吡格列酮对胰岛素抵抗型多囊卵巢综合征患者脂肪细胞因子的影响

目的 探讨胰岛素增敏剂吡格列酮在治疗胰岛素抵抗型多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)时脂肪细胞因子瘦素、抵抗素及脂联素的变化.方法 35例胰岛素抵抗型PCOS患者用吡格列酮治疗12周,监测治疗前、后患者的临床指标,检测治疗前、后患者血清脂肪因子、空腹血糖、胰岛素、性激素水平和血脂情况.结果 35例患者中88.5%月经和排卵功能改善,腰臀比和F-G评分与治疗前比较显著下降(P<0.05),体重指数也有下降,但差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);治疗后黄体生成素(LH)和睾酮(T)水平显著下降(P<0.01),卵泡刺激素(FSH)水平无显著变化(P>0.05);空腹血清胰岛素和胰岛素抵抗指数(HOMA-IR)较治疗前显著下降(P<0.01),空腹血糖在治疗后略有下降,但差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);治疗后总胆固醇、甘油三脂和低密度脂蛋白较前显著下降(P<0.01,P<0.05),高密度脂蛋白较前显著升高(P<0.01);瘦素和抵抗素较治疗前显著下降(P<0.05),脂联素较前显著升高(P<0.05).结论 胰岛素增敏剂吡格列酮可有效改善胰岛素抵抗型PCOS患者的临床体征、胰岛素敏感性和糖、脂代谢状况;脂肪细胞因子瘦素、抵抗素和脂联素可能参与PCOS的胰岛素抵抗(IR)的发生、发展,且吡格列酮可能通过改善血清脂肪细胞因子而发挥其治疗PCOS、改善IR的疗效.     

An experimental study of pioglitazone in treating vascular dementia

Objective To compare the therapeutic effects of different doses of pioglitazone, a kind of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) agonist, on vascular dementia and explore how pioglitazone affects cerebral ischemia. Methods Modified Pulsinelli's vessel ligation was used to establish a vascular dementia model in rats. Recognition, learning and memory were evaluated by Morris's water maze test. Immunoenzyme staining was used to determine the number of nerve cells. Immunofluorescence double-staining was used to examine the expression of PPARγ/nerve cells and PPARγ/astrocytes in different groups. Results Both in pioglitazone groups and sham-operation group, the latency was reduced significantly compared to that in control group (P<0.01). Sham-operation group had the largest number of neurons in the cortex, followed by low-dose pioglitazone group and high-dose pioglitazone group, and control group came last. Compared with control group, pioglitazone groups had more PPARγ expression in nerve cells, and the fluorescence intensity of PPARγ was stronger. Conclusion Pioglitazone can induce the expression of PPARγ in neuron endochylema and astrocyte endochylema to protect nerve cells, and then to improve spatial learning and memory function in VD rats.     

Effects of pioglitazone on serum leptin and adiponectin in polycystic ovary syndrome patients with insulin resistance

Objective To investigate the effects of pioglitazone on serum leptin and adiponectin in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients with insulin resistance (IR). Methods Thirty-five PCOS patients with IR were treated with pioglitazone 15mg/d for 12 weeks. The results of ovulation induction were observed. The changes of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting serum insulin (FINS), serum levels of leptin, adiponectin, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), testosterone (T) and blood fat were examined at the baseline and after the therapy by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and radioimmunoassay (RIA). Results After the treatment, the rate of ovulation per cycle was improved in 31 (88.5%) out of the 35 patients. After treatment, the level of serum leptin was decreased (P<0.05) while the level of serum adiponectin was increased (P<0.05). After 12 weeks'treatment, waist-to-hip ratio and F-G score were significantly decreased (P<0.05), BMI declined but without significant difference (P>0.05). The levels of LH, T, FINS, Homa-IR, total cholesterol, triglyceride and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol were significantly decreased (P<0.01, P<0.05), whereas the level of high density lipoprotein-cholesterol was significantly increased (P<0.01). No significant difference was seen in FSH and FPG following treatment (P>0.05). Conclusion Pioglitazone treatment can effectively improve PCOS with IR patients'clinical syndromes, insulin sensitivity, glucose and lipid metabolism at least partly through improving the profiles of leptin and adiponectin.
