Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor improves insulin resistance in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes: a single-arm study, a brief report

BACKGROUND: Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor (DPP4i) is an effective medicine for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Some articles reported DPP4i improves insulin secretion and insulin resistance. However, these effects are not well established by glucose clamp test and test meal in Japanese. We inves...

Sumario:BACKGROUND: Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor (DPP4i) is an effective medicine for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Some articles reported DPP4i improves insulin secretion and insulin resistance. However, these effects are not well established by glucose clamp test and test meal in Japanese. We investigated the effect of DPP4i on insulin resistance and insulin secretion by using the glucose clamp test and meal tolerance test (MTT). METHODS: We performed a MTT, and the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp in 8 Japanese patients with T2DM. This study was a single-arm study. We measured fasting and postprandial glucose, insulin, incretins, and glucagon levels. We also measured serum adiponectin levels. RESULTS: HbA1c was significantly decreased after 3 months. The fasting and postprandial glucose levels were significantly decreased. Fasting and postprandial insulin levels were not changed. The insulin resistance derived from the glucose clamp test was significantly improved. HOMA-IR was not significantly changed. GLP-1 and GIP were significantly increased but glucagon did not change. Adiponectin was not significantly changed. CONCLUSIONS: Although the number of patients was very small, these results suggested that DPP4i treatment might improve insulin resistance without changing insulin secretion.
