title: Correction of hyperglycemia and insulin sensitivity by T-1095, an inhibitor of renal Na+-glucose cotransporters, in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
abstract: We investigated the effects of T-1095 (3-(benzo[b]furan-5-yl)-2',6'-dihydroxy-4'-methylpropiophenone 2'-O-(6-O-methoxycarbonyl)-beta-D-glucopyranoside), an orally active inhibitor of Na+-glucose cotransporter, on hyperglycemia and insulin resistance in skeletal muscle of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Chronic (4 weeks) administration of T-1095 as food admixture (0.01 -0.1% wt/wt) suppressed the blood glucose level without affecting the food intake and body weight. In addition, the reduced 2-deoxyglucose uptake and lactate release in the soleus muscle of STZ rat was ameliorated by chronic treatment of T-1095. These data suggest that T-1095 improves insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle through correction of hyperglycemia and has novel therapeutic potential for treatment of diabetes mellitus through removing glucose toxicity.
