Previously, we reported that combination treatment with rat amylin (100 μg/kg·d) and murine leptin (500 μg/kg·d) elicited greater inhibition of food intake and greater body weight loss in diet-induced obese rats than predicted by the sum of the monotherapy conditions, a finding consistent with amylin-induced restoration of leptin responsiveness. In the present study, a 3 × 4 factorial design was used to formally test for a synergistic interaction, using lower dose ranges of amylin (0, 10, and 50 μg/kg·d) and leptin (0, 5, 25, and 125 μg/kg·d), on food intake and body weight after 4 wk continuous infusion. Response surface methodology analysis revealed significant synergistic anorexigenic (P < 0.05) and body weight-lowering (P < 0.05) effects of amylin/leptin combination treatment, with up to 15% weight loss at doses considerably lower than previously reported. Pair-feeding (PF) experiments demonstrated that reduction of food intake was the predominant mechanism for amylin/leptin-mediated weight loss. However, fat loss was 2-fold greater in amylin/leptin-treated rats than PF controls. Furthermore, amylin/leptin-mediated weight loss was not accompanied by the counterregulatory decrease in energy expenditure and chronic shift toward carbohydrate (rather than fat) utilization observed with PF. Hepatic gene expression analyses revealed that 28 d treatment with amylin/leptin (but not PF) was associated with reduced expression of genes involved in hepatic lipogenesis (Scd1 and Fasn mRNA) and increased expression of genes involved in lipid utilization (Pck1 mRNA). We conclude that amylin/leptin interact synergistically to reduce body weight and adiposity in diet-induced obese rodents through a number of anorexigenic and metabolic effects.

ABSTRACT The protease inhibitor saquinavir was administered to 100 human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected patients as a single 600-mg oral dose (hard gelatin capsules) with a standard breakfast, including 200 ml of grapefruit juice, during an open-label trial to assess whether diarrhea and/or wasting syndrome has consequences on its pharmacokinetics. Three groups of patients were enrolled: group 1, asymptomatic patients (n = 30); group 2, AIDS symptomatic patients without body weight loss or diarrhea (n = 37); and group 3, AIDS symptomatic patients with severe body weight loss and/or diarrhea (n = 33). Clinical and biological data (covariates) were collected. A population approach was performed with three blood samples per patient to estimate the mean population pharmacokinetic parameters (clearance [CL]/oral bioavailability [F], V/F, k a, and lag time) and the derived ones (k el, C max, T max, and area under the curve [AUC]). The relationships between groups, exposure (i.e., estimated individual post hoc AUCs), and covariates were explored by using multiple linear regressions. A significant increase in median AUCs (165, 349, and 705 ng · h · ml−1 for groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively [P < 0.0001]) was observed. The enhancement in saquinavir exposure could be due to the destruction of the transporters in enterocytes and/or to the enlargement of their tight junctions, allowing a paracellular crossing of saquinavir as the illness spreads. Because of grapefruit juice intake by every patient, no implication of CYP3A4 could be assessed. These results strongly suggest that, despite its low intrinsic oral bioavailability, saquinavir can be considered as a relevant treatment for HIV-1-infected patients with diarrhea and/or wasting syndrome. This must be evaluated in a long-term period.
