The Oral Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitor Sitagliptin Increases Circulating Endothelial Progenitor Cells in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: Possible role of stromal-derived factor-1α
OBJECTIVE: Vasculoprotective endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are regulated by stromal-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) and are reduced in type 2 diabetes. Because SDF-1α is a substrate of dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 (DPP-4), we investigated whether the DPP-4 inhibitor sitagliptin modulates EPC levels in ty...
