Abstract

Obesity is a growing public health crisis across the world and has been recognized as an underlying risk factor for metabolic syndrome. Growing evidence demonstrates the critical role of oxidative stress in the pathophysiological mechanisms of obesity and related metabolic dysfunction. As we have established previously that Na/K-ATPase can amplify oxidative stress signaling, we aimed to explore the effect of inhibition of this pathway on obesity phenotype using the peptide antagonist, pNaKtide. The experiments performed in murine preadipocytes showed the dose-dependent effect of pNaKtide in attenuating oxidant stress and lipid accumulation. Furthermore, these findings were confirmed in C57Bl6 mice fed a high-fat diet. Interestingly, pNaKtide could significantly reduce body weight, ameliorate systemic oxidative and inflammatory milieu and improve insulin sensitivity in obese mice. Hence the study demonstrates the therapeutic utility of pNaKtide as an inhibitor of Na/K-ATPase oxidant amplification signaling to alleviate obesity and associated comorbidities.
