Menopause can promoterenal disease in obese women, but this interaction is unclear. In a previous study, we observedthat obese male and female mice developed albuminuria, hyperfiltration, and glomerulomegaly,and these changes were more severe in those obese ovariectomized females. In this study, we alsoevaluated renal inflammation and lipotoxicity in that animal model. For six months, 43 males and36 females C57BL6/J mice were randomized to standard diet (SD) or high fat diet (HFD). A group offemale animals on SD or HFD was ovariectomized to simulate menopause. We evaluated cytokines:NF-κβ p65, IL-1β, MCP-1, TNF-α, total lipid content, lipid classes, and fatty acid profile in totallipid and individual lipid classes in renal tissue and urine. We found that obese males and femalesshowed higher NF-kβ p-65, TNF-α and MCP-1 in renal tissue, and obese females ovariectomizedhad higher IL-1β and TNF-α compared with not-ovariectomized. Also, obese animals showedlower proinflammatory and higher anti-inflammatory fatty acids in kidney total lipids, while obesefemales ovariectomized had a more exacerbated pattern. In brief, obesity induces inflammationand an unbalanced lipidic profile in renal tissue. This pattern seems to be enhanced in obesityafter menopause.
