Definitions

  • Metabolic syndrome (MS) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) result from progressive reduction in signaling through the insulin receptor due to nutritional overload, chronic inflammation, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia.
  • a common factor of MS and T2DM is the insulin resistance that compromises cell survival, metabolism, and neuronal plasticity, and increases oxidative stress, cytokine activation and apoptosis T2DM patients typically show significantly lower overall cognitive function, suggesting a link between metabolic dysregulation and central nervous system (CNS) function.

  • these diseases are risk factors for the development of dementia and Alzheimer's disease, recently referred to as type 3 diabetes.
  • the PBK/Akt pathway downstream of insulin signaling which is reduced in MS and T2DM, is critical for neuronal survival and synaptic transmission, partially by supporting the energy-transducing capacity of mitochondria, which, in turn, modulate the PBK/Akt pathway, thereby establishing a regulatory device essential for neuronal function.

All mice were quarantined for one week prior to the initiation of treatment, food and water were available ad libitum, and they were kept on a 12 hour light/dark cycle.
  • mice were habituated for 20 minutes prior to testing. While recording with a video camera, the distal half of the tail was immersed in a 50 °C water bath. Time from immersion to tail flick was measured in milliseconds.
  • Measuring MNCVs was adapted from a previously described protocol (Yorek et al., 1993). Mice were anesthetized with 100/10 mg/kg Ketamine/Xylazine and body temperature was maintained with a heating pad. The sciatic nerve was stimulated subdermally at the sciatic notch and then at the Achilles tendon with a single 0.2 ms 8 V pulse. Recording electrodes were placed at the ipsilateral interosseous muscles. Potentials were recorded with a BioPAC MP 150 with an ECG100C module.
  • the MNCV was calculated by subtracting the proximal from the distal latency measured in milliseconds from stimulus artifact to the onset of the compound action potential, and the difference was divided by the distance between the two stimulations sites measured in millimeters with a vernier caliper. MNCV was reported in meters per second.
  • FIG. 1A these data were obtained at two weeks after initiation of once daily A(l-7) or saline administration.
  • Diabetes reduced sciatic nerve conduction in the db/db mice, which showed an approximately 40% reduction in MCNV compared to heterozygous controls, while administration of A(l-7) to db/db mice limited the reduction in MCNV such that it was virtually indistinguishable from heterozygous controls.
  • A(l-7) limited development of damage to the peripheral nerve function associated with a mouse model of overnutrition resulting in metabolic syndrome, hyperglycemia, and obesity leading to diabetes.
  • Diabetes is associated with progressive neuropathy that results in reduced sensory and motor function. Diabetic neuropathy contributes to ischemia and tissue destruction due to lack of sensation.
  • the examples presented herein demonstrate that the methods of the invention can be used, for example, to limit development of neuropathy, such as in subjects suffering from one or more of metabolic syndrome, hyperglycemia, obesity, and/or diabetes.
