Linagliptin does not augment Y2R receptor agonist-induced food intake inhibition and weight loss in DIO mice. Linagliptin (3 mg/kg, SC) and long-acting Y2 receptor agonist (PYY analogue, 3 or 30 nmol/kg, SC) was administered once daily for 14 days followed by 6 days of wash-out (no treatment) before study termination. (A) Absolute body weight. (B) Body weight change (relative to day 0). (C) Daily food intake. (D) Cumulative food intake. Horizontal lines denote significant change in body weight compared to vehicle control (p < 0.05, two-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post-hoc test). Compared to Y2R receptor agonist monotreatment, combined linagliptin and Y2R receptor agonist administration did not promote further changes in body weight and daily food intake (p > 0.05, two-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post-hoc test). Compensatory overeating was observed following treatment cessation.
