Abstract

Objective: Given the promising effects of GLP-1/GIP/glucagon receptor triagonists on weight loss in animals and humans, improved understanding of underlying mechanism is required. We investigated a direct lipolytic effect of a specific GLP-1/GIP/glucagon receptor triagonist on human adipose tissue to disentangle central and peripheral effects as potential drivers of weight loss.

Design and methods: Isolated primary adipocytes from subcutaneous adipose tissue biopsies of 22 non-diabetic subjects [63.0 (57.0-69.5) years] were incubated with increasing concentrations of isoprenaline, GLP-1, GIP, glucagon, or a GLP-1/GIP/glucagon receptor triagonist. Glycerol concentration was measured following stimulation to assess lipolysis. mRNA expression of adipose tissue receptors was analyzed in parallel.

Results: Glycerol concentration only increased by isoprenaline, GIP (+13%), and GLP-1/GIP/glucagon receptor triagonist (+28%) but not by GLP-1 or glucagon. This effect was not related to age or body mass index (BMI). Higher adipose tissue GIP receptor mRNA expression was related to elevated glycerol release after GIP and GLP-1/GIP/glucagon receptor triagonist stimulation.

Conclusions: Direct lipolytic effects of GIP seem to exist in human subcutaneous adipose tissue. This might be targetable by multiple receptor agonists, especially with a high GIP receptor affinity. Such a mechanism can potentiate the beneficial effect on weight loss and will therefore represent a promising target of future research.

Clinical trial registration number: The trial was registered at German Clinical Trials Register (drks.de) as DRKS00010049.

期刊介绍： European Journal of Endocrinology is the official journal of the European Society of Endocrinology. Its predecessor journal is Acta Endocrinologica. The journal publishes high-quality original clinical and translational research papers and reviews in paediatric and adult endocrinology, as well as clinical practice guidelines, position statements and debates. Case reports will only be considered if they represent exceptional insights or advances in clinical endocrinology. Topics covered include, but are not limited to, Adrenal and Steroid, Bone and Mineral Metabolism, Hormones and Cancer, Pituitary and Hypothalamus, Thyroid and Reproduction. In the field of Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism we welcome manuscripts addressing endocrine mechanisms of disease and its complications, management of obesity/diabetes in the context of other endocrine conditions, or aspects of complex disease management. Reports may encompass natural history studies, mechanistic studies, or clinical trials. Equal consideration is given to all manuscripts in English from any country.
