Abstract: The assay was aimed to establish high fat diet induced metabolic syndrome (MS) model in male SD rat of nutrition.Four weeks old male SD rats were randomly divided into experimental group (n=24) and control group (n=6).The control group was fed with normal diet and the experimental group was fed with high fat diet which was composed of normal diet, egg yolk and peanuts.Two weeks later, the obesity resistant rats were excluded from the experimental group.Weight, systolic blood pressure and Lee's index were observed after thirty-two weeks.After twelve hours fasted, made the OGTT.Then all rats were sacrificed and tested for total cholesterol (TC) and serum triglyceride (TG).The experimental group weighted (794.0±63.5)g and the control group weighted (571.8±61.9)g, and the weights of rats of experimental group were 38.9% higher than that of control group.Lee's index of the experimental group was 343.0±8.7, while the control group was 319.2±7.1 (P<0.01).The levels of serum TC and TG of experimental group were extremely significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.01).Systolic blood pressure of the experimental group was 140.0±15.4, while the control group was 117.9±11.4, differences comparison of systolic blood pressure between experimental group and control group were significant (P<0.05).Insulin resistance of the experimental group was significantly (P<0.05).This study showed that four weeks old male SD rats were fed with high fat diet which was composed of normal diet, egg yolk and peanuts for thirty-two weeks could successfully and stably established metabolic syndrome model.
