Pharmacologic Agents

Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists and dipeptidyl-peptidase 4 inhibitors are medications used for managing diabetes, mimicking the metabolic effects of incretin hormones. Recent evidence suggests that these medications have antioxidative potentials in the diabetic milieu. The pathophysiology of most diabetic complications involves oxidative stress. Therefore, if incretin-based antidiabetic medications can alleviate the free radicals involved in oxidative stress, they can potentially provide further therapeutic effects against diabetic complications. However, the molecular mechanisms by which these medications protect against oxidative stress are not fully understood. In the current review, we discuss the potential molecular mechanisms behind these pharmacologic agents’ antioxidative properties.

The Stability

This article is dedicated to the problem of glycaemic durability of drugs used in treatment of type 2 diabetes. The results of studies comparing durability of glycemic control as monotherapy or in combination of metformin with different drugs: dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, sulfonylurea, inhibitors of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 are shown. The article discusses the results of original research and meta-analysis.

Glucagon Like Peptide 1

The endogenous incretins, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and Glucagon-like peptide, are peptide hormones secreted from endocrine cells in the small intestine. Glucagon-like peptide-1 stimulates insulin and suppresses glucagon secretion, delays gastric emptying, and reduces appetite and food intake, which explains the positive effect of incretin mimetics on weight. The incretins have also been shown to have a sustained improvement in glycemic control over three years. A wide range of cardiovascular benefits have also been claimed, such as lowering of blood pressure and postprandial lipids. Clinical trials with the incretin mimetic exenatide and liraglutide show reductions in fasting and postprandial glucose concentrations, and haemoglobin A1c (1–2%), associated with weight loss (2–5 kg). The most common adverse event associated with Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists is nausea, which lessens over time. Orally administered Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 inhibitors reduce hemoglobin A1c by 0·5–1·0%, with few adverse effects and no weight gain. These new classes of anti-diabetic agents also expand β-cell mass in preclinical studies. However, long-term clinical studies are still needed to determine the benefits of incretin for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
