This study investigated the effect of two high-fat diets based on coconut oil, containing predominantly medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA), or cocoa butter, containing mainly long-chain fatty acids (LCFA), on glucose homeostasis and NASH in guinea pigs following 16 and 32 weeks of diet. At week 16, glucose intolerance was increased in the LCFA animals compared to the MCFA animals (p &lt; 0.001), with both groups differing from the controls by week 32 (p &lt; 0.0001), supported by increased hemoglobin A1c (p &lt; 0.05). NASH was present in both high-fat groups from week 16, with advancing fibrosis appearing more progressive in the LCFA animals at week 16. In agreement, gene expression showed overall increased expression of NASH target genes in the LCFA animals compared to the MCFA animals at weeks 16 and 32 (p &lt; 0.05 and p &lt; 0.0001, respectively). The LCFA animals also displayed increased plasma uric acid at both time points (p &lt; 0.05), a phenomenon linked to NASH in humans. In conclusion, this study reports that a diet high in LCFA promotes metabolic imbalance and may accelerate NASH-associated hepatic fibrosis. This highlights the importance of a critical evaluation of fatty acid composition when investigating NASH-associated endpoints.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu15112445","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,25]],"date-time":"2023-05-25T02:00:55Z","timestamp":1684980055000},"page":"2445","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Dietary Long-Chain Fatty Acids Accelerate Metabolic Dysfunction in Guinea Pigs with Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2852-2882","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kamilla","family":"Pedersen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Experimental Animal Models, Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, 1870 Frederiksberg, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David H\u00f8jland","family":"Ipsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Experimental Animal Models, Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, 1870 Frederiksberg, Denmark"},{"name":"Integrated Physiology Research, Obesity and NASH Pharmacology, Novo Nordisk A\/S, 2760 M\u00e5l\u00f8v, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8160-9330","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Josephine","family":"Skat-R\u00f8rdam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Experimental Animal Models, Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, 1870 Frederiksberg, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6514-8407","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jens","family":"Lykkesfeldt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Experimental Animal Models, Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, 1870 Frederiksberg, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5574-5742","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pernille","family":"Tveden-Nyborg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Experimental Animal Models, Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, 1870 Frederiksberg, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"16","DOI":"10.21037\/tgh.2019.09.08","article-title":"Epidemiology of Non-Alcoholic and Alcoholic Fatty Liver Diseases","volume":"5","author":"Mitra","year":"2020","journal-title":"Transl.
