Abstrakt: In this study, we aimed to investigate whether the anti-diabetic effects of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and insulin can be mediated through the regulation of gene expression related to irisin production and mitochondrial biogenesis in type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) rats. Four groups (n = 6) were used in this study: control, T2DM, T2DM + insulin, and T2DM + GABA groups. After T2DM induction for 3 months (high-fat diet + 35 mg/kg streptozotocin) and treatment with GABA or insulin for 3 months, circulating levels of FBG, triglyceride, LDL, Ox-LDL, and insulin as well as hepatic and serum irisin levels were measured. The mRNA expressions of fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 (FNDC5), mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM), and mitochondrial uncoupling protein 3 (UCP3) were also evaluated in the skeletal muscle of all groups. GABA therapy improved the FBG and insulin levels in diabetic rats. Insulin treatment significantly reduced FBG and failed to maintain glucose close to the control level. Insulin or GABA therapy significantly decreased the levels of LDL, Ox-LDL, and HOMA-IR index. Circulating irisin levels were markedly decreased in insulin-treated group, while irisin levels did not show significant changes in GABA-treated group compared with control group. GABA or insulin therapy increased mRNA expressions of TFAM and UCP3 in diabetic rats. GABA therapy also led to a significant increase in FNDC5 mRNA. Our findings suggest that the anti-diabetic effect of GABA may be mediated, in part, by a decrease in Ox-LDL levels and an increase in the levels of irisin as well as FNDC5, TFAM, and UCP3 gene expression in T2DM rats.
