Metabolic consequences of the alpha-glucosidase inhibitor BAY-M-1099 given to nondiabetic and diabetic rats fed a high-carbohydrate diet.
The effect of a new alpha-glucosidase inhibitor BAY-M-1099 on postprandial glucose levels in nondiabetic and diabetic rats after sucrose loading was studied. Evaluation was also made of the metabolic consequences of the addition of BAY-M-1099 to a high-carbohydrate diet consisting of equal quantities of wheat starch and sucrose (Diet A). This drug significantly reduced (p less than 0.05) postprandial glucose levels in nondiabetic and diabetic rats after sucrose loading. BAY-M-1099 led to a significant reduction in urinary glucose loss (177.8 +/- 54.2 vs 98.9 +/- 35.6 mmol/L) and in postprandial plasma glucose levels in diabetic rats fed diet A. Addition of BAY-M-1099 to the diet of nondiabetic rats significantly (p less than 0.05) decreased the postprandial plasma glucose level at 45, 90, 180, and 225 min after a meal test. Addition of BAY-M-1099 to a diet containing starch plus sucrose led to reduced glycosuria and serum glucose levels and may have potential benefit in the management of diabetes mellitus.
