Core Tip
Core tip: The dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors prevent the breakdown of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, but also decrease the degradation of several vasoactive peptides. Dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors have shown to have favorable effects in animal models of ischemia/reperfusion and in hypertension. Clinical studies are most under way and final results could give reliable information on cardiovascular protection. Selective inhibitors of renal sodium glucose transport 2 have been also evaluated in the prevention of cardiovascular outcomes in type 2 diabetes. However, data on cardiovascular outcomes and cardiovascular death are limited and long term studies are on-going, therefore it is premature to draw conclusions.
