From Fibrates and glitazones are two classes of drugs
currently used in the treatment of dyslipidemia and insulin resistance
(IR), respectively. Whereas glitazones are insulin sensitizers acting via activation of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)

subtype, fibrates exert their lipid-lowering activity via PPAR
.
To determine whether PPAR
activators also improve insulin
sensitivity, we measured the capacity of three PPAR
-selective agonists, fenofibrate, ciprofibrate, and the new compound GW9578, in
two rodent models of high fat diet-induced (C57BL/6 mice) or genetic
(obese Zucker rats) IR. At doses yielding serum concentrations shown to
activate selectively PPAR
, these compounds markedly lowered
hyperinsulinemia and, when present, hyperglycemia in both animal
models. This effect relied on the improvement of insulin action on
glucose utilization, as indicated by a lower insulin peak in response
to intraperitoneal glucose in ciprofibrate-treated IR obese Zucker
rats. In addition, fenofibrate treatment prevented high fat
diet-induced increase of body weight and adipose tissue mass without
influencing caloric intake. The specificity for PPAR
activation
in vivo was demonstrated by marked alterations in the expression of PPAR
target genes, whereas PPAR
target gene
mRNA levels did not change in treated animals. These results
indicate that compounds with a selective PPAR
activation profile
reduce insulin resistance without having adverse effects on body weight and adipose tissue mass in animal models of IR.
