Background: Indinavir is widely used for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. It is known to cause hyperglycemia or insulin resistance and hyperlipidemia.
Aim and Objectives: To study the effect of Swertia chirata leaf extract with metformin and pioglitazone on indinavir treated rats.
Methods: Swiss albino rats were divided into five Groups of six animals each. All the groups (except control) were treated with indinavir 216 mg/kg (oral) for 15 days. Group I (control) received normal saline (oral) from day 8 to day 15, Group II received indinavir 216 mg/kg (oral), Group III received S. chirata plant extract 500 mg/kg (oral) from day 8 to day 15, Group IV received pioglitazone 4 mg/kg (oral) from day 8 to day 15, and Group V received metformin 36 mg/kg (oral) from day 8 to day 15. The biochemical parameters such as serum glucose, insulin, and lipid levels were measured on day 15. Results were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance followed by Bonferroni's multiple comparison test.
Results: Indinavir (216 mg/kg) treated rats showed a significant (p<0.05) increase in glucose and insulin levels and also altered lipid levels. This indicates indinavir produces diabetic-like state in rats. S. chirata extract (500 mg/kg) decreases glucose and insulin levels and also improves lipid levels the effect is almost similar to metformin and pioglitazone.
Conclusion: Indinavir causes elevated glucose, insulin and lipid levels, so care must be taken while prescribing indinavir for HIV patients. Treatment with S. chirata extract improved the altered glucose, insulin, and lipid profile in indinavir treated rats.
Key words: Indinavir, Insulin resistance, Diabetes dyslipidemia, Glucose intolerance.
