To investigate the effects of rapeseed diacylglycerol oil (RDG) intake on lipid accumulation and metabolism in C57BL/6J mice, obese mice were fed a high-fat diet in which 45% of the total energy content came from RDG (RDGM group) or rapeseed triacylglycerol oil (RTGM group). This diet intervention was conducted for 12 weeks following the establishment of the obese mouse model. By the end of the experiment, the serum glucose levels of the mice in the RTGM and RDGM groups were 13.0 ± 1.3 mmol/L and 9.7 ± 1.5 mmol/L, respectively. Meanwhile, the serum triglyceride level in the RDGM group was 26.3% lower than that in the RTGM group. The weight-loss effect in the RDGM group was accompanied by a significant decrease in the white adipose tissue (WAT) index. The RDG intervention did not significantly change the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of the rapeseed oil in vivo. The RDG diet improved the liver lipid metabolism abnormalities induced by a high-fat diet, leading to decreased liver damage index values (AST and ALT). Additionally, compared to that in the RTGM group, the expression of the adipogenic genes PPAR-γ and DGAT decreased in both the liver and intestine by 21.7% and 16.7% and by 38.7% and 47.2%, respectively, in the RDGM group. Further, most lipolytic genes in BAT showed no significant change after the RDG intervention. This implies that RDG regulates lipid metabolism by altering the expression of adipogenic genes in the liver, intestine, and adipose tissue, thereby reducing the accumulation of WAT. Furthermore, the RDG diet enhanced gut flora diversity, increasing the relative levels of unclassified Muribaculaceae and decreasing the levels of Dubosiella and Faecalibaculum in the mouse gut, potentially accelerating lipid metabolism. Thus, a three-month RDG diet intervention in obese mice exhibited benefits in regulating the somatotype, serum obesity-related indices, gut flora structure, and lipid metabolism in the adipose tissue, liver, and intestine.
