Metabolic and Cardiovascular Effects of Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 (DPP-4) or Sodium-glucose Co-transporter Type 2 (SGLT2) Inhibitors

August 18, 2015 updated by: Nobuhiro Tahara, Kurume University

Effects of the DPP-4 or SGLT2 Inhibitors on the Metabolic Cardiovascular Systems in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) or sodium-glucose co-transporter type 2 (SGLT2) has been proposed as a therapeutic target for type 2 diabetes. However, how DPP-4 inhibitors or SGLT2 inhibitors exert protective actions for diabetic complications in addition to their glucose-lowering effects remains unknown.
