    Abstract:
    AIM: To clarify the effects of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonists (GIPRAs) on feeding and body weight. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Acute and subchronic effects of subcutaneous GIPFA-085, a long-acting GIPRA, on blood glucose, food intake, body weight, respiratory exchange ratio and plasma leptin levels were measured in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice and/or functional leptin-deficient ob/ob mice. The effects of GIPFA-085 on the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC) neurons from lean and DIO mice were studied by measuring cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+ ]i ). RESULTS: Single bolus GIPFA-085 (30, 300 nmol/kg) dose-dependently reduced blood glucose in glucose tolerance tests, elevated plasma leptin levels at 0.5-6 hours and inhibited food intake at 2-24 hours after injection in DIO mice. Daily GIPFA-085 (300 nmol/kg) inhibited food intake and increased fat utilization on day 1, and reduced body weight gain on days 3-12 of treatment in DIO, but not ob/ob, mice. GIPFA-085 increased [Ca2+ ]i in the ARC leptin-responsive and proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons. GIPFA-085 and leptin cooperated to increase [Ca2+ ]i in ARC neurons and inhibit food intake. CONCLUSIONS: GIPFA-085 acutely inhibits feeding and increases lipid utilization, and sustainedly lowers body weight in DIO mice via mechanisms involving rises in leptin and activation of ARC leptin-responsive and POMC neurons. This study highlights the therapeutic potential of GIPRAs for treating obesity and diabetes.
