Procyanidin effects on an impaired glucose metabolism: a further insight into procyanidin signalling in adipose cells

Abstract

CATALÀ A un extracte de procianidines de pinyol de raïm (GSPE) se l'hi han atribuït efectes mimètics d'algun dels efectes fisiològics de la insulina, però alhora la seva acció mostra algunes divergències respecte la pròpia hormona. Aquest fet suggereix un possible interès d'aquestes procianidines en patologies vinculades amb la resistència a la insulina. Per aquest motiu, l'objectiu principal d'aquesta tesi és entendre com les procianidines de la dieta modulen el metabolisme de la glucosa, principalment a teixit adipós i sota una condició de resistència a insulina. Els resultats obtinguts mostren que 30 dies de tractament amb 25 mg GSPE/Kg PC milloren la situació de resistència a insulina provocada per una dieta de cafeteria i evidencien que el teixit adipós és una clara diana per GSPE. En cèl·lules en cultiu s'observa com GSPE activa el receptor de la insulina i proteïnes de la via de senyalització de la insulina de manera diferent a la pròpia hormona. L'estudi es completa demostrant que les estructures oligomèriques de GSPE poden reproduir els efectes fins ara atribuïts a les procianidines.

ANGLÈS A grape-seed derived procyanidins extract (GSPE) was reported to mimic some of the physiological effects of insulin. However, GSPE showed some divergences when compared to insulin action, which suggests that procyanidins could be useful on a state of impaired insulin action. Therefore, the main purpose of this thesis was to understand how dietary procyanidins modulate glucose metabolism, mainly in adipose tissue and under an insulin resistant condition.Results show that a treatment of 25 mg GSPE/Kg bw for 30 days on cafeteria-diet-fed rats has a positive effect in improving some insulin resistance parameters and that white adipose tissue is also a clear target for procyanidins. Cell culture studies showed the ability of procyanidins for activating the insulin receptor and its ability for activating proteins kinases involved in the insulin signalling pathway. The GSPE study was completed showing that oligomeric structures of GSPE can reproduce the total GSPE effects.
