Summary: | Aims
This study aimed to investigate systematically (i) the appropriate dietary conditions to induce the features of the MetS in APOE*3Leiden.humanCholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (E3L.CETP) mice and (ii) whether the response of this model to different antidiabetic and hypolipidemic drugs is similar as in humans.
Methods
Male obese, IR and dyslipidemic E3L.CETP mice were treated with antidiabetic drugs rosiglitazone, liraglutide or an experimental 11β‐hydroxysteroid‐dehydrogenase‐1 (HSD‐1) inhibitor, or with hypolipidemic drugs atorvastatin, fenofibrate or niacin for 4–6 weeks. The effects on bw, IR and plasma and liver lipids were assessed.
Results
Rosiglitazone, liraglutide and HSD‐1 inhibitor significantly decreased glucose and insulin levels or IR. Liraglutide and HSD‐1 inhibitor also decreased bw. Atorvastatin, fenofibrate and niacin improved the dyslipidemia and fenofibrate and niacin increased high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. In addition, hepatic triglycerides were significantly decreased by treatment with rosiglitazone and liraglutide, while hepatic cholesterol esters were significantly decreased by rosiglitazone and atorvastatin.
Conclusions
We conclude that the E3L.CETP mouse is a promising novel translational model to investigate the effects of new drugs, alone or in combination, that affect IR, diabetic dyslipidemia and non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). |

Lipoprotein profiles of APOE*3Leiden.humanCholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (APOE*3Leiden.CETP) mice on a high-fat diet before (t = 16 weeks) and after (t = 20 weeks) adding 10% fructose to the drinking water and of APOE*3Leiden.CETP mice on a chow diet before (t = 0 weeks) and at the end of the experiment (age-matched control mice). The distribution of cholesterol over the individual lipoprotein profiles in pooled plasma was determined after separation of lipoprotein profiles by fast-performance liquid chromatography (FPLC).Figure S3.

The distribution of cholesterol over the individual lipoprotein profiles in pooled plasma was determined after separation of lipoprotein profiles by fast-performance liquid chromatography (FPLC).Figure S4.

Magnification: ×200. The biochemical data from analysis of hepatic lipids were confirmed by the histopathological analysis, as reflected by the clear decrease in vacuolization and hypertrophy in the rosiglitazone- and liraglutide-treated group, and to a lesser extent in the atorvastatin treated group, as compared with the control-HFD group.Table S1.
