Leptin may reduce pancreatic lipid deposition, which increases with progression of obesity and can impair beta-cell function. The insulinotropic effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and the efficacy of GLP-1 receptor agonist are reduced associated with impaired beta-cell function. In this study, we examined whether leptin could restore the efficacy of exenatide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, in type 2 diabetes with increased adiposity. We chronically administered leptin (500 mu g.kg(-1).day(-1)) and/or exenatide (20 mu g.kg(-1).day(-1))for 2 wk in a mouse model of type 2 diabetes with increased adiposity induced by streptozotocin and high-fat diet (STZ/HFD mice). The STZ/HFD mice exhibited hyperglycemia, overweight, increased pancreatic triglyceride level, and reduced glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS); moreover, the insulinotropic effect of exenatide was reduced. However, leptin significantly reduced pancreatic triglyceride level, and adding leptin to exenatide (LEP/EX) remarkably enhanced GSIS. These results suggested that the leptin treatment restored the insulinotropic effect of exenatide in the mice. In addition, LEP/EX reduced food intake, body weight, and triglyceride levels in the skeletal muscle and liver, and corrected hyperglycemia to a greater extent than either monotherapy. The pair-feeding experiment indicated that the marked reduction of pancreatic triglyceride level and enhancement of GSIS by LEP/EX occurred via mechanisms other than calorie restriction. These results suggest that leptin treatment may restore the insulinotropic effect of exenatide associated with the reduction of pancreatic lipid deposition in type 2 diabetes with increased adiposity. Combination therapy with leptin and exenatide could be an effective treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes with increased adiposity.
