Popis: Aims: This study aimed to investigate systematically (i) the appropriate dietary conditions to induce the features of the MetS in APOE*3Leiden.humanCholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (E3L.CETP) mice and (ii) whether the response of this model to different antidiabetic and hypolipidemic drugs is similar as in humans. Methods: Male obese, IR and dyslipidemic E3L.CETP mice were treated with antidiabetic drugs rosiglitazone, liraglutide or an experimental 11β-hydroxysteroid-dehydrogenase-1 (HSD-1) inhibitor, or with hypolipidemic drugs atorvastatin, fenofibrate or niacin for 4-6weeks. The effects on bw, IR and plasma and liver lipids were assessed. Results: Rosiglitazone, liraglutide and HSD-1 inhibitor significantly decreased glucose and insulin levels or IR. Liraglutide and HSD-1 inhibitor also decreased bw. Atorvastatin, fenofibrate and niacin improved the dyslipidemia and fenofibrate and niacin increased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. In addition, hepatic triglycerides were significantly decreased by treatment with rosiglitazone and liraglutide, while hepatic cholesterol esters were significantly decreased by rosiglitazone and atorvastatin. Conclusions: We conclude that the E3L.CETP mouse is a promising novel translational model to investigate the effects of new drugs, alone or in combination, that affect IR, diabetic dyslipidemia and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). © 2013 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
