Introduction: Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP-4 inhibitors) are incretin-based oral antidiabetic drugs. Previous studies have shown an association between increased plasma activity of DPP-4 and chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Dipeptidyl

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

The role of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors
Will be clearer once ongoing trials are complete Type 2 diabetes is a progressive disease and greater treatment intensity is needed over time to control increasingly abnormal glucose concentrations.1 In the linked article (doi:10.1136/bmj.e1369), Karagiannis and colleagues present a systematic review and meta-analysis of the risks and benefits ...

The Nonglycemic Actions of Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitors [PDF]
A cell surface serine protease, dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4), cleaves dipeptide from peptides containing proline or alanine in the N-terminal penultimate position. Two important incretin hormones, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP), enhance meal-stimulated insulin secretion from pancreaticβ-cells, but ...

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a rare autoimmune blistering disease, and the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is relatively high in subjects with BP. It is known that dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP-4i), one kind of antidiabetic drugs, can
