Abstract

In recent years, the prevalence of chronic non-communicable diseases has increased. In females, there is a close relationship in the development of these diseases after menopause to estrogenic signaling occurring in various tissues; such is the case for the bladder, compromising its physiology in females. We sought to analyze the effect of diet-induced metabolic syndrome on the bladder epithelium. Eighteen 12-week-old Wistar rats were divided into an intact control group (C, n = 6), a cafeteria diet SMet group (CAF, n = 6), and a high-fat/high-sugar diet SMet group (HF/HS, n = 6). Atrophy and hyperplasia in the bladder epithelium were observed in the case of the CAF diet, while only inflammation was observed in the other schemes.
