The short-acting GLP-1 receptor agonists primarily lower postprandial blood glucose levels through inhibition of gastric emptying, whereas the long-acting compounds have a stronger effect on fasting glucose levels, which is mediated predominantly through their insulinotropic and glucagonostatic actions
Evolving GLP-1 focus: from short- to long-term outcomes As employers revisit their GLP-1 strategies, the conversation is expanding beyond coverage to consider factors that determine long-term success
The reduced GSH and the oxidized one (GSSG) are the most prominent types of thiol which are widely used as indicators for evaluating the oxidative stress level
Taken together, these pooled safety analyses (119123) and CV outcome safety trials (124127), together with review of published data from numerous clinical trials (39), provide reassuring evidence that the catalytic activity of the DPP-4 molecule can be modulated to enhance the beneficial metabolic effects of its substrates (such as the incretin hormones) without adversely affecting any of the protease-independent metabolic effects discussed above, or interfering with any of its other (non-metabolic) functions
