Abstract: The insulin-mimic effect of vanadium compounds has been reported in both type Ⅰ and Ⅱ diabetic animal models, but the effect of vanadium compounds on lipid metabolism remains to be fully understood. We investigate the effect of V5dipic-Cl on lipid metabolism in high fat diet-induced C57BL/6J diabetic mice. V5dipic-Cl was administered daily to the mice for 28 days at dose of 5 mg/(kg·d) by oral gavages. It was found that the blood glucose level and serum TG were significantly reduced after treatment with V5dipic-Cl. It is suggested that V5dipic-Cl improves the lipid metabolism by promoting fatty acid oxidation in liver.

Key words: V5dipic-Cl, type Ⅱ diabetes, metabolic disorder, C57BL/6J, fatty acid oxidation
