Abstract

The adenosine (A1) receptor agonist, GR79236 (N-[(1S,trans)-2-hydroxycyclopentyl]adenosine), inhibits catecholamine-induced lipolysis in vitro, but the short-term metabolic and haemodynamic effects have not been previously reported in the fructose fed model of insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia and hypertension. This study reports the effects of GR79236 (1 mg/kg/day for 8 days) on nonesterified free fatty acid and triglyceride metabolism, oral and i.v. glucose tolerance, blood pressure and heart rate, and insulin sensitivity, in normal rats and rats fed a fructose-enriched diet. In normal rats, GR79236 significantly reduced fasting glucose (25%), free fatty acid (50%) and triglyceride (55%) concentrations, and improved glucose tolerance (AUC[glu] 21.2 +/- 1.3 vs. 16.5 +/- 1.1 mmol h/l, p < 0.05). Fructose feeding induced a state of insulin resistance and dyslipidaemia, as shown by an increase in steady-state plasma glucose levels (7.1 vs. 6.1 mmol/l), impaired i.v. glucose tolerance and a 3-fold rise in fasting triglyceride levels; fructose-fed rats also developed a significant increase in blood pressure. GR79236 ameliorated the effects of fructose feeding on fatty acid and triglyceride levels, and blood pressure, and improved i...Continue Reading
