Effects of Combination Treatment With Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV Inhibitor and Sulfonylurea on Glucose Levels in Rats [PDF]
The effects of orally administered dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitor on the glucose-lowering effect of glibenclamide are still unknown. We evaluated the effects of combination treatment with a long-lasting DPP-IV inhibitor, K579 ((S)-1-[4-methyl-

Novel Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4–Inhibiting Peptide Derived From β-Lactoglobulin [PDF]
.: Trypsin-treated β-lactoglobulin significantly decreased the glucose level after an oral glucose tolerance test using mice. We performed the present study to identify the active peptide inhibiting dipeptidyl peptidase-4 from trypsin-treated β ...

Serum and Adipose Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 in Cardiovascular Surgery Patients: Influence of Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 Inhibitors [PDF]
Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) is a novel adipokine and may be involved in the association between adipose tissue and metabolic syndrome. We investigated DPP-4 and adiponectin levels in the serum, subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), and their relationship with preoperative factors, as well as comparing the DPP-4 ...

A dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, linagliptin, attenuates cardiac dysfunction after myocardial infarction independently of DPP-4 [PDF]
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors not only improve impaired glucose tolerance in diabetes, but also have pleiotropic extra-pancreatic effects such as preconditioning effect for myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Significance of Vascular Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibition on Vascular Protection in Zucker Diabetic Fatty Rats [PDF]
.: To clarify the role of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibition in vascular tissues, we compared the effects of the poorly tissue-penetrative DPP-4 inhibitor sitagliptin to the highly tissue-penetrative DPP-4 inhibitor linagliptin in Zucker diabetic ...

Comparison of Vildagliptin and Pioglitazone in Korean Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Inadequately Controlled with Metformin [PDF]
BackgroundWe compared the efficacies of vildagliptin (50 mg twice daily) relative to pioglitazone (15 mg once daily) as an add-on treatment to metformin for reducing glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in Korean patients with type 2 diabetes ...

The effect of sitagliptin on hepatic ischemic reperfusion injury in rats
Background: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4, DPPIV, CD26, EC 3.4.14.5) was found out more than four decades ago as a serine protease that severs N-terminal dipeptides from peptide substrates. DPP-4 inhibitors have been used in many animal models of lung and
