Treatment with a proton pump inhibitor improves glycaemic control in Psammomys obesus, a model of type 2 diabetes

Aims/hypothesis Gastrin has been implicated in islet growth/neogenesis, and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have been shown to increase endogenous gastrin levels in animals and humans. Therefore, we investigated the effect of PPIs in a model of type 2 diabetes, Psammomys obesus. Methods P. obesus (mor...

Description
Summary:Aims/hypothesis Gastrin has been implicated in islet growth/neogenesis, and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have been shown to increase endogenous gastrin levels in animals and humans. Therefore, we investigated the effect of PPIs in a model of type 2 diabetes, Psammomys obesus. Methods P. obesus (morning blood glucose [mBG] 16.9 ± 0.6 mmol/l) were treated with vehicle or different doses (1-15 mg/kg) of lansoprazole for 17 days. Results Treatment with lansoprazole resulted in up to ninefold dose-dependent increases in endogenous gastrin levels (p
