AIMS: To compare the therapeutic potential of TP-113, a unique molecular entity linking DHA with metformin, for alleviating insulin resistance in obese diabetic mice through the PDX/IL-6 pathway.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: We utilized the generically obese diabetic db/db mouse model for all experiments. Initial studies investigated both a dose and time course response. These results were then utilized to design a long-term (5 week) treatment protocol. Mice were gavaged twice daily with 1 of 3 treatments: 200 mg/kg BW TP113, an equivalent dose of metformin alone (70 mg/kg BW) or water. Whole-body insulin sensitivity was measured using the hyperinsulinaemic-isoglycaemic clamp procedure in awake unrestrained mice.
RESULTS: We first confirmed that acute TP-113 treatment raises PDX and IL-6 levels in skeletal muscle. We next tested the long-term glucoregulatory effect of oral TP-113 in obese diabetic db/db mice and compared its effect to an equivalent dose of metformin. A 5-week oral treatment with TP-113 reduced insulin resistance compared to both vehicle treatment and metformin alone, revealed by the determination of whole-body insulin sensitivity for glucose disposal using the clamp technique. This insulin-sensitizing effect was explained primarily by improvement of insulin action to suppress hepatic glucose production in TP-113-treated mice. These effects of TP-113 were greater than that of an equivalent dose of metformin, indicating that TP-113 increases metformin efficacy for reducing insulin resistance.
CONCLUSION: We conclude that TP-113 improves insulin sensitivity in obese diabetic mice through activation of the PDX/IL-6 signaling axis in skeletal muscle and improved glucoregulatory action in the liver.
