OBJECTIVE-We examined whether chronic administration of a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist exendin-4 (Ex-4), a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonist D-Ala(2)-GIP (DA-GIP), or a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor (DPP-4i) des-fluoro-sitagliptin produced comparable antidiabetic actions in high fat-fed mice.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-High fat-fed mice were administered twice-daily injections of Ex4, DA-GIP, vehicle (saline), or vehicle with the addition of des-fluoro-sitagliptin (DPP4i) in food to produce sustained inhibition of DPP4 activity.RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS-Mice treated with vehicle alone or DA-GIP exhibited progressive weight gain, whereas treatment with Ex-4 or DPP4i prevented weight gain. Although Ex4 improved oral glucose tolerance and insulin-to-glucose ratios after an intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT), DPP-4i had no significant effect after IPGTT but improved glucose excursion and insulin levels after an oral glucose tolerance test. The extent of improvement in glycemic control was more sustained with continuous DPP4 inhibition, as evidenced by loss of glucose control evident 9 h after peptide administration and a significant reduction in A1C observed with DPP4i but not with DA-GIP or Ex-4 therapy. DA-GIP, but not Ex4 or DPP-4i, was associated with impairment in insulin sensitivity and increased levels of plasma leptin and resistin. Although none of the therapies increased P-cell mass, only Ex-l-treated mice exhibited increased pancreatic mRNA transcripts for Irs2, Egfr, and Gck. These findings highlight significant differences between pharmacological administration of incretin receptor agonists and potentiation of endogenous GLP-1 and GIP via DPP4 inhibition.
