In vivo PET imaging with [18F]FDG to explain improved glucose uptake in an apolipoprotein A-I treated mouse model of diabetes

Abstract: Aims/hypothesis Type 2 diabetes is characterised by decreased HDL levels, as well as the level of apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), the main apolipoprotein of HDLs. Pharmacological elevation of HDL and apoA-I levels is associated with improved glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. This is partly due to improved glucose uptake in skeletal muscle. Methods This study used kinetic modelling to investigate the impact of increasing plasma apoA-I levels on the metabolism of glucose in the db/db mouse model.

“…The LC proportionally affected the precision of the MRGlu value, but not the relative difference between the two groups. PET allows simultaneous measurements of radiotracer uptake and tissue kinetics in multiple organs [ 50 52 ]. However, we did not compare skeletal muscle due to higher background activity after intraperitoneal 18 F-FDG injection.…”

“…This has been described as the major atheroprotective effect of apoA-I 1 . Other beneficial effects of the apoA-I protein, including its anti-thrombotic and anti-oxidant functions, and a positive influence of apoA-I/HDL on glucose control, with potential implications in the prevention and treatment of diabetes, have also been demonstrated 2 6 . These features of the apoA-I protein have spurred large interests in exploring the translational medicine potential in cardiovascular disease and diabetes 7 , 8 .…”

“…Both HDLs and apoA-I increase the synthesis and secretion of insulin in pancreatic beta cells (112,113). They also enhance glucose uptake by skeletal muscle (114)(115)(116), and thus improve insulin sensitivity. An increase in either, or both, of these HDL functions in people treated with a CETP inhibitor could explain the improvement in glycemic control and decreased risk of developing diabetes that was observed in these studies.…”
