Comparative effectiveness of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors and human glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue as add-on therapies to sulphonylurea among diabetes patients in the Asia-Pacific region: a systematic review [PDF]
The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is rising globally, and it induces a substantial public health burden to the healthcare systems. Its optimal control is one of the most significant challenges faced by physicians and policy-makers.

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 ...

Impact of sitagliptin on endometrial mesenchymal stem-like progenitor cells : a randomised, double-blind placebo-controlled feasibility trial [PDF]
Background: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is associated with the loss of endometrial mesenchymal stem-like progenitor cells (eMSC). DPP4 inhibitors may increase homing and engraftment of bone marrow-derived cells to sites of tissue injury.

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 purification and characterisation of novel dipeptidyl peptidase IV-like activity from bovine serum [PDF]
The discovery of a potentially novel proline-specific peptidase from bovine serum is presented which is capable of cleaving the dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPIV) substrate Gly-Pro-MCA.

Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor-related renal disease
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors are widely used to treat type 2 diabetes (T2D). Lowering blood glucose is expected also to reduce the progression of diabetic nephropathy. We experienced a patient with T2D who achieved good glycemic control with a DPP-4 inhibitor but experienced rapid deterioration of renal function.
