports the application of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy in the determination of macromolecular alterations in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rat skeletal Soleus (SOL) m...
