High-fat diet-induced insulin resistance rat model was assessed by euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp technique.Compared with the control group,the vaspin mRNA expression in adipose tissue was significantly decreased in insulin resistant rats induced by high-fat diet( P＜0.05 ),which was increased by metformin( P＜0.05 ).These data indicate that metformin may ameliorate insulin resistance in rats via upregulating vaspin mRNA expression.

0.05).CONCLUSION:Gatifloxacin exhibited no effect on the pharmacokinetics of doxofylline in healthy human body when the two drugs used concomitantly.

After 4 weeks old male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed with normal diet and high-fat diet for 10 weeks,the rats were treated with metformin (200 mg/kg) for 6 weeks. Insulin sensitivity was determined by hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp technique.Realtime PCR and western blot were used to measure mRNA and protein levels of chemerin in perirenal adipose tissue of rats.The results showed that the expressions of chemerin mRNA and protein were higher in high-fat diet-induced insulin resistant rats compared with rats fed with normal diet ( both P＜0.05 ),and these incremental findings were diminished by metformin treatment ( both P＜0.01 ).The levels of chemerin mRNA and protein were correlated well with the epididymis fat mass index.
