ABSTRACT
The combination of vanadate plus benzylamine has been reported to stimulateglucose transport in rodent adipocytes and to mimic other insulin actions in diversestudies. However, benzylamine alone activates glucose uptake in human fat cells andincreases glucose tolerance in rabbits. The aim of this work was to unravel the benzylamineantihyperglycemic action and to test whether its chronic oral administrationcould restore the defective glucose handling of mice rendered slightly obese anddiabetic by very high-fat diet (VHFD). When VHFD mice were i.p. injected withbenzylamine at 0.7 to 700 ìmol/kg before glucose tolerance test, they exhibitedreduced hyperglycemic response without alteration of insulin secretion. Whole bodyglucose turnover, as assessed by the glucose isotopic dilution technique, wasunchanged in mice perfused with benzylamine (total dose of 75 ìmol/kg). However,their in vivo glycogen synthesis rate was increased. Benzylamine appeared thereforeto directly facilitate glucose utilisation in peripheral tissues. When given chronicallyat 2000 or 4000 ìmol/kg/d in drinking water, benzylamine elicited a slightreduction of water consumption but did not change body weight or adiposity anddid not modify oxidative stress markers. Benzylamine treatment improved glucosa tolerance but failed to normalize the elevated glucose fasting plasma levels of VHFDmice. There was no influence of benzylamine ingestion on lipolytic activity, basal andinsulin-stimulated glucose uptake, and on inflammatory adipokine expression inadipocytes. The improvement of glucose tolerance and the lack of adverse effects onadipocyte metabolism, reported here in VHFD mice allow to consider orally givenbenzylamine as a potential antidiabetic strategy which deserves to be further studied in other diabetic models (AU)
