Modulation of Adipocytokines Production and Serum NEFA Level by Metformin, Glimepiride, and Sitagliptin in HFD/STZ Diabetic Rats

Abstract: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by hyperglycemia owing to insulin resistance and/or insulin deficiency. Current theories of T2DM pathophysiology include a decline in β-cells function, a defect in insulin signaling pathways, and a dysregulation of secretory function of adipocytes. This study aimed to investigate the effect of different antidiabetic drugs on serum levels of certain adipocytokines and nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) in high-fat diet (HFD)/streptozo… Show more

“…Our study results elucidated that sitagliptin and saxagliptin improve lipid status in T2DM rats, via significant reduction of TCH, LDL and TGL (Figure 1). In line with these results are also the results of other research groups (35,36). Possible explanation for beneficial lipid effects of DPP4 inhibitors may be connected to its stimulating effect on the activated proteine-kinase pathway, which leads to increase in glucose and lipid catabolism (37).…”

“…Studies have shown that the action of adiponectin is closely related to its effect on the sensitivity to insulin in diabetic animals (Saad et al . ) and plays an important role in inflammation (Cao ). However, its exact influence or its relationship with the adipocytokines, such as vaspin and omentin, in obese individuals with type 2 diabetes is still unclear and further research is needed to clarify these facts.…”

“…[72] In the current study, insulin-resistant diabetic rats showed a significant decrease in serum ADP along with an increase in LEP levels with respect to normal rats; this is in accordance with the results of the previous studies. [73,74] The inverse association between ADP and IR may reflect the suppression of ADP production by compensatory hyperinsulinemia. [75] Moreover, serum ADP levels were lowered in obesity although adipose was the only tissue responsible for its synthesis, suggesting negative feedback on its production.…”
