Abstract
T2DM (type 2 diabetes mellitus) is a chronic and progressive illness with high morbidity and death rates. Oral semaglutide (Rybelsus®) is a combination of semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA), and sodium N- (8- [2-hydroxybenzoyl] amino) caprylate (SNAC), an absorption enhancer that facilitates semaglutide absorption across the gastric epithelium in a concentration-dependent manner. This family of drugs apart from glucose lowering effects causes significant weight loss with lower risk of hypoglycemia, and some of them have been linked to a significant reduced major adverse cardiovascular events. GLP-1 RAs may assist persons with T2DM and chronic kidney disease (CKD), a major microvascular consequence of T2DM, in ways other than lowering blood sugar. Several large clinical studies, the bulk of which are cardiovascular outcome trials, show that GLP-1 RA treatment is safe and tolerated for persons with T2DM and impaired renal function and that it may potentially have renoprotective characteristics. This article focuses on the advances of oral GLP1-RA and describes the key milestones and predicted advantages.

Elevated Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Level in the Paraventricular Hypothalamic Nucleus of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232415945. [PMID: 36555587 PMCID: PMC9781792 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232415945] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2022] [Revised: 12/12/2022] [Accepted: 12/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor (GLP-1R) agonists have been approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM); however, the brain actions of these drugs are not properly established. We used post mortem microdissected human hypothalamic samples for RT-qPCR and Western blotting. For in situ hybridization histochemistry and immunolabelling, parallel cryosections were prepared from the hypothalamus. We developed in situ hybridization probes for human GLP-1R and oxytocin. In addition, GLP-1 and oxytocin were visualized by immunohistochemistry. Radioactive in situ hybridization histochemistry revealed abundant GLP-1R labelling in the human paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (PVN), particularly in its magnocellular subdivision (PVNmc). Quantitative analysis of the mRNA signal demonstrated increased GLP-1R expression in the PVNmc in post mortem hypothalamic samples from T2DM subjects as compared to controls, while there was no difference in the expression level of GLP-1R in the other subdivisions of the PVN, the hypothalamic dorsomedial and infundibular nuclei. Our results in the PVN were confirmed by RT-qPCR. Furthermore, we demonstrated by Western blot technique that the GLP-1R protein level was also elevated in the PVN of T2DM patients. GLP-1 fibre terminals were also observed in the PVNmc closely apposing oxytocin neurons using immunohistochemistry. The data suggest that GLP-1 activates GLP-1Rs in the PVNmc and that GLP-1R is elevated in T2DM patients, which may be related to the dysregulation of feeding behaviour and glucose homeostasis in T2DM.

Abstract
The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) of stages 3-5 (glomerular filtration rate [GFR] <60 mL/min) is about 25-30 % in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). While most oral antidiabetic agents have limitations in patients with CKD, incretin-based therapies are increasingly used for the management of T2DM. This review analyses (1) the influence of CKD on the pharmacokinetics of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists; and (2) the efficacy/safety profile of these agents in clinical practice when prescribed in patients with both T2DM and CKD. Most DPP-4 inhibitors (sitagliptin, vildagliptin, saxagliptin, alogliptin) are predominantly excreted by the kidneys. Thereby, pharmacokinetic studies showed that total exposure to the drug is increased in proportion to the decline of GFR, leading to recommendations for appropriate dose reductions according to the severity of CKD. In these conditions, clinical studies reported a good efficacy and safety profile in patients with CKD. In contrast, linagliptin is eliminated by a predominantly hepatobiliary route. As a pharmacokinetic study showed only minimal influence of decreased GFR on total exposure, no dose adjustment of linagliptin is required in the case of CKD. The experience with GLP-1 receptor agonists in patients with CKD is more limited. Exenatide is eliminated by renal mechanisms and should not be given in patients with severe CKD. Liraglutide is not eliminated by the kidney, but it should be used with caution because of the limited experience in patients with CKD. Only limited pharmacokinetic data are also available for lixisenatide, exenatide long-acting release (LAR) and other once-weekly GLP-1 receptor agonists in current development. Several case reports of acute renal failure have been described with GLP-1 receptor agonists, probably triggered by dehydration resulting from gastrointestinal adverse events. However, increasing GLP-1 may also exert favourable renal effects that could contribute to reducing the risk of diabetic nephropathy. In conclusion, the already large reassuring experience with DPP-4 inhibitors in patients with CKD offers new opportunities to the clinician, whereas more caution is required with GLP-1 receptor agonists because of the limited experience in this population.

Abstract
Exenatide, administered subcutaneously twice daily (Byetta(®)), is a synthetic version of the natural peptide exendin-4, which is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist (incretin mimetic). Exenatide binds to the GLP-1 receptor with the same affinity as GLP-1, but has a much longer half-life, since it is not degraded by the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4. Exenatide twice daily enhances glucose-dependent insulin secretion, suppresses inappropriately elevated glucagon secretion, slows gastric emptying and reduces caloric intake. In well-designed clinical trials, adjunctive subcutaneous exenatide 5 or 10 μg twice daily for 16-52 weeks significantly and dose-dependently improved glycaemic control and reduced mean body weight compared with placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with oral antihyperglycaemic drugs (OADs) and/or basal insulin. The improvements in glycaemic control and reductions in body weight were stably maintained during long-term therapy (up to 3.5 years). The efficacy of adjunctive exenatide twice daily was generally similar to that of basal, prandial or biphasic insulin, sulfonylureas, rosiglitazone and lixisenatide, and less than that of liraglutide, taspoglutide or exenatide once weekly with respect to reductions in glycated haemoglobin. Exenatide twice daily was generally well tolerated; mild to moderate nausea and vomiting, which decreased with time on therapy, were the most common adverse events. In patients not receiving concomitant sulfonylureas or insulin, the incidence of hypoglycaemia was low; when it did occur, it was generally mild in severity. Thus, adjunctive exenatide twice daily is a valuable option in the treatment of type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with OADs and/or basal insulin.

Abstract
The increasing prevalence of obesity is contributing substantially to the ongoing epidemic of type 2 diabetes. Abdominal adiposity, a feature of ectopic fat syndrome, is associated with silent inflammation, abnormal hormone secretion, and various metabolic disturbances that contribute to insulin resistance and insulin secretory defects, resulting in type 2 diabetes, and induce a toxic pattern that leads to cardiovascular disease, liver pathologies, and cancer. Despite the importance of weight control strategies in the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes, long-term results from lifestyle or drug interventions are generally disappointing. Furthermore, most of the classic glucose-lowering drugs have a side-effect of weight gain, which renders the management of most overweight or obese people with type 2 diabetes even more challenging. Many anti-obesity pharmacological drugs targeting central control of appetite were withdrawn from the market because of safety concerns. The gastrointestinal lipase inhibitor orlistat was the only anti-obesity drug available until the recent US, but not European, launch of phentermine-controlled-release topiramate and lorcaserin. Improved knowledge about bodyweight regulation opens new prospects for the potential use of peptides derived from the gut or the adipose tissue. Combination therapy will probably be necessary to avoid compensatory mechanisms and potentiate initial weight loss while avoiding weight regain. New glucose-lowering treatments, especially glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, offer advantages over traditional antidiabetic drugs by promoting weight loss while improving glucose control. In this Review, we explore the overlapping pathophysiology and also how various treatments can, alone or in combination, combat the dual burden of obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Pharmacological treatment of type 2 diabetes has been enriched during recent years, with the launch of incretin therapies targeting glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Such medications comprise either GLP-1 receptor agonists, with short (one or two daily injections: exenatide, liraglutide, lixisenatide) or long duration (one injection once weekly: extended-released exenatide, albiglutide, dulaglutide, taspoglutide); or oral compounds inhibiting dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), the enzyme that inactives GLP-1, also called gliptins (sitagliptin, vildagliptin, saxagliptin, linagliptin, alogliptin). Although both pharmacological approaches target GLP-1, important differences exist concerning the mode of administration (subcutaneous injection versus oral ingestion), the efficacy (better with GLP-1 agonists), the effects on body weight and systolic blood pressure (diminution with agonists versus neutrality with gliptins), the tolerance profile (nausea and possibly vomiting with agonists) and the cost (higher with GLP-1 receptor agonists). Both agents may exert favourable cardiovascular effects. Gliptins may represent a valuable alternative to a sulfonylurea or a glitazone after failure of monotherapy with metformin while GLP-1 receptor agonists may be considered as a good alternative to insulin (especially in obese patients) after failure of a dual oral therapy. However, this scheme is probably too restrictive and modalities of using incretins are numerous, in almost all stages of type 2 diabetes. Physicians may guide the pharmacological choice based on clinical characteristics, therapeutic goals and patient's preference.

Abstract
Lixisenatide is a novel glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist developed for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In its clinical development program, once-daily lixisenatide has been associated with significant improvements in HbA1c (change from baseline to week 24: up to -0.92%) and postprandial plasma glucose (PPG; change from baseline to week 24 as add-on to basal insulin: up to -7.96 mmol/l) with beneficial weight effects (change from baseline to week 24: up to -2.0 kg as add-on to oral antidiabetic agents and -1.8 kg as add-on to basal insulin) and a low incidence of severe hypoglycemia (from 0 to 1.2% over 24 weeks). Pharmacodynamic data highlight differences between lixisenatide and other glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, demonstrating more pronounced effects on PPG than liraglutide, with less frequent dosing and a better tolerability profile than exenatide. Lixisenatide has recently been evaluated in a comprehensive Phase III clinical trial program in patients with T2DM, which included three large-scale studies of once-daily lixisenatide in combination with basal insulin. Lixisenatide has been studied as a monotherapy or oral agent combination, or with insulin. It may become a treatment option for certain patient groups in the near future, including those that are unable to reach target HbA1c goals despite treatment with basal insulin and a fairly well-controlled fasting plasma glucose, indicating that additional PPG control could be needed. This article reviews clinical data for lixisenatide to date, both as monotherapy and in combination with basal insulin, and discusses the implications of lixisenatide for the management of T2DM.

Dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitor improves the salivary gland histology of spontaneously diabetic mice. Arch Oral Biol 2012; 58:755-61.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The incretin-based therapy might be effective in patients possessing certain levels of preserved pancreatic beta-cells. However, doubts still exist regarding the efficacy of this atment in the recovery of tissues damaged by type 1 diabetes. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the treatment with MK0431 in salivary glands of spontaneously diabetic mice, focusing mainly on the possible therapeutic and hypoglycaemic effects of this dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitor in the recovery of these salivary tissues. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty mice were divided into two groups of 10 animals each: group I (NOD diabetic/untreated) and group II (NOD diabetic MK0431/treated). The group II was treated during 4 weeks with MK0431 mixed in the food. The group I was maintained in the same way without receiving, however, any treatment. Glucose levels were monitored during treatment and salivary glands samples were collected at the end of treatment for the histological examination under both transmitted and polarized light microscopy. High glucose levels were observed in untreated animals, while in animals with treatment, reduction of these levels was observed. Tissue restructuring was also observed in animals submitted to therapy with MK0431, mainly in relation to the attempt to extracellular matrix reorganization. CONCLUSIONS According to results, the treatment with this dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitor contributed to the general homeostasis of the organism and to the reestablishment of both epithelial and stromal compartments which were damaged by the hyperglycaemic condition, demonstrating that the incretin-based therapy may be an important complementary treatment for the type 1 diabetic condition.

Abstract
There is a rising worldwide prevalence of diabetes, especially type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which is one of the most challenging health problems in the 21st century. The associated complications of diabetes, such as cardiovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, stroke, diabetic neuropathy, amputations, renal failure, and blindness result in increasing disability, reduced life expectancy, and enormous health costs. T2DM is a polygenic disease characterized by multiple defects in insulin action in tissues and defects in pancreatic insulin secretion, which eventually leads to loss of pancreatic insulin-secreting cells. The treatment goals for T2DM patients are effective control of blood glucose, blood pressure, and lipids (if elevated) and, ultimately, to avert the serious complications associated with sustained tissue exposure to excessively high glucose concentrations. Prevention and control of diabetes with diet, weight control, and physical activity has been difficult. Treatment of T2DM has centered on increasing insulin levels, either by direct insulin administration or oral agents that promote insulin secretion, improving sensitivity to insulin in tissues, or reducing the rate of carbohydrate absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. This review presents comprehensive and up-to-date information on the mechanism(s) of action, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, pleiotropic effects, drug interactions, and adverse effects of the newer antidiabetic drugs, including (1) peroxisome proliferator-activated-receptor-γ agonists (thiazolidinediones, pioglitazone, and rosiglitazone); (2) the incretin, glucagon-like peptide-) receptor agonists (incretin-mimetics, exenatide. and liraglutide), (3) inhibitors of dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 (incretin enhancers, sitagliptin, and vildagliptin), (4) short-acting, nonsulfonylurea secretagogue, meglitinides (repaglinide and nateglinide), (5) amylin anlog-pramlintide, (6) α-glucosidase inhibitors (miglitol and voglibose), and (7) colesevelam (a bile acid sequestrant). In addition, information is presented on drug candidates in clinical trials, experimental compounds, and some plants used in the traditional treatment of diabetes based on experimental evidence. In the opinion of this reviewer, therapy based on orally active incretins and incretin mimetics with long duration of action that will be efficacious, preserve the β-cell number/function, and block the progression of diabetes will be highly desirable. However, major changes in lifestyle factors such as diet and, especially, exercise will also be needed if the growing burden of diabetes is to be contained.

Abstract
The potential for insulin-related weight gain in patients with type 2 diabetes presents a therapeutic dilemma and frequently leads to delays in the initiation of insulin therapy. It also poses considerable challenges when treatment is intensified. Addressing insulin-related weight gain is highly relevant to the prevention of metabolic and cardiovascular consequences in this high-risk population with type 2 diabetes. In addition to lifestyle changes (eg, diet and exercise) and available medical interventions to minimize the risk of weight gain with insulin treatment, familiarity with the weight gain patterns of different insulins may help deal with this problem. The use of basal insulin analogs may offer advantages over conventional human insulin preparations in terms of more physiologic time-action profiles, reduced risk of hypoglycemia, and reduced weight gain.

Abstract
Background Incretin glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a hormone released from cells in the gastrointestinal tract (GI), leading to glucose-dependent insulin release from the pancreas. It also suppresses postprandial hyperglycemia, glucagon secretion and slows gastric emptying. Exenatide (EXE), a functional analog of human GLP-1, was approved by the US FDA in April 2005. Objective This article reviews current primary literature on the clinical efficacy and safety of EXE in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and describes the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, dosing and administration of EXE. Methods English-language articles were identified through a search of MEDLINE (1966 to March 2009), International Pharmaceutical Abstracts (1970 to present), and Cochrane Database of Systemic Reviews (1995 to March 2009). Search terms included EXE, diabetes mellitus, postprandial hyperglycemia, gastric emptying, glucagon, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Articles were selected for review if their designs were randomized, blinded and of controlled design that focused on clinical outcomes of patients with type 2 DM. Results EXE is administered subcutaneously in the thigh, abdomen or upper arm within the 60-minute period before the morning and evening meals. Its Cmax is reached within 2.1 hours, and its T1/2 in 2.4 hours. EXE’s metabolism is primarily through the kidneys. For the patients who received EXE 10 μg SC BID in three, 30-week, placebo-controlled studies with background sulfonylureas (SUs), metformin (MET), or SU + MET, there were significant reductions in HbA1c (0.77 to 0.86%), fasting plasma glucose (0.6 mmol/L) and body weight (1.6 to 2.8 kg) (P ≤ 0.05 vs PCB) that were sustained in patients who completed two open-label phase trials with an additional 52 weeks of therapy. The use of thiazolidinediones was associated with a slight advantage over EXE in improving HbA1c along with increased weight gain; those who received EXE lost weight, but experienced more GI adverse effects. Patients who received EXE lost significant body weight while patients who received insulin gained weight. Patients receiving insulin had lower fasting, prelunch and predinner glucose excursions while patients in the EXE groups had lower postprandial glucose levels. Nausea was most frequently (>20%) reported in patients receiving the highest dose of EXE (10 μg SC BID vs 5 μg SC BID). Conclusions EXE at the dose of 10 μg SC BID has been proven to decrease HbAlc by 1.3% ± 0.1% and decrease body weight by up to 5.3 ± 0.8 kg at week 82. Nausea was the most frequently reported adverse event (>20%) especially in patients being treated with EXE 10 μg SC BID. EXE can be safely added to MET therapy, SU therapy or MET + SU combination to effectively target glycemic goals in patients with type 2 DM. Long-term, head-to-head studies assessing the effect of the EXE ± oral agents/insulins in patients with HbAlc ≥ 10% are still needed to fully clarify the role of EXE in poorly controlled patients with type 2 DM.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus has become an enormous and worldwide healthcare problem that is almost certain to worsen. Current therapies, which address glycemia and insulin resistance, have not adequately addressed the complications and treatment failures associated with this disease. New treatments based on the incretin hormones provide a novel approach to address some components of the complex pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this review is to elucidate the science of the incretin hormones and describe the incretin effect and its regulatory role in beta-cell function, insulin secretion, and glucose metabolism. The key endogenous hormones of incretin system are glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1); a key enzymatic regulator of these hormones is dipeptidyl peptidase-4, which rapidly inactivates/degrades the incretin hormones. The roles of the incretin hormones in the regulation of glucose metabolism and other related physiologic processes such as gut motility and food intake are disturbed in type 2 diabetes. These disturbances--defects in the incretin system--contribute to the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes in manifold ways. Consequently, therapies designed to address impairments to the effects of the incretin hormones have the potential to improve glucose regulation and other abnormalities (e.g., weight gain, loss of beta-cell function) associated with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes is a progressive chronic disease resulting from a dynamic interaction between defects in insulin secretion and insulin action. New molecules have recently been launched and many others are under clinical investigation. Besides classical sulfonylureas and glinides, new insulin secretagogues are now available, which target the incretin gut hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Indeed, oral incretin enhancers acting as antagonists of the enzyme DPP-4 (dipeptidylpeptidase-4), which inactivates natural GLP-1,and injectable incretin mimetics (exenatide) or analogues (liraglutide), which reproduce the actions of GLP-1 while resisting to DPP-4, represent new opportunities to stimulate insulin secretion, without increasing the risk of hypoglycaemia and weight gain. Among insulin sensitizers, metformin remains unequivocally the first drug of choice for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, whereas promising drugs as thiazolidinediones (glitazones) were recently challenged because of various safety issues. When insulin is required, insulin analogues, both short-acting and basal ones, may offer some advantages regarding better control of postprandial hyperglycaemia, reduced risk of hypoglycaemia and/or lower weight gain in patients with type 2 diabetes. Emphasis should be put on early detection and intensive management of type 2 diabetes, individualized glucose lowering treatments and goals, stepwise pharmacological strategy avoiding therapeutic inertia, and multiple cardiovascular risk--targeted approach.
