Popis: Objectives: We here assessed whether typical pathogens of laboratory mice affect the development of diet-induced obesity and glucose intolerance, and whether colonization affects the efficacy of the GLP-1R agonist liraglutide and of the GLP-1/GIP co-agonist MAR709 to treat obesity and diabetes. Methods: Male C57BL/6J mice were experimentally infected with Helicobacter hepaticus, Rodentibacter pneumotropicus and Staphylococcus aureus and compared to a group of uninfected specific and opportunistic pathogen free (SOPF) mice. The development of diet-induced obesity and glucose intolerance was monitored over a period of 26 weeks. To study the influence of pathogens on drug treatment, mice were then subjected for 6 days daily treatment with either the GLP-1 receptor agonist liraglutide or the GLP-1/GIP co-agonist MAR709. Results: Colonized mice did not differ from SOPF controls regarding HFD-induced body weight gain, food intake, body composition, glycemic control, or responsiveness to treatment with liraglutide or the GLP-1/GIP co-agonist MAR709. Conclusions: We conclude that the occurrence of H. hepaticus, R. pneumotropicus and S. aureus does neither affect the development of diet-induced obesity or type 2 diabetes, nor the efficacy of GLP-1-based drugs to decrease body weight and to improve glucose control in mice.
