The concentration of bacterial plasmalogen 18a and endotoxin in the blood of elderly people 45-90 years old with the pathology of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM 2) - the main group and without diabetes mellitus - the comparison group was investigated. The concentration of both plasmalogen 18a and endotoxin in the blood of individuals with DM 2 pathology is statistically significantly higher than in the blood of individuals without DM 2 pathology. To assess the state of microbiocenosis and predict type 2 diabetes mellitus, decisive rules have been determined in the form of threshold values of plasma concentrations 18a and endotoxin in the blood of elderly people with a suspected or established diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. Using ROC analysis, it was found that values above 20.66 μg / ml for plasmalogen 18a, and 0.48 nmol / ml for endotoxin, determine the presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus pathology in the 45-90 age group.

Background: DPP-4 is widely distributed in endothelial cells, pancreas, uterus, liver, salivary glands, lymph node, spleen, and thymus. DPP-4 regulates glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1, and glucose-dependent insulin tropic peptide (GIP) which leads to glucose homeostasis via enhancing insulin secretion and suppression of glucagon, which results in control of post-prandial and fasting hyperglycemia.Methods: These 40 patients who were enrolled as per the inclusion criteria of receiving metformin dosage of 2 gram per day in established type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with no comorbidities. these patients were divided randomly into two groups comprising of 20 patients each, group A received linagliptin 5 mg per day in addition to metformin 1gm twice daily whereas group B received linagliptin 5 mg per day in a fixed dose (Linagliptin + metformin) of 2.5/1000 twice daily.Results: In the present observational study, the mean age in group A was 46.7±9.4 compared to 51.65±9.9 in group B, p >0.05, mean BMI in group A was 27.8±1.1 compared to 27.28±0.93 in group B p >0.05, Mean FBS in group A was 157.9±24.1 compared to 146.2±21.8 in group B p >0.05, Mean PPBS in group A was 245.8±32.7 compared to 246.2±39.3 in group B p >0.05 and Mean HbA1c in group A was 7.67±0.58 compared to 7.6±0.5 in group B p >0.05. Group A patients were initiated on once daily linagliptin, there was a significant reduction in FBS, PPBS and HbA1c at the end of 6 months p <0.001. Similarly, Group B patients who were initiated on twice daily linagliptin also showed a significant reduction in FBS, PPBS and HbA1c at the end of 6 months p <0.001.Conclusions: The addition of linagliptin to metformin treatment was effective and well tolerated in patients with type 2 diabetes. Linagliptin add-on to metformin during the early course of treatment helps in delaying the exhaustion of pancreatic islet function. Plasma concentrations of linagliptin decline in at least a biphasic manner with a long terminal half-life (>100 hours), related to the saturable binding of linagliptin to DPP-4. The prolonged elimination phase does not contribute to the accumulation of the drug. Addition of linagliptin to metformin has shown a significant reduction in FBS, PPBS and HbA1c.
