Summary: | Common features in insulin-resistance diabetes include inflammation and liver damage due to bile acid accumulation.
This study aimed to test
pharmacological effects of combining two drugs, ursodeoxycholic acid that has bile acid regulatory effects, and probucol (PB) that has potent anti-oxidative stress effects, using a new poly(meth)acrylate nano-targeting formulation on prediabetic mice. Mice were made diabetic and were fed daily with either PB, nanoencapsulated PB or nanoencapsulated PB-ursodeoxycholic acid before blood, tissues, urine and feces were collected for inflammation and bile acid measurements. The nanoencapsulated PB-ursodeoxycholic acid formulation increased plasma IL-10, and increased the concentration of primary bile acids in the liver and heart.
Results suggest potential applications in regulating IL-10 in insulin-resistance prediabetes. |
