The demonstration of leptin receptors on the pancreatic ß-cells
suggests the possibility of direct actions of leptin on insulin secretion. In
vitro studies on islets or perfused pancreas and ß-cell lines produced
inconsistent results. We performed an in vivo study to distinctly examine
whether leptin has an effect on glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Young
chronically catheterized Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 28) were subjected
to a 4-h hyperglycemic clamp study ( 11 mmol/l). At minute 120 to 240,
rats were assigned to receive either saline or leptin (0.1, 0.5, and 5 µg
· kg-1 · min) infusion. Leptin decreased plasma
insulin levels abruptly, and an approximately twofold decrease in plasma
insulin levels compared with saline control was sustained over the 2 h of the
study (14.8 ± 5.8 vs. 34.8 ± 2.6 ng/ml with leptin and saline
infusion, respectively, P < 0.001). Moreover, a dose-dependent
decrease in plasma insulin levels was noted (r = -0.731, P
< 0.01). Since milrinone, an inhibitor of cAMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) 3,
did not reverse the effect of leptin on glucose-induced insulin secretion, its
action may be independent of PDE3. These findings suggest that acute
physiological increase in plasma leptin levels acutely and significantly
inhibits glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in vivo. The site of leptin
effects on insulin secretion remains to be determined.
