Leptin, an adipokine, a major regulator of food intake, was recently suggested to play a role in immune response. We previously showed that weight reduction following IFNalpha therapy is due, at least in part, to direct induction of adipose tissue apoptosis. We now studied the effect of leptin on IFNalpha treated adipocytes in vitro and in vivo. Diet induced obese C57/B6 mice were treated continually with recombinant (r) IFNalphaA/D + leptin (100 U/g body weight + 10 microg/day, respectably) or leptin (10 microg/day) alone for 8 days. Co-administration of IFNalphaA/D + leptin significantly reduced plasma cholesterol (P<0.001), glucose (P<0.007) and pro-apoptotic protein levels (P<0.05). Additionally, co-administration prevented loss of body weight due to adipocyte apoptosis. Thus, leptin co-administration with IFNalphaA/D decreases some of the side effects of IFNalpha administration such as weight loss, cholesterol and glucose levels. 相似文献

本研究旨在探索白藜芦醇(RSV)对不同程度肥胖小鼠脂肪氧化应激状态和血脂的影响。高脂日粮(HFD)处理12周的昆明小鼠分为3类:肥胖抵抗(DIO-R)、中体重(Med)和肥胖(DIO),分别饲喂HFD、HFD+0.3 g/kg RSV和HFD+0.6 g/kg RSV日粮18周,并以正常日粮小鼠为对照。结果表明,0.6 g/kg RSV处理可显著降低DIO小鼠体重、腹脂率,显著提高脂肪组织抗氧化能力,改善血脂。0.3 g/kg RSV处理对DIO-R小鼠也有类似趋势,但0.6 g/kg RSV处理引起DIO-R小鼠脂肪组织抗氧化能力下降、血脂紊乱。总之,RSV在不同程度肥胖小鼠具有剂量特异性的氧化应激调控作用。 相似文献

Background
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is recognized as an important regulator of glucose homeostasis. Efforts to utilize GLP-1 mimetics in the treatment of diabetes have yielded clinical benefits. A major hurdle for an effective oral therapy has been the difficulty of finding a non-peptidic GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist. While its oral bioavailability still poses significant challenges, Boc5, one of the first such compounds, has demonstrated the attainment of GLP-1R agonism in diabetic mice. The present work was to investigate whether subchronic Boc5 treatment can restore glycemic control and induce sustainable weight loss in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice, an animal model of human obesity and insulin resistance.Methodology/Principal Findings
DIO mice were treated three times a week with Boc5 (0.3, 1 and 3 mg) for 12 weeks. Body weight, body mass index (BMI), food intake, fasting glucose, intraperitoneal glucose tolerance and insulin induced glucose clearance were monitored regularly throughout the treatment. Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, β-cell mass, islet size, body composition, serum metabolic profiles, lipogenesis, lipolysis, adipose hypertrophy and lipid deposition in the liver and muscle were also measured after 12 weeks of dosing. Boc5 dose-dependently reduced body weight, BMI and food intake in DIO mice. These changes were associated with significant decreases in fat mass, adipocyte hypertrophy and peripheral tissue lipid accumulation. Boc5 treatment also restored glycemic control through marked improvement of insulin sensitivity and normalization of β-cell mass. Administration of Boc5 (3 mg) reduced basal but enhanced insulin-mediated glucose incorporation and noradrenaline-stimulated lipolysis in isolated adipocytes from obese mice. Furthermore, circulating leptin, adiponectin, triglyceride, total cholesterol, nonesterified fatty acid and high-density lipoprotein/low-density lipoprotein ratio were normalized to various extents by Boc5 treatment.Conclusions/Significance
Boc5 may produce metabolic benefits via multiple synergistic mechanisms and may represent an attractive tool for therapeutic intervention of obesity and diabetes, by means of non-peptidic GLP-1R agonism. 相似文献4.

Obesity is currently considered as an epidemic in the western world, and it represents a major risk factor for life-threatening diseases such as heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and cancer. Taking advantage of DNA microarray technology, we tried to identify the molecules explaining the relationship between obesity and vascular disorders, comparing mRNA expression of about 12,000 genes in white adipose tissue between normal, high fat diet-induced obesity (DIO) and d-Trp34 neuropeptide Y-induced obesity in mice. Expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) mRNA displayed a 7.2-fold increase in obese mice as compared with normal mice, leading to substantially elevated MCP-1 protein levels in adipocytes. MCP-1 levels in plasma were also increased in DIO mice, and a strong correlation between plasma MCP-1 levels and body weight was identified. We also showed that elevated MCP-1 protein levels in plasma increased the CD11b-positive monocyte/macrophage population in DIO mice. Furthermore, infusion of MCP-1 into lean mice increased the CD11b-positive monocyte population without inducing changes in body weight. Given the importance of MCP-1 in activation of monocytes and subsequent atherosclerotic development, these results suggest a novel role of adiposity in the development of vascular disorders. 相似文献

Objective:
High dietary calcium (Ca) in the context of a dairy food matrix has been shown to reduce obesity development and associated inflammation in diet‐induced obese (DIO) rodents. The influence of Ca and dairy on these phenotypes in the context of preexisting obesity is not known. Furthermore, interpretations have been confounded historically by differences in body weight gain among DIO animals fed dairy‐based protein or high Ca.Design and Methods:
Adiposity along with associated metabolic and inflammatory outcomes were measured in DIO mice previously fattened for 12 week on a soy protein‐based obesogenic high fat diet (45% energy, 0.5% adequate Ca), then fed one of three high fat diets (n = 29‐30/group) for an additional 8 week: control (same as lead‐in diet), high‐Ca (1.5% Ca), or high‐Ca + nonfat dry milk (NFDM).Results and Conclusion:
Mice fed high‐Ca + NFDM had modestly, but significantly, attenuated weight gain compared to mice fed high‐Ca or versus controls (P < 0.001), whereas mice fed high‐Ca alone had increased weight gain compared to controls (P < 0.001). Total measured adipose depot weights between groups were similar, as were white adipose tissue inflammation and macrophage infiltration markers (e.g. TNFα, IL‐6, CD68 mRNAs). Mice fed high‐Ca + NFDM had significantly improved glucose tolerance following a glucose tolerance test, and markedly lower liver triglycerides compared to high‐Ca and control groups. Improved metabolic phenotypes in prefattened DIO mice following provision of a diet enriched with dairy‐based protein and carbohydrates appeared to be driven by non‐Ca components of dairy and were observed despite minimal differences in body weight or adiposity. 相似文献6.
Background
Obesity-related adipose inflammation has been thought to be a causal factor for the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Infiltrated macrophages in adipose tissue of obese animals and humans are an important source for inflammatory cytokines. Clodronate liposomes can ablate macrophages by inducing apoptosis. In this study, we aim to determine whether peritoneal injection of clodronate liposomes has any beneficial effect on systemic glucose homeostasis/insulin sensitivity and whether macrophage content in visceral adipose tissue will be reduced in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice.Methodology/Principal Findings
Clodronate liposomes were used to deplete macrophages in lean and DIO mice. Macrophage content in visceral adipose tissue, metabolic parameters, glucose and insulin tolerance, adipose and liver histology, adipokine and cytokine production were examined. Hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp study was also performed to assess systemic insulin sensitivity. Peritoneal injection of clodronate liposomes significantly reduced blood glucose and insulin levels in DIO mice. Systemic glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity were mildly improved in both lean and DIO mice treated with clodronate liposomes by intraperitoneal (ip) injection. Hepatosteatosis was dramatically alleviated and suppression of hepatic glucose output was markedly increased in DIO mice treated with clodronate liposomes. Macrophage content in visceral adipose tissue of DIO mice was effectively decreased without affecting subcutaneous adipose tissue. Interestingly, levels of insulin sensitizing hormone adiponectin, including the high molecular weight form, were significantly elevated in circulation.Conclusions/Significance
Intraperitoneal injection of clodronate liposomes reduces visceral adipose tissue macrophages, improves systemic glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity in DIO mice, which can be partially attributable to increased adiponectin levels. 相似文献7.
We investigated the effects of two low doses of interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) on nocturnal sleep in 18 healthy men by means of polysomnographic sleep recordings. At 1900h, human recombinant IFN-alpha (1000 or 10000 U/kg body weight) or placebo was administered subcutaneously. Between 2300h and 0700h subjects were allowed to sleep. In general effects were stronger at the dose of 10000 than 1000 U/kg body weight of IFN-alpha. Although, after IFN-alpha subjects experienced increased fatigue, the cytokine impaired the quality of nocturnal sleep. The higher dose of IFN-alpha suppressed slow wave sleep (17.8 +/- 2.0% vs 25.2 +/- 2.6% following placebo, P<0.003) but increased time spent in shallow sleep (P<0.05) during the first half of sleep time. Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep latency was postponed (P<0.02) and time spent in REM sleep was significantly decreased after IFN-alpha (P<0.04). The impairing influence of IFN-alpha on sleep in humans is in contrast with findings of sleep promoting effects of this cytokine in animals. Our data suggest that endogenous IFN-alpha may be a factor responsible for alterations of sleep, e.g. in the course of viral infections. 相似文献

Storage of excess calories as triglycerides is central to obesity and its associated disorders. Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferases (GPATs) catalyze the initial step in acylglyceride syntheses, including triglyceride synthesis. We utilized a novel small-molecule GPAT inhibitor, FSG67, to investigate metabolic consequences of systemic pharmacological GPAT inhibition in lean and diet-induced obese (DIO) mice. FSG67 administered intraperitoneally decreased body weight and energy intake, without producing conditioned taste aversion. Daily FSG67 (5 mg/kg, 15.3 μmol/kg) produced gradual 12% weight loss in DIO mice beyond that due to transient 9- to 10-day hypophagia (6% weight loss in pair-fed controls). Continued FSG67 maintained the weight loss despite return to baseline energy intake. Weight was lost specifically from fat mass. Indirect calorimetry showed partial protection by FSG67 against decreased rates of oxygen consumption seen with hypophagia. Despite low respiratory exchange ratio due to a high-fat diet, FSG67-treated mice showed further decreased respiratory exchange ratio, beyond pair-fed controls, indicating enhanced fat oxidation. Chronic FSG67 increased glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in DIO mice. Chronic FSG67 decreased gene expression for lipogenic enzymes in white adipose tissue and liver and decreased lipid accumulation in white adipose, brown adipose, and liver tissues without signs of damage. RT-PCR showed decreased gene expression for orexigenic hypothalamic neuropeptides AgRP or NPY after acute and chronic systemic FSG67. FSG67 given intracerebroventricularly (100 and 320 nmol icv) produced 24-h weight loss and feeding suppression, indicating contributions from direct central nervous system sites of action. Together, these data point to GPAT as a new potential therapeutic target for the management of obesity and its comorbidities. 相似文献

This study aimed to characterize and compare the effects of obesity on gene expression profiles in two distinct adipose depots, epididymal and bone marrow, at two different ages in mice. Alterations in gene expression were analyzed in adipocytes isolated from diet-induced obese (DIO) C57BL/6J male mice at 6 and 14 months of age and from leptin deficient mice (ob/ob) at 6 months of age using microarrays. DIO affected gene expression in both depots at 6 and 14 months, but more genes were altered in epididymal than bone marrow adipocytes at each age and younger mice displayed more changes than older animals. In epididymal adipocytes a total of 2789 (9.6%) genes were differentially expressed at 6-months with DIO, whereas 952 (3.3%) were affected at 14-months. In bone marrow adipocytes, 347 (1.2%) genes were differentially expressed at 6-months with DIO, whereas only 189 (0.66%) were changed at 14-months. 133 genes were altered by DIO in both fat depots at 6-months, and 37 genes at 14-months. Only four genes were altered in both depots at both ages with DIO. Bone marrow adipocytes are less responsive to DIO than epididymal adipocytes and the response of both depots to DIO declines with age. This loss of responsiveness with age is likely due to age-associated changes in expression of genes related to adipogenesis, inflammation and mitochondrial function that are similar to and obscure the changes commonly associated with DIO. Patterns of gene expression were generally similar in epididymal adipocytes from ob/ob and DIO mice; however, several genes were differentially expressed in bone marrow adipocytes from ob/ob and DIO mice, perhaps reflecting the importance of leptin signaling for bone metabolism. In conclusion, obesity affects age-associated alterations in gene expression in both epididymal and bone marrow adipocytes regardless of diet or genetic background. 相似文献

Maintenance of a reduced body weight is accompanied by a decrease in energy expenditure beyond that accounted for by reduced body mass and composition, as well as by an increased drive to eat. These effects appear to be due--in part--to reductions in circulating leptin concentrations due to loss of body fat. Gut microbiota have been implicated in the regulation of body weight. The effects of weight loss on qualitative aspects of gut microbiota have been studied in humans and mice, but these studies have been confounded by concurrent changes in diet composition, which influence microbial community composition. We studied the impact of 20% weight loss on the microbiota of diet-induced obese (DIO: 60% calories fat) mice on a high-fat diet (HFD). Weight-reduced DIO (DIO-WR) mice had the same body weight and composition as control (CON) ad-libitum (AL) fed mice being fed a control diet (10% calories fat), allowing a direct comparison of diet and weight-perturbation effects. Microbial community composition was assessed by pyrosequencing 16S rRNA genes derived from the ceca of sacrificed animals. There was a strong effect of diet composition on the diversity and composition of the microbiota. The relative abundance of specific members of the microbiota was correlated with circulating leptin concentrations and gene expression levels of inflammation markers in subcutaneous white adipose tissue in all mice. Together, these results suggest that both host adiposity and diet composition impact microbiota composition, possibly through leptin-mediated regulation of mucus production and/or inflammatory processes that alter the gut habitat. 相似文献

Previous studies demonstrated that overexpression of angiotensinogen (AGT) in adipose tissue increased blood pressure. However, the contribution of endogenous AGT in adipocytes to the systemic renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and blood pressure control is undefined. To define a role of adipocyte-derived AGT, mice with loxP sites flanking exon 2 of the AGT gene (Agt(fl/fl)) were bred to transgenic mice expressing Cre recombinase under the control of an adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein 4 promoter (aP2) promoter to generate mice with adipocyte AGT deficiency (Agt(aP2)). AGT mRNA abundance in adipose tissue and AGT secretion from adipocytes were reduced markedly in adipose tissues of Agt(aP2) mice. To determine the contribution of adipocyte-derived AGT to the systemic RAS and blood pressure control, mice were fed normal laboratory diet for 2 or 12 mo. In males and females of each genotype, body weight and fat mass increased with age. However, there was no effect of adipocyte AGT deficiency on body weight, fat mass, or adipocyte size. At 2 and 12 mo of age, mice with deficiency of AGT in adipocytes had reduced plasma concentrations of AGT (by 24-28%) compared with controls. Moreover, mice lacking AGT in adipocytes exhibited reduced systolic blood pressures compared with controls (Agt(fl/fl), 117 ± 2; Agt(aP2), 110 ± 2 mmHg; P < 0.05). These results demonstrate that adipocyte-derived AGT contributes to the systemic RAS and blood pressure control. 相似文献

c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK) plays an important role in insulin resistance; however, identification of pharmacologically potent and selective small molecule JNK inhibitors has been limited. Compound A has a cell IC(50) of 102 nM and is at least 100-fold selective against related kinases and 27-fold selective against glycogen synthase kinase-3beta and cyclin-dependent kinase-2. In C57BL/6 mice, compound A reduced LPS-mediated increases in both plasma cytokine levels and phosphorylated c-Jun in adipose tissue. Treatment of mice fed a high-fat diet with compound A for 3 wk resulted in a 13.1 +/- 1% decrease in body weight and a 9.3 +/- 1.5% decrease in body fat, compared with a 6.6 +/- 2.1% increase in body weight and a 6.7 +/- 2.1% increase in body fat in vehicle-treated mice. Mice pair fed to those that received compound A exhibited a body weight decrease of 7 +/- 1% and a decrease in body fat of 1.6 +/- 1.3%, suggesting that reductions in food intake could not account solely for the reductions in adiposity observed. Compound A dosed at 30 mg/kg for 13 days in high-fat fed mice resulted in a significant decrease in phosphorylated c-Jun in adipose tissue accompanied by a decrease in weight and reductions in glucose and triglycerides and increases in insulin sensitivity to levels comparable with those in lean control mice. The ability of compound A to reduce the insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) von Ser307 and partially reverse the free fatty acid inhibition of glucose uptake in 3T3L1 adipocytes, suggests that enhancement of insulin signaling in addition to weight loss may contribute to the effects of compound A on insulin sensitization in vivo. Pharmacological inhibition of JNK using compound A may therefore offer an effective therapy for type 2 diabetes mediated at least in part via weight reduction. 相似文献

Interscapular brown adipose tissue (iBAT) is formed during fetal development and stable for the life span of the mouse. In addition, brown adipocytes also appear in white fat depots (wBAT) between 10 and 21 days of age in mice maintained at a room temperature of 23 °C. However, this expression is transient. By 60 days of age the brown adipocytes have disappeared, but they can re-emerge if the adult mouse is exposed to the cold (5 °C) or treated with β3-adrenergic agonists. Since the number of brown adipocytes that can be induced in white fat influences the capacity of the mouse to resist the obese state, we determined the effects of the nutritional conditions on post-natal development (birth to 21 days) of wBAT and its long-term effects on diet-induced obesity (DIO). Under-nutrition caused essentially complete suppression of wBAT in inguinal fat at 21 days of age, as indicated by expression of Ucp1 and genes of mitochondrial structure and function based upon microarray and qRT-PCR analysis, whereas over-nutrition had no discernible effects on wBAT induction. Surprisingly, the suppression of wBAT at 21 days of age did not affect DIO in adult mice maintained at 23 °C, nor did it affect the reduction in obesity or cold tolerance when DIO mice were exposed to the cold at 5 °C for one week. Gene expression analysis indicated that mice raised under conditions that suppressed wBAT at 21 days of age were able to normally induce wBAT as adults. Therefore, neither severe hypoleptinemia nor hypoinsulinemia during suckling permanently impaired brown adipogenesis in white fat. In addition, energy balance studies of DIO mice exposed to cold indicates that mice with reduced adipose stores preferentially increased food intake, whereas those with larger adipose tissue depots preferred to utilize energy from their adipose stores. 相似文献

This study explores the anti-obesity properties of a Sasa quelpaertensis leaf extract (SQE) in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese C57BL/6 mice and mature 3T3-L1 adipocytes. SQE administration with HFD for 70 d significantly decreased the body weight gain, adipose tissue weight, and serum total cholesterol and triglyceride levels in comparison with the HFD group. SQE administration also reduced the serum levels of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, glutamic pyruvic transaminase and lactate dehydrogenase, and the accumulation of lipid droplets in the liver, suggesting a protective effect against HFD-induced hepatic steatosis. SQE administration restored the HFD-induced decreases with phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) in epididymal adipose tissue. SQE also induced AMPK phosphorylation in mature 3T3-L1 adipocytes. These results suggest that SQE exerted an anti-obesity effect on HFD-induced obese mice by activating AMPK in adipose tissue and reducing lipid droplet accumulation in the liver. 相似文献

VPAC1是垂体腺苷酸环化酶激活多肽(pituitary adenylate cyclase—activating polypeptide,PACAP)和血管活性肠肽(vasoactive intestinal polypeptide,VIP)的共同受体。VPAC1介导PACAP和VIP抑制食欲和抗炎的生物学功能。本研究体外实验表明,VPAC1在分化成熟的3T3-L1脂肪细胞中表达增高,并且VPAC1激动剂(10—1000nmol/L每1×10^6 cells)可诱导脂肪细胞脂解,因此我们预计VPAC1激动剂具有抗肥胖及肥胖综合征的作用。为研究VAPC1激动剂[Lys15,Arg16,Leu27]-VIP(1—7)GRF(8—27)对营养性肥胖及肥胖综合征的干预作用,本研究又设计了两组体内实验:(1)高脂喂养NIH雄性小鼠4周,同时腹腔注射VPAC1激动剂;以注射生理盐水作为对照;(2)高脂喂养NIH雄性小鼠5周,构建肥胖模型后,再腹腔注射VPAC1激动剂4周,同样以注射生理盐水作为对照。采集摄食、体重、体脂、血糖及血脂等指标。结果显示,VPAC1激动剂显著抑制摄食、抑制高脂饮食诱导的体重及体脂(附睾及背部)重量的增长,并有效改善高脂饮食诱导的高血糖及高血脂,提高机体的糖耐受。高剂量(每天50nmol/kg体重)VPAC1激动剂比低剂量(每天5nmol/kg体重)有更显著的抗肥胖作用,提示VPAC1激动剂的抗肥胖作用具有剂量依赖性。以上结果表明,VPAC1激动剂不仅能抑制高脂诱导的肥胖的发展,而且可有效改善肥胖相关疾病:其抗肥胖作用的机制是复杂整合的,值得进一步深入研究。 相似文献

Leptin plays a critical role in the control of energy homeostasis. The sympathetic cardiovascular actions of leptin have emerged as a potential link between obesity and hypertension. We previously demonstrated that in mice, modest obesity induced by 10 wk of a high-fat diet is associated with preservation of leptin ability to increase renal sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) despite the resistance to the metabolic effects of leptin. Here, we examined whether selective leptin resistance exists in mice with late-stage diet-induced obesity (DIO) produced by 20 wk of a high-fat diet. The decrease in food intake and body weight induced by intraperitoneal or intracerebroventricular injection of leptin was significantly attenuated in the DIO mice. Regional SNA responses to intravenous leptin were also attenuated in DIO mice. In contrast, intracerebroventricularly administered leptin caused contrasting effects on regional SNA in DIO mice. Renal SNA response to intracerebroventricular leptin was preserved, whereas lumbar and brown adipose tissue SNA responses were attenuated. Intact renal SNA response to leptin combined with the increased cerebrospinal fluid leptin levels in DIO mice represents a potential mechanism for the adverse cardiovascular consequences of obesity. Lastly, we examined the role of phosphoinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) and melanocortin receptors (MCR) in mediating the preserved renal SNA response to leptin in obesity. Presence of PI3K inhibitor (LY294002) or MC3/4R antagonist (SHU9119) significantly attenuated the renal SNA response to leptin in DIO and agouti obese mice. Our results demonstrate the importance of PI3K and melanocortin receptors in the transduction of leptin-induced renal sympathetic activation in obesity. 相似文献
