| Summary | Pioglitazone is one of the thiazolidinediones (TZDs) and an insulin-sensitive drug for type 2 diabetes. In our previous study, a combination of pioglitazone and fish oil rich in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) was shown to inhibit pioglitazone-induced side effects, such as accumulation of subcutaneous fat and body weight gain. However, the effects of the discontinuation of fish oil after combination treatment with TZD and fish oil are not clear. In this study, discontinuation of fish oil for 4 weeks showed several unfavorable effects: (1) return of plasma adiponectin level, (2) reversal of the inhibition of lipogenesis and activation of fatty acid β-oxidation in liver, (3) increase in hypertrophic adipocytes in epidydimal white adipose tissue (WAT) and (4) accumulation of lipids in brown adipose tissue (BAT). However, insulin resistance was ameliorated by pioglitazone with or without fish oil treatment and the discontinuation of fish oil. These findings indicate that discontinuation of n-3 PUFA after combination therapy with TZDs adversely affects lipid metabolism and energy homeostasis in liver, epididymal WAT and BAT. |
