Abstract

Long term administration of leptin decreases caloric intake and fat mass and improves glucose tolerance. Here we examine whether leptin acutely regulates peripheral and hepatic insulin action. Recombinant mouse leptin (0.3 mg/kg.h, Leptin +) or vehicle (Leptin -) were administered for 6 h to 4-month-old rats (n = 20), and insulin (3 milliunits/kg.min) clamp studies were performed. During physiologic hyperinsulinemia (plasma insulin approximately 65 microunits/ml), the rates of whole body glucose uptake, glycolysis, and glycogen synthesis and the rates of 2-deoxyglucose uptake in individual tissues were similar in Leptin - and Leptin +. Post-absorptive hepatic glucose production (HGP) was similar in the two groups. However, leptin enhanced insulin's inhibition of HGP (4.1 +/- 0.7 and 6.2 +/- 0.7 mg/kg.min; p < 0.05). The decreased HGP in the Leptin + group was due to a marked suppression of hepatic glycogenolysis (0.7 +/- 0.1 versus 4.1 +/- 0.6 mg/kg.min, in Leptin + versus Leptin -, respectively; p < 0.001), whereas the % contribution of gluconeogenesis to HGP was markedly increased (82 +/- 3% versus 36 +/- 4% in Leptin + and Leptin -, respectively; p < 0.001). At the end of the 6-h leptin infusion, the hepatic abundance of glucokinase mRNA was decreased, whereas that of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase mRNA was increased compared with Leptin -. We conclude that an acute increase in plasma leptin 1) enhances insulin's ability to inhibit HGP, 2) does not affect peripheral insulin action, and 3) induces a redistribution of intrahepatic glucose fluxes and changes in the gene expression of hepatic enzymes that closely resemble those of fasting.

  • The enhanced insulin-mediated suppression of glucose production by leptin in non-diabetic rats is due to marked suppression of hepatic glycogenolysis, whereas gluconeogenesis is paradoxically increased.

    “This enhanced insulin-mediated suppression of glucose production was due to a marked suppression of hepatic glycogenolysis, whereas gluconeogenesis was paradoxically increased (152).”

  • In non-diabetic rats, acute intravenous leptin infusion enhances insulin's ability to suppress glucose production without affecting glucose uptake.

    “In non-diabetic rats, an acute intravenous (i.v.) leptin infusion enhanced insulin's ability to suppress glucose production without affecting glucose uptake.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
