Insulin replacement is the cornerstone of type 1 diabetes (T1D) treatment; however, glycemic control remains a challenge. Leptin has been shown to effectively restore euglycemia in rodent models of T1D; however, the mechanism or mechanisms by which leptin exerts glycemic control are unclear. In this issue of the JCI, Perry and colleagues provide evidence that suppression of lipolysis is a key facet of leptin-mediated restoration of euglycemia. However, more work remains to be done to fully understand the antidiabetic mechanisms of leptin.
胰岛素替代疗法是1型糖尿病(T1D)治疗的基石;然而,血糖控制仍然是一项挑战。在T1D啮齿动物模型中,瘦素已被证明能有效恢复正常血糖水平;然而,瘦素实现血糖控制的具体机制尚不清楚。在本期《临床研究杂志》中,佩里及其同事提供了证据,表明抑制脂肪分解是瘦素介导恢复正常血糖的一个关键方面。然而,要全面了解瘦素的抗糖尿病机制,仍有更多工作要做。
