Insulin resistance is strongly associated with metabolic dyslipidemia, which is largely a postprandial phenomenon. Though previously regarded as a consequence of delayed triglyceride-rich lipoprotein clearance, emerging evidence present intestinal overproduction of apoB-48-containing lipoproteins as a major contributor to postprandial dyslipidemia. The majority of mechanistic information is however derived from animal models, namely the fructose-fed Syrian Golden hamster, and extension to human studies to date has been limited. Work in our laboratory has established that aberrant insulin signalling exists in the enterocyte, and that inflammation appears to induce intestinal insulin resistance. The intestine is a major site of lipid synthesis in the body, and upregulated intestinal de novo lipogenesis and cholesterogenesis have been noted in insulin resistant and diabetic states. There is also enhanced dietary lipid absorption attributable to changes in ABCG5/8, NPC1L1, CD36/FAT, and FATP4. Proteins that are involved in chylomicron assembly and secretion, including MTP, MGAT, DGAT, apoAI-V, and Sar1 GTPase, show evidence of increased expression and activity levels. Increased circulating free fatty acids, typically observed in insulin resistant states, may serve to deliver lipid substrates to the intestine for enhanced chylomicron assembly and secretion. To compound the dysregulation of intestinal lipid metabolism, there are changes in the secretion of gut-derived peptides, which include GLP-1, GLP-2, and GIP. Thus, accumulating evidence presents intestinal lipoprotein secretion as a highly regulated process that is sensitive to perturbations in whole body energy homeostasis, and is severely perturbed in insulin resistant states.

The aim of the current study was to elucidate the effect of seabuckthorn leaves (SL) extract and flavonoid glycosides extract from seabuckthorn leaves (SLG) on diet-induced obesity and related metabolic disturbances, and additionally, to identify whether flavonoid glycosides and other components in SL can exert a possible interaction for the prevention of metabolic diseases by comparing the effect of SL and SLG. C57BL/6J mice were fed a normal diet (ND, AIN-93G purified diet), high-fat diet (HFD, 60 kcal% fat), HFD + 1.8% (w/w) SL (SL), and HFD + 0.04% (w/w) SLG (SLG) for 12 weeks. In high fat-fed mice, SL and SLG decreased the adiposity by suppressing lipogenesis in adipose tissue, while increasing the energy expenditure. SL and SLG also improved hepatic steatosis by suppressing hepatic lipogenesis and lipid absorption, whilst also enhancing hepatic fatty acid oxidation, which may be linked to the improvement in dyslipidemia. Moreover, SL and SLG improved insulin sensitivity by suppressing the levels of plasma GIP that were modulated by secreted resistin and pro-inflammatory cytokine, and hepatic glucogenic enzyme activities. SL, especially its flavonoid glycosides (SLG), can protect against the deleterious effects of diet-induced obesity (DIO) and its metabolic complications such as adiposity, dyslipidemia, inflammation, hepatic steatosis, and insulin resistance.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a disorder characterized by hyperandrogenism, oligo- or anovulation, and/or polycystic ovary. It frequently presents with dyslipidemia and insulin resistance. Recent studies have shown that the white adipose tissue-derived asprosin is elevated in humans with insulin resistance. Because many PCOS patients have a propensity to develop dyslipidemia and/or insulin resistance, asprosin metabolism could be dysregulated in PCOS patients. Accordingly, we investigated serum levels of asprosin, irisin, GIP, androgens, LH, glucose, insulin, and lipids as well as HOMA-IR, QUICKI and ISI Matsuda in a cohort of 444 PCOS patients and 156 controls. Patients were stratified based on metabolic syndrome risk factors (ATPIII [+] and [-] groups), or BMI (overweight and lean groups). The irisin level was significantly correlated with body weight, SBP, DBP, Ferriman-Gallwey score, and levels of TSH, triglycerides, glucose and insulin in the overall population, and was elevated in ATPIII(+) and overweight PCOS patients compared to corresponding controls. By contrast, asprosin levels in PCOS, ATPIII(+), or overweight patients were similar to those of corresponding controls. This finding indicated that the regulation of irisin, but not asprosin, metabolism is abnormal in PCOS patients, and this metabolic characteristic is distinctly different from that of diabetes patients.

The need for efficient and safe therapy to improve such metabolic diseases as obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus is currently unmet. The development of dual GIPR-GLP1R coagonists that bind to either one or the other receptor (sequence-mixed dual agonists) has emerged as an innovative therapeutic strategy for obesity and type 2 diabetes. Combined activation of both receptors may act synergistically providing additive effects on glucose and body weight in comparison of GLP1 analogues alone. Preclinical studies have confirmed that GIPR-GLP1R coagonists improve several hallmarks of metabolic syndrome, such as obesity, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia. These metabolic benefits have been translated from mice to nonhuman primates and humans. Recent clinical trials have shown that coagonists induce significant benefits on body weight, fasting, and postprandial glucose levels, insulin sensitivity, and total cholesterol. Combined GIP- and GLP1R activators have the potential to become a treatment option for patients with type 2 diabetes.

Derangements in triglyceride and cholesterol metabolism (dyslipidemia) are major risk factors for the development of cardiovascular diseases in obese and type-2 diabetic (T2D) patients. An emerging class of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogues and next generation peptide dual-agonists such as GLP-1/glucagon or GLP-1/GIP could provide effective therapeutic options for T2D patients. In addition to their role in glucose and energy homeostasis, GLP-1, GIP and glucagon serve as regulators of lipid metabolism. This review summarizes the current knowledge in GLP-1, glucagon and GIP effects on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism and frames the emerging therapeutic benefits of GLP-1 analogs and GLP-1-based multiagonists as add-on treatment options for diabetes associated dyslipidemia.
