Leptin downregulates ghrelin levels in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice.

چکیده
Ghrelin, an orexigenic peptide produced in the stomach, is increased in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic (DM) mice. This study clarifies the regulation of ghrelin levels by leptin in STZ-DM mice. STZ-DM mice had higher plasma ghrelin concentrations and greater ghrelin mRNA expression than control mice. Changes in ghrelin levels were dose dependently attenuated by the subcutaneous injection of leptin (0-27 nmol x kg(-1) x day(-1) over 7 days). Leptin treatment also partially reversed the hyperphagia and hyperglycemia observed in STZ-DM mice, but not the hypoinsulinemia, and there was a decrease in plasma ghrelin concentrations and ghrelin mRNA levels compared with STZ-LEP pair-fed mice. These results indicate that leptin treatment partially reverses elevated plasma ghrelin levels in STZ-DM mice independent of food intake and insulin, and suggest that hypoleptinemia in STZ-DM mice upregulates ghrelin.

Effect of exogenous leptin on serum levels of lipids, glucose, renal and hepatic variables in both genders of obese and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats
Objective(s): Leptin exerts various effects on appetite and body weight. Disruption of the obesitygene is precedent to fatness. Insulin or glucose elevates leptin, but streptozotocin reduces it. However, controversial data exist for the effects of leptin on diabetes and leptin level in each gender. Leptin can damage the kidney function but little evidence exists for its hepatic effects. The aim...

BACKGROUND Diabetic polyphagia has been associated with elevated plasma ghrelin levels in experimental type 1 diabetes. This increase in food consumption contributes to chronic hyperglycaemia in diabetes thus contributing to the development of micro- and macrovascular complications. We have reported that plant-derived oleanolic acid (OA) and maslinic acid (MA) reduce blood glucose levels, in pa...
