Sex steroids affect triglyceride handling, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, and insulin sensitivity: a 1-week randomized clinical trial in healthy young men.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate metabolic effects of sex steroids in nonfasting and fasting conditions, independent from changes in body composition.

Research design and methods

A randomized clinical trial was performed to create contrasting sex steroid levels in healthy young men: by letrozole (aromatase inhibitor) to lower estradiol (E(2)) and increase testosterone (group T, n = 10) versus letrozole plus E(2) patches to lower T and raise E(2) (group E, n = 10). Mixed meals and hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps were performed before and after a 1-week treatment period.

Results

Following intervention, the postprandial triglyceride response displayed a diverging response with a decline in group T and an increase in group E; the postprandial glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) response increased in group T. Insulin sensitivity increased in group T but remained unaltered in group E.

Conclusions

In healthy young men, short-term changes in sex steroids affect postprandial triglyceride and GIP response and insulin sensitivity.

Project description:Aims/introductionThe involvement of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) on inflammation was explored in atherosclerosis and adipose tissue. Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory disease, and is considered one of the diabetic complications. In the present study, to examine the effect of GIP on periodontitis, we induced experimental periodontitis in glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor-knockout mice (GIPRKO). We also investigated the anti-inflammatory effect of GIP in a culture system.Materials and methodsExperimental periodontitis was induced by ligature wire in GIPRKO and C57BL/C mice. Two weeks after the ligature, immunohistological evaluation and inflammatory messenger ribonucleic acid expression in the gingiva was examined. To elucidate the role of GIP in inflammation, the effects of GIP on lipopolysaccharide-induced gene expressions in THP-1 cells were evaluated.ResultsPeriodontitis increased inflammatory cell infiltration, macrophage accumulation and tumor necrosis factor-? and nitric oxide synthase gene expressions in the gingiva. Periodontitis in GIPRKO showed a marked increase of inflammatory cells in the gingivomucosal tissue. Mac-1-positive macrophages and the inflammatory gene expressions were significantly increased in periodontitis in GIPRKO compared with C57BL/C mice periodontitis. Immunohistochemical staining confirmed that GIP receptors were expressed in residual and infiltrated Mac-1-positive macrophages. The in vitro study showed that GIP suppressed lipopolysaccharide-induced tumor necrosis factor-? and nitric oxide synthase gene expression in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, the inhibitory effect of GIP on lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory gene expressions was at least partially through cyclic adenosine monophosphate/protein kinase A pathway.ConclusionsThese results suggest the beneficial effects of GIP on periodontal disease. In diabetic patients, GIP is expected to have a direct anti-inflammatory effect on periodontitis in addition to its glucose-lowering effect.
