A cross talk between adropin and possible metabolic syndrome disorders in experimental male albino rats
Keywords:
adropin, metabolic syndrome, streptozotocin, diabetes, PPARαAbstract
This research is to study the relationship between adropin and possible metabolic syndrome disorders, also to assess the role of PPAR-α in these disorders in rats. 50 male rats were divided into 5 groups: I-Control group, II-Obese group, III-Obese diabetic group, IV-Adropin treated obese group, V-Adropin treated obese diabetic group. At the end, body weight, BMI, AC/TC ratio and lee index was measured, blood samples were collected for measuring glucose , insulin, HbA1C , HOMA-IR , HOMA-β , TC, TG, HDL-C , LDL-C, atherogenic index , ALT, AST & GGT. The liver was dissected for measuring PPARα expression, TNF-α, IL6 & iNOS. High fat diet produced a significant increase in all anthropometric measures in group (II) and (III) compared to control group. After adropin administration they were significantly decreased. The serum blood glucose, insulin, HbA1c and HOMA-IR were significantly increased, while Β- cell function significantly decreased in group (II) and (III) compared to control, however after adropin administration they showed significant decrease while, HOMA-β was significantly decreased. Group (II) and (III) showed significant lipid profile deterioration compared to control group, after adropin treatment lipid profile was significantly improved.
