Abstract Context: Dipeptidyl-peptidase-IV (DPP-4) inhibition increases endogenous GLP-1 activity resulting in improved glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The metabolic response may be explained in part by extra-pancreatic mechanisms. Objective: We tested the hypothesis that DPP-4 inhibition with vildagliptin elicits changes in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle metabolism. Design: Randomized, double blind, crossover study. Setting: Academic clinical research center. Patients: Twenty patients with type 2 diabetes, body mass index between 28 and 40 kg/m2. Intervention: Seven days treatment with the selective DPP-4 inhibitor vildagliptin or placebo. Standardized test meal on day seven. Main Outcome Measures: Venous DPP-4 activity, catecholamines, free fatty acids, glycerol, glucose, (pro)insulin; dialysate glucose, lactate, pyruvate, glycerol. Results: Fasting and postprandial venous insulin, glucose, glycerol, triglycerides and free fatty acid concentrations were not different with vildagliptin and with placebo. Vildagliptin augmented the postprandial increase in plasma norepinephrine. Furthermore, vildagliptine increased dialysate glycerol and lactate concentrations in adipose tissue while suppressing dialysate lactate and pyruvate concentration in skeletal muscle. The respiratory quotient increased with meal ingestion but was consistently lower with vildagliptin. Conclusions: Our study is the first to suggest that DPP-4 inhibition augments postprandial lipid mobilization and oxidation. The response may be explained by sympathetic activation rather than a direct effect on metabolic status.

Abstract We compared the individual effects of mitiglinide and glibenclamide administered in combination with the dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitor sitagliptin on plasma DPP-IV activity and blood glucose levels in rats with streptozotocin-nicotinamide-induced type 2 diabetes (STZ-NA rats). We examined the inhibitory activity of mitiglinide and glibenclamide as well as their combination with sitagliptin on plasma DPP-IV activity in STZ-NA rats. The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was used to compare effects of mitiglinide, glibenclamide, and their combination with sitagliptin on blood glucose levels in STZ-NA rats. Mitiglinide and glibenclamide did not inhibit rat DPP-IV and did not influence the inhibitory effect of sitagliptin on rat plasma DPP-IV activity. In STZ-NA rats, plasma glucose levels were stronger suppressed by a combination of mitiglinide and sitagliptin than by either drug used alone. However, no clear effect of the combination of glibenclamide and sitagliptin was observed. These results indicate that the combination of mitiglinide and sitagliptin has a lower risk of hypoglycemia in the rats with induced type 2 diabetes compared with the combination of glibenclamide and sitagliptin. The combination of mitiglinide and sitagliptin can be a promising combination for the treatment of diabetic patients.

Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) could serve as a potential biomarker in monitoring the disease progression and improvement on treatment. To investigate fasting & post prandial response of DPP-IV enzyme as indirect marker of incretin response failure after chronic treatment with metformin in type 2 diabetes. The study included twelve nondiabetic subjects, ten patients with glycosylated hemoglobin values (6-8%) and fifteen patients with glycosylated hemoglobin greater than 8 % of type-2 diabetes patients of either sex with metformin treatment above 3 years were recruited. Fasting and post prandial DPP-IV levels were calculated. HbA1c was used to assess diabetes status. DPP-IV activity (fasting) in type 2 diabetic subjects with HbA1c > 8 % was significantly higher DPP-IV (44.67 ± 2.19 U/l) than in non diabetic subjects (24.39 ± 3.97 U/l). A significant correlation between DPP-IV (fasting / post prandial) and HbA1c (r = 0.821 & r = 0.732, P< 0.01) was observed in both diabetic (HbA1c 6-8, HbA1c < 8) patients. Hyperglycemia induces significant increase in serum DPP-IV activity in fasting condition and might contribute to the reduction in active glucagon like peptide-1(GLP-1) in type 2 diabetic subjects. In normal subjects during post prandial condition, there is sudden increase followed by decrease of GLP-1 due to cleavage of GLP-1 to as substrate of DPP-IV is seen as upsurge of DPP-IV. This response was lacking in diabetic patients with high HbA1c indicates indirectly metformin failure to secrete GLP-1. High fasting level and decreased post prandial of DPP-IV may indicate drug failure in type-2 diabetes mellitus.  Key words: Type 2 diabetes; metformin; DPP-IV; HbA1c; GLP-1.DOI: 10.3329/sjps.v2i2.1698Stamford Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences Vol.2(2) 2009: 81-85

Background:The risk of psoriasis in diabetic patients has rarely been explored.Objectives:This study aimed to investigate the association between dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitors and the risk of psoriasis in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.Methods:We conducted a population-based propensity score-matched cohort study on the basis of Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database that included initiators of combination therapy with DPP4i (DPP4i plus metformin) and sulfonylurea (sulfonylurea plus metformin). Psoriasis (PSO) was identified with ≥2 diagnoses. Diabetes complications severity index (DCSI) was calculated. A total of 22721 DPP4 initiator and 227684 sulfonylurea initiator were identified. A 1:10 matched-pair cohort based on propensity score(PS) was created. PS-stratified Cox proportional hazards models compared the risk of PSO in DPP4i versus sulfonylurea initiator within 2 years, controlling for potential confounders.Results:After propensity score matching, 9962 patients with T2DM starting DPP4i combination therapy and 39848 starting sulfonylurea combination therapy were selected. The incidence rate of PSO was lower in DPP4i group (188/100000 person- years) than in sulfonylurea group (467/100000 person-years). Risks of incident psoriasis were significantly lower in the DPP4i group versus sulfonylurea with the PS-stratified HR of 0.422 (95% CI 0.273 to 0.716).Conclusion:DPP4i plus metformin was associated with a reduced risk of psoriasis than sulfonylurea plus metformin. These findings merit further investigation.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Insulin resistance occurs early in the disease process, preceding the development of type 2 diabetes. Therefore, the identification of molecules that contribute to insulin resistance and leading up to type 2 diabetes is important to elucidate the molecular pathogenesis of the disease. To this end, we characterized gene expression profiles from insulin-sensitive tissues, including adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and liver tissue of Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats, a well characterized type 2 diabetes animal model. Gene expression profiles from ZDF rats at 6 weeks (pre-diabetes), 12 weeks (diabetes), and 20 weeks (late-stage diabetes) were compared with age- and sex-matched Zucker lean control (ZLC) rats using 5000 cDNA chips. Differentially regulated genes demonstrating > 1.3-fold change at age were identified and categorized through hierarchical clustering analysis. Our results showed that while expression of lipolytic genes was elevated in adipose tissue of diabetic ZDF rats at 12 weeks of age, expression of lipogenic genes was decreased in liver but increased in skeletal muscle of 12 week old diabetic ZDF rats. These results suggest that impairment of hepatic lipogenesis accompanied with the reduced lipogenesis of adipose tissue may contribute to development of diabetes in ZDF rats by increasing lipogenesis in skeletal muscle. Moreover, expression of antioxidant defense genes was decreased in the liver of 12-week old diabetic ZDF rats as well as in the adipose tissue of ZDF rats both at 6 and 12 weeks of age. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) genes were also significantly reduced in 12 week old diabetic liver of ZDF rats. Genes involved in glucose utilization were downregulated in skeletal muscle of diabetic ZDF rats, and the hepatic gluconeogenic gene was upregulated in diabetic ZDF rats. Genes commonly expressed in all three tissue types were also observed. These profilings might provide better fundamental understanding of insulin resistance and development of type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT The AIM of the present study was to find and compare the correlations between somatotype and some anthropological parameters in Bulgarian male patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Anthropometric measurements were taken from 165 male patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. All patients were ethnic Bulgarians. They were divided into two age groups: a 40-60-year group (58 patients, mean age 52.05 ± 0.73 yrs), and a 61-80-year group (111 patients, mean age 68.02 ± 0.53 yrs). The controls were allocated into similar agematched groups. Direct anthropometric measurements were body height and weight, biepicondylar breadth of the humerus and biepicondylar breadth of the femur. Circumferential measurements were taken from the relaxed and contracted upper arm, the forearm, the waist, the hip, the thigh and the medial calf. Skin folds were measured below the inferior angle of the scapula, above the X rib, above the crista iliaca, at the abdomen, triceps brachii, forearm, thigh and the medial calf. The components of human somatotype according to the criteria of Heath-Carter, body mass index (ВМІ) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) were calculated. RESULTS: We found very strong positive correlations (РС > 0.70) between ВМI and the endomorphic and mesomorphic components of somatotype in 40-60-year-old male diabetic patients. The correlation between the endomorphic and mesomorphic components of somatotype and the anthropometric measurements characterizing the central accumulation of adipose tissue (waist circumference, hip circumference, WHR) was very strong positive (РС = 0.5-0.7). Male diabetic patients aged 61-80 years: we found a very strong positive correlation between endomorphic and mesomorphic components and ВМІ, a strong correlation between these components and the waist circumference, and a good correlation between the components and the circumferences of the waist and hip and WHR. CONCLUSIONS: In male patients with type 2 diabetes aged 40-60 years, the endomorphic and mesomorphic components of somatotype are strongly positively correlated with the parameters which characterize the total adipose tissue accumulation in the human body (ВМІ). There is a good positive correlation between the two components of somatotype and the parameters showing visceral adipose tissue accumulation (circumferences of waist, hip, thigh and WHR). In male patients with type 2 diabetes aged 61-80 years we found a strong positive correlation of the endomorphic and mesomorphic components of somatotype with BMI and a good positive correlation with the circumferences of the waist, hip, thigh and WHR.
