These results showed the DPP4 gene as a strong determinant of post-OGTT levels via glucose-sensing mechanisms that are abrogated in prediabetes (Diabetologia)

Trends in diabetes medication use in Australia, Canada, England, and Scotland: a repeated cross-sectional analysis in primary care
New drugs are displacing SUs. However, despite evidence of better outcomes, the adoption of SGLT2s lagged behind DPP4s (British Journal of General Practice)
Lower cardiorenal risk with sodium‐glucose cotransporter‐2 inhibitors versus dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes without cardiovascular and renal disease
In this multinational observational study, SGLT2i was associated with a lower risk of HF and CKD versus DPP4i in patients with type 2 diabetes otherwise free from both cardiovascular and renal disease (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Real-world adherence, persistence, and in-class switching during use of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors
Adherence to and persistence with DPP4 inhibitors is suboptimal but similar across all medications within the class. While in-class switching is uncommon, saxagliptin and alogliptin are the DPP4 inhibitors most commonly switched (Acta Diabetologica)
Effect of dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 inhibitors on complement activation
All the 7 DPP‐4 inhibitors tested in the study directly inhibited functional activity of the lectin pathway in a dose‐dependent manner with varying potency in vitro. In vivo, MBL, sMAC, and C4b declined significantly during follow‐up in both groups without significant effect of sitagliptin (Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews)
Persistent whole day meal effects of three dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 inhibitors on glycemia and hormonal responses in metformin‐treated type 2 diabetes
DPP‐4 inhibition has persistent daytime effects on glucose, islet and incretin hormones with no difference between three different DPP‐4 inhibitors (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
The future of new drugs for diabetes management
The future of the newer classes of glucose-lowering drugs, namely dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and sodium/glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, is being redefined by the large prospective cardiovascular outcome trials (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
Differential Effects of Thiazolidinediones and Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitors on Insulin Resistance and β-Cell Function in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
TZD users showed significantly better insulin sensitivity, whereas DPP-4 inhibitor users secreted more insulin from β-cells under similar glycemic control (Diabetes Therapy)
Association of Bullous Pemphigoid With Dipeptidyl-Peptidase 4 Inhibitors in Patients With Diabetes
Discontinuation of treatment with DPP-4 inhibitor should be considered for patients with diabetes when BP is diagnosed; the recently increased use of DPP-4 inhibitors may explain in part the increasing incidence of BP (JAMA Dermatology)
Double‐blind, randomized clinical trial comparing the efficacy and safety of continuing or discontinuing the dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 inhibitor sitagliptin when initiating insulin glargine therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes: The CompoSIT‐I Study
When initiating insulin glargine therapy, continuation of sitagliptin, compared with discontinuation, resulted in a clinically meaningful greater reduction in HbA1c without an increase in hypoglycemia (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Time trends and geographical variation in prescribing of drugs for diabetes in England from 1998 to 2017
In England there is extensive geographical variation in the prescribing of diabetes drugs after metformin, and increasing use of higher‐cost DPP‐4 inhibitors and SGLT‐2 inhibitors compared with low‐cost sulphonylureas. Our findings strongly support the case for comparative effectiveness trials of current diabetes drugs (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Factors Influencing the Prescribing Preferences of Physicians for Drug-Naive Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in the Real-World Setting in Japan: Insight from a Web Survey
In Japan, DPP-4is are the preferred first-line OADs, followed by metformin. The key treatment factors and patient characteristics considered when selecting DPP-4is or metformin are similar for both specialists and nonspecialists. These results may prompt further discussion of the differences in T2DM treatment between Japan and other counties (Diabetes Therapy)
Association Between Use of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors, Glucagon-like Peptide 1 Agonists, and Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 Inhibitors With All-Cause Mortality in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
In patients with type 2 diabetes, the use of SGLT-2 inhibitors or GLP-1 agonists was associated with better mortality outcomes than DPP-4 inhibitors (JAMA)
Contrasting effects on the risk of macrovascular and microvascular events associated with anti-hyperglycaemic drugs that enhance sodium excretion and lower blood pressure
Three classes of anti-hyperglycaemic medications are distinguished by their urinary sodium excretion-enhancing and blood pressure-lowering actions: long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors and sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (Diabetic Medicine)
High circulating plasma dipeptidyl peptidase- 4 levels in non-obese Asian Indians with type 2 diabetes correlate with fasting insulin and LDL-C levels, triceps skinfolds, total intra-abdominal adipose tissue volume and presence of diabetes: a case–control study
Non-obese Asian Indian patients with T2DM and on metformin therapy have significantly higher circulating plasma DPP4 levels as compared to non-obese non-diabetic controls, and these levels correlate with fasting insulin and LDL-C levels, upper limb subcutaneous adipose tissue, intra-abdominal adiposity and presence of diabetes (BMJ)
Heart failure hospitalization risk associated with use of two classes of oral antidiabetic medications: an observational, real-world analysis
In this real-life analysis, the rate of hospitalizations for heart failure was significantly lower for patients initiating an SGLT2 compared with a DPP4 medication, specifically among older patients and those with diabetes complication (Cardiovascular Diabetology)
Novel oral glucose-lowering drugs compared to insulin are associated with lower risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular events and severe hypoglycemia in type 2 diabetes patients
Novel oral GLDs, compared to insulin, were associated with lower risk of all-cause mortality, CVD and severe hypoglycemia. Dapagliflozin was associated with lower risk of both all-cause mortality and CVD, whereas DPP-4i was only associated with lower risk of all-cause mortality (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Dipeptidyl peptidase −4 activity is associated with urine albumin excretion in type 1 diabetes
Our results indicate that serum DPP-4 activity is associated with albuminuria in type 1 diabetes. This arises the question whether the use of DPP-4 inhibitors might serve as an additional therapeutic strategy to prevent proteinuria in patients with DKD (Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications)
Reduction of serum concentration of FABP4 by sitagliptin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Sitagliptin decreases serum FABP4 level, at least in part, via reduction in the expression and consecutive secretion of FABP4 in adipocytes by direct inhibition of DPP-4
Postprandial incretin and islet hormone responses and dipeptidyl-peptidase 4 enzymatic activity in patients with maturity onset diabetes of the young
The pathophysiology of HNF1A-diabetes includes exaggerated postprandial glucagon responses and increased fasting DPP-4 enzymatic activity, but normal postprandial incretin responses in both patients with GCK-diabetes and HNF1A-diabetes (European Journal of Endocrinology)
