Abstract Obesity is characterized by dysregulated homeostatic mechanisms resulting in
positive energy balance; however, when this dysregulation occurs is unknown. We
assessed the time course of alterations to behaviors promoting weight gain in
male and female mice switched to an obesogenic high-fat diet (HFD)., Male and
female C57BL/6J mice were housed in metabolic chambers and were switched from
chow to a 60% or 45% HFD for 4 and 3?weeks, respectively. Food intake, meal
patterns, energy expenditure (EE), and body weight were continuously measured. A
separate cohort of male mice was switched from chow to a 60% HFD and was given
access to locked or unlocked running wheels., Switching mice to obesogenic diets
promotes transient bouts of hyperphagia during the first 2?weeks followed by
persistent caloric hyperphagia. EE increases but not sufficiently enough to
offset increased caloric intake, resulting in a sustained net positive energy
balance. Hyperphagia is associated with consumption of calorically larger meals
(impaired satiation) more frequently (impaired satiety), particularly during the
light cycle. Running wheel exercise delays weight gain in male mice fed a 60%
HFD by enhancing satiation and increasing EE. However, exercise effects on
satiation are no longer apparent after 2?weeks, coinciding with weight gain.,
Exposure to obesogenic diets engages homeostatic regulatory mechanisms for
~2?weeks that ultimately fail, and consequent weight gain is characterized by
impaired satiation and satiety. Insights into the etiology of obesity can be
obtained by investigating changes to satiation and satiety mechanisms during the
initial ~2?weeks of HFD exposure.
