SRT1720 opposes hyperinsulinemia and the impairment in glucose tolerance introduced by high-fat feeding in mice to an extent similar to that achieved with rosiglitazone.

Comment While SREBP overexpression alone increases lipogenic gene expression and heptic lipid levels, hypertriglyceridemia does not occur, probably as a result of parallel upregulation of hepatic low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) levels. In contrast, PGC-1beta fails to stimulate LDLR expression, but does stimulate VLDL secretion, possibly via augmenting activation of LXRalpha, leading to hypertriglyceridemia and accumulation of cholesterol in VLDL, the precursor to LDL cholesterol.

Comment The observation that, in liver, TRIB3 is a target for PPAR-alpha and that knockdown of hepatic TRIB3 expression improves glucose tolerance, whereas hepatic overexpression of TRIB3 reverses the insulin-sensitive phenotype of PGC-1-deficient mice has led to the suggestion that TRIB3 inhibitors may have a potential role in the treatment of T2DM. However, chronic reduction of hepatic PGC-1alpha expression has been shown to impair hepatic insulin sensitivity.

Comment Unlike classic PPAR-gamma-target genes such as aP2 (which is constitutively associated with coactivators), the glycerol kinase gene is targeted by NR corepressors. TZDs trigger the dismissal of corepressor HDAC complexes and the recruitment of coactivators to the glycerol kinase gene. They also induce PGC-1alpha, whose recruitment to the glycerol kinase gene is sufficient to release the corepressors.
