The anti-obesity and anti-diabetic effects of CL 316, 243, a highly 3pecific β 3-adrenoceptor agonist ( β 1: β 2: β 3 = 0:1:100,000), were evaluated in obese diabetic yellow KK mice and C57Bl control mice. The study compound was fed through a gastric tube at a rate of 0.1 mg/kg/ day for 2 weeks. The following parameters were compared in the treated and control animals given distilled water : brown adipose tissue thermogenesis, resting metabolic rate, insulin receptors in adipocytes, and blood glucose and serum insulin levels during a glucose overloading test. CL 316, 243 significantly increased brown adipose tissue thermogenesis and resting metabolic rate in both yellow KK mice and C57B1 controls. Theamount of white adipose tissue decrease, although food intake was not affected. The effects contributed to the mitigation of obesity in yellow KK mice. CL 316, 243 also increase the concentration of insulin receptors and decreased the levels of serum insulin and blood glucose during the glucose overloading test in yellow KK mice. These observations suggest that CL 316, 243 possesses anti-obesity and anti-diabetic effects and consequently may be useful for treating obesity as well as non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus in obese persons, without causing excessive side effects.
