This study investigates the insulin sensitizer effect of carbenoxolone (CBX) and potentially involved peripheral mechanisms.Taking glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) as a marker of glucose disposal, we investigated the CBX effects on whole-body insulin 11beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11HSD1) regenerates cortisol from cortisone within adipose tissue and liver. 11HSD1 inhibitors may enhance insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes and be most efficacious in obesity when 11HSD1 is increased in subcutaneous adipose biopsies. We examined the
We have examined the metabolic effects of daily administration of carbenoxolone (CBX), a naturally occurring 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11beta-HSD1) inhibitor, in mice with high fat diet-induced insulin resistance and obesity. Eight-week-old male Swiss TO mice placed on a synthetic high
Glucocorticoids, which are well established to regulate body fat mass distribution, adipocyte lipolysis, hepatic gluconeogenesis, and hepatocyte VLDL secretion, are speculated to play a role in the pathology of metabolic syndrome. Recent focus has been on the activity of 11beta-hydroxysteroid
The characteristic feature of obesity and insulin resistance is chronic low-grade inflammation. Nod-Like Receptor Pyrin 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome plays a central role in obesity-induced insulin resistance. However, how does Carbenoxolone (CBX) play its role in ameliorating insulin resistance in
In liver and adipose tissue, 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11beta-HSD1) regenerates glucocorticoids from inactive 11-keto metabolites. Pharmacological inhibition or transgenic disruption of 11beta-HSD1 attenuates glucocorticoid action and increases insulin sensitivity. Increased
BACKGROUND
11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) regulates local glucocorticoid action in tissues by catalysing conversion of inactive glucocorticoids to active glucocorticoids. 11β-HSD1 inhibition ameliorates obesity and associated co-morbidities. Here, we tested the effect of
Carbenoxolone (CBX) is the active principle of licorice, which is used to treat psoriasis, peptic ulcers, and wound healing. However, there is no report on how CBX ameliorates hepatic lipid metabolism and inflammation in obese mice. In this study, our aim is to explore the mechanism by which CBX
1. One of the major causes of metabolic syndrome is elevated 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (11β-HSD1) in the liver and adipose tissue. High 11β-HSD1 expression contributes significantly to the diabetic phenotype in db/db mice. The purpose of the present study was to test the effect of the
Carbenoxolone is the 3-hemisuccinate of glycyrrhetinic acid, the active principal of licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra). It was reported that carbenoxolone improved glucose tolerance with increased insulin sensitivity in mice with high fat diet-induced obesity. In the present study, we elucidated the
Glucocorticoids have a major role in determining adipose tissue metabolism and distribution. 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11betaHSD1) is a NADPH-dependent enzyme highly expressed in the liver and adipose tissue. In most intact cells and tissues it functions as a reductase (to convert
11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) is considered a potential therapeutic target in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this study, we investigated the pharmacological properties of HIS-388 (N-[(1R,2s,3S,5s,7s)-5-hydroxyadamantan-2-yl]-3-(pyridin-2-yl)
Hypothalamic endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is known to be increased in obesity. Induction of ER stress on hypothalamic neurons has been reported to cause hypothalamic neuronal apoptosis and malfunction of energy balance, leading to obesity. Carbenoxolone is an 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase
The hypothalamus is the regulatory centre of both appetite and energy balance and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in the hypothalamus is involved in the pathogenesis of obesity. Recently, inhibition of 11 β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type1 (11β-HSD1) was reported to have an anti-obesity effect
11 beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11HSD1) catalyses the in vivo conversion of inactive to active glucocorticoids. It is a widespread, highly regulated enzyme which amplifies the ligand available for intracellular glucocorticoid receptors. Excessive glucocorticoid exposure causes central
