Effects of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-α and PPAR-γ agonists on glucose and lipid metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Abstract: Aims/hypothesis The aim of the study was to examine the effects of pioglitazone (PIO), a peroxisome proliferatoractivated receptor (PPAR)-γ agonist, and fenofibrate (FENO), a PPAR-α agonist, as monotherapy and in combination on glucose and lipid metabolism. Subjects and methods Fifteen type 2 diabetic patients received FENO (n=8) or PIO (n=7) for 3 months, followed by the addition of the other agent for 3 months in an openlabel study. Subjects received a 4 h hyperinsulinaemiceuglycaemic clamp and a hepatic fat… Show more

“…39,40 Rats undernourished during postnatal development had elevated expression of PPARa as well as the oxidative enzyme COX4 in skeletal muscle. Taken together, these results suggest that rats undernourished during suckling may have a greater ability to oxidize fatty acids, utilize glucose and increase insulin sensitivity.…”

“…Furthermore, no biopsy, which is the ''gold standard'' for NAFLD diagnosis and staging, was performed [99] . Another small study included 15 patients with T2DM randomized to fenofibrate or pioglitazone [100] . Pioglitazone significantly improved glucose homeostasis and reduced fasting TG and free fatty acid (FFA) concentrations.…”

“…40 In contrast, no such effect of fenofibrate on liver enzymes or hepatic/muscle insulin sensitivity (assessed by the gold-standard insulin clamp technique) was observed in studies performed in obese subjects with type 2 diabetes. 41 In a similar way, while rosiglitazone has been reported to improve elevated liver function tests (LFTs) and steatosis in humans, 42 in mice rosiglitazone increases hepatic transaminases and worsens necroinflammation and steatosis. 43 …”
