Sitagliptin Results in a Decrease of Truncated Apolipoprotein C1
نویسندگان
چکیده
UNLABELLED Apolipoprotein C1 (ApoC1) is a component of multiple lipoproteins where it performs a variety of roles in lipid metabolism and transport. ApoC1 exists as both full-length and truncated isoforms. Truncation of ApoC1 has been postulated to result from the action of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), the target of a new class of diabetes drugs that includes sitagliptin phosphate. In this study, we sought to determine if oral administration of sitagliptin altered the proportion of ApoC1 isoforms circulating in humans. Results indicated a dramatic change in ApoC1 truncation, consistent with a high level of DPP-4 inhibition by sitagliptin. FUNDING University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA.

Objective: Obesity is a factor in the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Obesity contributes a wide variety of metabolic changes such as insulin resistance. The insulin signal mechanism to intra-cells occurs in insulin resistance, primarily in adipose tissue cells, which can be appropriate targets for therapeutic approaches by recognizing the proteins in this pathway. The st...

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an inflammatory disease with alterations in immune system. Remarkably, cytokine imbalance plays an important role in pathogenesis of T2DM. The purpose of this study was to determine the serum levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-10 and the effects of sitagliptin on the level of these cytokines in patients with T2DM. Materials and Methods: Blood samples ...

The goal of this study was to investigate the possible protective effects of sitagliptin against dyslipidemia-related kidney injury in apolipoprotein E knockout (apoE-/-) mice. Eight-week-old male apoE-/- mice were randomized to receive either a high fat diet (HFD, apoE-/- group) or HFD mixed with sitagliptin (sita + apoE-/- group) for 16 weeks. A control group of age- and gender-matched C57BL/...
