Author(s): Herman Mark*
While natriuretic peptides (NPs) are principally known for their renal and cardiovascular activities, NPs invigorate lipolysis in adipocytes and prompt a thermogenic program in white fat tissue (WAT) that looks like earthy colored fat. The NP clearance receptor (NPRC), which binds to and degrades NPs, has a negative impact on the biological effects of NPs. In obese mice, NPRC knockout (KO) increases insulin sensitivity and protects against diet-induced obesity. We used the specific NPRC ligand ANP to block NP clearance in a mouse model of type 2 diabetes to see if pharmacologic blockade of NPRC enhanced the beneficial metabolic actions of NPs in type 2 diabetes. We tracked down that treatment with ANP caused a huge diminishing in body weight by expanding energy use and lessening fat mass without an adjustment of lean weight. Serum insulin levels were lower and insulin sensitivity was .. View More»
