Abstract Chronic low grade inflammation is closely linked to obesity-associated insulin
resistance. To examine how administration of the anti-inflammatory compound
indomethacin, a general cyclooxygenase inhibitor, affected obesity development
and insulin sensitivity, we fed obesity-prone male C57BL/6J mice a high fat/high
sucrose (HF/HS) diet or a regular diet supplemented or not with indomethacin
(±INDO) for 7 weeks. Development of obesity, insulin resistance, and glucose
intolerance was monitored, and the effect of indomethacin on glucose-stimulated
insulin secretion (GSIS) was measured in vivo and in vitro using MIN6 ß-cells.
We found that supplementation with indomethacin prevented HF/HS-induced obesity
and diet-induced changes in systemic insulin sensitivity. Thus, HF/HS+INDO-fed
mice remained insulin-sensitive. However, mice fed HF/HS+INDO exhibited
pronounced glucose intolerance. Hepatic glucose output was significantly
increased. Indomethacin had no effect on adipose tissue mass, glucose tolerance,
or GSIS when included in a regular diet. Indomethacin administration to obese
mice did not reduce adipose tissue mass, and the compensatory increase in GSIS
observed in obese mice was not affected by treatment with indomethacin. We
demonstrate that indomethacin did not inhibit GSIS per se, but activation of
GPR40 in the presence of indomethacin inhibited glucose-dependent insulin
secretion in MIN6 cells. We conclude that constitutive high hepatic glucose
output combined with impaired GSIS in response to activation of GPR40-dependent
signaling in the HF/HS+INDO-fed mice contributed to the impaired glucose
clearance during a glucose challenge and that the resulting lower levels of
plasma insulin prevented the obesogenic action of the HF/HS diet.
