Kuo CS, Chen HS. β-cell function and long-term glycemic control in patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes with moderate hyperglycemia after a 6-month course of basal insulin therapy. Diabetes Res Clin Pract 2024; 215:111814. [PMID: 39127303 DOI: 10.1016/j.diabres.2024.111814] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2024] [Revised: 08/02/2024] [Accepted: 08/05/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
AIMS To evaluate whether treatment with insulin is advantageous compared with oral anti-diabetic drugs (OAD) for patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes with moderate hyperglycemia. METHODS Patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes with moderate hyperglycemia were recruited and randomized to receive insulin, metformin or sitagliptin treatment. The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed before treatment and 6 months thereafter. The primary outcome was the glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) level change. For the secondary efficacy analysis, the β-cell function and insulin sensitivity were calculated from the OGTT, as was the proportion of subjects who reached the treatment target (HbA1c level < 7.0 % or < 6.5 %) at 6 months. RESULTS We randomized 50 patients to the three groups and 32 patients who received the allocated treatment were analyzed. The change of HbA1c level in the insulin, metformin, and sitagliptin groups was - 2.06 ± 1.37 %, -0.43 ± 0.32 %, and - 1.62 ± 0.92 %, respectively. This change was smallest in the metformin group. There was no significant difference in the changes or final HbA1c levels between the insulin and sitagliptin groups. The treat-to-target (HbA1c level < 7.0 %) rates in the insulin, metformin and sitagliptin were 75 %, 50 % and 100 %, respectively. The treat-to-target rates were not significantly different among the three groups. The insulin secretion indices, including the Matsuda index and HOMA-IR, indicated that the groups did not differ after 6 months of therapy. CONCLUSION A 6-month course of basal insulin therapy did not benefit patients newly diagnosed with diabetes with moderate hyperglycemia in terms of insulin sensitivity or insulin secretion.

Comput Biol Med 2024; 180:108987. [PMID: 39116715 DOI: 10.1016/j.compbiomed.2024.108987] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2024] [Revised: 07/25/2024] [Accepted: 08/02/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024]
Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) has been linked with female infertility (FI). Nevertheless, our understanding of the molecular hallmarks and underlying mechanisms remains elusive. This research article aimed to find the hub genes, pathways, transcription factors, and miRNA involved. For this study, softwares like cytoscape, string, Enrichr, FFL loop, etc., were utilized. This research article employed differentially expressed genes (DEGs) to identify multiple biological targets to understand the association between T2D and female infertility (FI). Between T2D and FI, we found 3869 differentially expressed genes. We have also analyzed different pathways like thyroid hormone signaling pathways, AGE-RAGE signaling pathways in diabetic complications and ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis through pathway analysis. Moreover, hub genes MED17, PRKCG, THRA, FOXO1, NCOA2, PLCG2, COL1A1, CXCL8, PRPF19, ANAPC5, UBE2I, XIAP and KEAP1 have been identified. Additionally, these hub genes were subjected to identify the miRNA-mRNA regulation network specific to T2D-associated female infertility. In the FFL study (Feed Forward Loop), transcription factor (SP1, NFKB1, RELA and FOX01), miRNA (has-mir-7-5p, has-let-7a-5p, hsa-mir-16-5p, hsa-mir-155-5p, has-mir-122-5p, has-let-7b-5p, has-mir-124-3p, has-mir-34a-5p, has-mir-130a-3p, has-let-7i-5p, and hsa-mir-27a-3p) and six genes (XIAP, THRA, NCOA2, MED17, FOXO1, and COL1A1) among the thirteen key genes were recognized as regulator and inhibitor. Our analysis reveals that these genes can serve as a significant biomarker for female infertility linked with Type 2 Diabetes, through the prioritization of candidate genes. This study gives us insight into the molecular and cellular mechanism of T2D-associated FI. This finding helps in developing novel therapeutic approaches and will improve efficacy and reduce side effects of the treatment. This research requires further experimental investigation of the principal targets.

Baum HBA. Approach to the Patient With Type 2 Diabetes Requiring Add-On Medication. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2024; 109:e1506-e1512.

Abstract
In the last 20 years, the number of approved agents and agent classes for management of type 2 diabetes has expanded significantly. This more robust armamentarium affords us the opportunity to utilize drugs with complementary modes of action to address progressive hyperglycemia as insulin secretion declines over time. Furthermore, some of these agents provide additional benefits, such as weight loss, prevention of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), and protection against declining renal function. This dramatic increase of treatment options has led to complex published treatment advice which may be challenging for the busy clinician. A critical element in medication selection is awareness of the hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)-lowering potency of the agent being considered, and the distance of the patient's HbA1c level from the individualized goal. Other important factors in choosing medication as diabetes progresses include the recognition that there is a diminishing return of glucose-lowering efficacy as add-on agents are introduced, and that the extent of benefit for cardiac and renal protection is not fully understood. In addition, the availability of newer non-insulin agents may distract the clinician from utilizing insulin, the most potent agent available. The goal of this article is to provide a straightforward approach to add-on medication in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, recognizing the limits of polypharmacy and the importance of employing agents best suited to achieving treatment targets. Proposed is a practical tool which provides stepwise guidance, utilizing available data on medication efficacy, while allowing flexibility based on clinician and patient preference.

The effect of whole-body vibration on glucose and lipid profiles in type-2 diabetes: a systematic review and pairwise and network meta-analyses of randomized trials. Sci Rep 2024; 14:12494. [PMID: 38822020 PMCID: PMC11143234 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-63316-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Whole-body vibration (WBV), a training method based on the stimulation of muscle contraction by mechanical vibration generated in a vibrating platform, is claimed to be effective in diabetes management. This meta-analysis evaluated WBV effects against other exercises, placebo, or no intervention in type-2 diabetes. Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were systematically searched through June 2023. Randomized controlled trials reported the effect of WBV on glucose (hemoglobin A1C and fasting blood glucose), and lipid profiles (total cholesterol, triglycerides, high, and low-density lipoprotein) were included. Two researchers independently extracted the characteristics of the studies, participants, WBV intervention and comparisons, and the outcomes from the included articles. The Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale assessed trial quality. In this review, all articles had no high risk of bias according to the PEDro scale, with studies achieving optimal, excellent, and good scores. Network meta-analysis revealed that WBV was effective for reducing hemoglobin A1C when compared with conventional (mean difference: - 1.58%, 95%CrI: - 2.51, - 0.47) and resistance exercise (mean difference: - 1.32%, 95%CrI: - 1.96, - 0.33). WBV had also a desirable but insignificant effect on hemoglobin A1C compared to stretching and balance exercises, placebo, and no intervention. The current pairwise meta-analysis did not show that WBV favors fasting blood glucose and lipids. WBV may have potential advantages for glycemic control in type-2 diabetes. However, uncertainties in the findings remain due to the limited number of studies and their heterogeneity.

Abstract
Metformin is a highly effective medication for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus. Recent studies have shown that it has significant therapeutic benefits in various organ systems, particularly the liver. Although the effects of metformin on metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis are still being debated, it has positive effects on cirrhosis and anti-tumoral properties, which can help prevent the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. Furthermore, it has been proven to improve insulin resistance and dyslipidaemia, commonly associated with liver diseases. While more studies are needed to fully determine the safety and effectiveness of metformin use in liver diseases, the results are highly promising. Indeed, metformin has a terrific potential for extending its full therapeutic properties beyond its traditional use in managing diabetes.

Abstract
Diabesity is showing rising prevalence. Current treatment modalities include pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches, yet associated with various drawbacks. Recently, gut microbial dysbiosis is documented as a crucial factor in the pathogenesis of diabesity. Targeting gut microbiome using modulators shows promising therapeutic strategy for diabesity management. In this line, nanonutraceuticals represent new class of gut microbial modulators. The present article explores the potential of nanonutraceuticals including nanoprobiotics, nanoprebiotics, and plant-derived nanovesicles that are fabricated on the ecofriendly food based scaffold with gut microbial modulatory potential for diabesity management. A number of compelling evidences from different studies support Bifidobacterium, Enterococcus, and Bacteroides genera and Lactobacillus plantarum and Akkermansia muciniphila species significant in diabesity management. The probable mechanisms reported for gut microbial dysbiosis-induced diabesity are mentioned. The review findings suggest gut microbiome as significant therapeutic target for diabesity management. Moreover, ecofriendly nanonutraceuticals developed using natural products including food-grade materials are efficient modulators of gut microbiome and indicate next-generation diabesity therapeutics. Clinical studies are imperative as further exploration may provide new dimensions to the future research.

A Systematic Review of Cost-Effectiveness Studies of Newer Non-Insulin Antidiabetic Drugs: Trends in Decision-Analytical Models for Modelling of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

[PMID: 37410277 PMCID: PMC10570198 DOI: 10.1007/s40273-023-01268-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 03/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We performed a systematic overview of the cost-effectiveness analyses (CEAs) comparing Non-insulin antidiabetic drugs (NIADs) with other NIADs for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), using decision-analytical modelling (DAM), focusing on both the economic results and the underlying methodological choices. METHODS Eligible studies were CEAs using DAM to compare NIADs within the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP1) receptor agonists, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, or dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitor classes with other NIADs within those classes for the treatment of T2DM. The PubMed, Embase and Econlit databases were searched from 1 January 2018 to 15 November 2022. Two reviewers screened the studies for relevance by titles and abstracts and then for eligibility via full-text screening, extracted the data from the full texts and appendices, and then stored the data in a spreadsheet. RESULTS The search yielded 890 records and 50 studies were eligible for inclusion. The studies were mainly based on a European setting (60%). Industry sponsorship was found in 82% of studies. The CORE diabetes model was used in 48% of the studies. GLP1 and SGLT2 products were the main comparators in 31 and 16 studies, respectively, while one study had DPP4 and two had no easily discernible main comparator. Direct comparison between SGLT2 and GLP1 occurred in 19 studies. At a class level, SGLT2 dominated GLP1 in six studies and was cost effective against GLP1 once as part of a treatment pathway. GLP1 was cost effective in nine studies and not cost effective against SGLT2 in three studies. At a product level, oral and injectable semaglutide, and empagliflozin, were cost effective against other within-class products. Injectable and oral semaglutide were more frequently found cost effective in these comparisons, with some conflicting results. Most of the modelled cohorts and treatment effects were sourced from randomised controlled trials. The following model assumptions varied depending on the class of the main comparator: choice of and reasoning behind risk equations, the time until the treatment switch, and how often the comparators were discontinued. Diabetes-related complications were emphasised on par with quality-adjusted life-years as model outputs. The main quality issues were regarding the description of alternatives, the perspective of analysis, the measurement of costs and consequences, and patient subgroups. CONCLUSION The included CEAs using DAMs have limitations that hinder their ability to inform decision makers on the cost-effective choice: lack of updated reasoning behind the choice of key model assumptions, over-reliance on risk equations based on older treatment practices, and sponsorship bias. The question of which NIAD is cost effective for the treatment of which T2DM patient is a pressing one and the answer remains unclear.

Abstract
Importance Prior studies suggested that metformin may be associated with reduced dementia incidence, but associations may be confounded by disease severity and prescribing trends. Cessation of metformin therapy in people with diabetes typically occurs due to signs of kidney dysfunction but sometimes is due to less serious adverse effects associated with metformin. Objective To investigate the association of terminating metformin treatment for reasons unrelated to kidney dysfunction with dementia incidence. Design, Setting, and Participants This cohort study was conducted at Kaiser Permanente Northern California, a large integrated health care delivery system, among a cohort of metformin users born prior to 1955 without history of diagnosed kidney disease at metformin initiation. Dementia follow-up began with the implementation of electronic health records in 1996 and continued to 2020. Data were analyzed from November 2021 through September 2023. Exposures A total of 12 220 early terminators, individuals who stopped metformin with normal estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), were compared with routine metformin users, who had not yet terminated metformin treatment or had terminated (with or without restarting) after their first abnormal eGFR measurement. Early terminators were matched with routine users of the same age and gender who had diabetes for the same duration. Main outcomes and measures The outcome of interest was all-cause incident dementia. Follow-up for early terminators and their matched routine users was started at age of termination for the early terminator. Survival models adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics and comorbidities at the time of metformin termination (or matched age). Mediation models with HbA1c level and insulin usage 1 and 5 years after termination tested whether changes in blood glucose or insulin usage explained associations between early termination of metformin and dementia incidence. Results The final analytic sample consisted of 12 220 early terminators (5640 women [46.2%]; mean [SD] age at start of first metformin prescription, 59.4 [9.0] years) and 29 126 routine users (13 582 women [46.6%]; mean [SD] age at start of first metformin prescription, 61.1 [8.9] years). Early terminators had 1.21 times the hazard of dementia diagnosis compared with routine users (hazard ratio, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.12 to 1.30). In mediation analysis, contributions to this association by changes in HbA1c level or insulin use ranged from no contribution (0.00 years; 95% CI, -0.02 to 0.02 years) for insulin use at 5 years after termination to 0.07 years (95% CI, 0.02 to 0.13 years) for HbA1c level at 1 year after termination, suggesting that the association was largely independent of changes in HbA1c level and insulin usage. Conclusions and Relevance In this study, terminating metformin treatment was associated with increased dementia incidence. This finding may have important implications for clinical treatment of adults with diabetes and provides additional evidence that metformin is associated with reduced dementia risk.

AIM To assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of basal insulin Fc (BIF; LY3209590), a fusion protein combining a novel single-chain insulin variant together with human IgG2 Fc domain, following single and multiple once-weekly BIF administration. MATERIALS AND METHODS The single ascending dose, 15-day study assessed four BIF doses (5-35 mg) in healthy participants and people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). In the 6-week multiple ascending dose study, people with T2D, previously treated with basal insulin, received insulin glargine daily or a one-time loading dose of BIF followed by 5 weeks of once-weekly dosing (1-10 mg). Safety, tolerability and PK and glucose PD were examined. RESULTS Mean ages of people with T2D (N = 57) and healthy participants (N = 16) in the single-dose study were 58.4 and 35.8 years, respectively; mean body mass index values were 29.5 and 26.1 kg/m2 . BIF had a PK half-life of approximately 17 days, which led to a sustained, dose-dependent decrease in fasting blood glucose for 5 days or longer. No severe hypoglycaemia was observed. The 6-week ascending dose study included 33 people with T2D aged 40-69 years. BIF showed a low peak-to-trough ratio of 1.14 after the last dose at week 6 (steady state). Over 6 weeks, BIF seven-point glucose profiles remained constant and were similar to insulin glargine. Rates and duration of BIF hypoglycaemic events were similar to insulin glargine. CONCLUSIONS BIF was well tolerated and the PK/PD profile enabled once-weekly dosing with minimal variation in exposure in a treatment interval of 1 week. The findings suggest BIF is suitable for further development as a weekly basal insulin in people with diabetes.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction Metformin has become the first-line agent for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in several international guidelines. Up to 25% of patients suffer from gastrointestinal side-effects, with approximately 5% unable to tolerate metformin at all.
Objective We aimed to study the effect of variables that may influence the development of metformin side effects and/or intolerance.
Method A prospective study was conducted from April 1, 2021 to March 30, 2022. One-hundred and forty-eight patients newly diagnosed with T2DM were enrolled in the study, and divided into two groups—those who were escalate to the maximum dose of metformin over 2 weeks (n = 43) and the other group over 4 weeks (n = 105). We studied the variables that may affect the development of side effects including age, gender, body mass index (BMI), lipid profile, glycemic level, and the use of other antidiabetic medications besides the duration of dose escalation.
Results Total number of patients who developed side effects was 59 (39.9%). Twenty-four (55.8%) and 35 (33.3%) patients were put in the rapid and slow escalation groups, respectively. Twenty-six (17.6%) patients developed diarrhea that was the most common side effect. Two (2.7%) men and ten women (13.5%) had stopped metformin due to severe side effects developed after initiation (p = 0.016). The mean BMI for the patients who discontinued metformin was 34.7 ± 4.1 kg/m2 in the rapid escalation arm and 31.6 ± 3.3 kg/m2 in the slow escalation arm (p = 0.003). The mean of fasting blood glucose for the patients who discontinued metformin in the rapid and slow escalation arms was 200.6 ± 25.6 and 173.4 ± 36.5 mg/dL, respectively (p = 0.022).
Conclusion The severity of metformin side effects is higher in women than in men, making more women to discontinue the drug. Besides, a higher fasting blood sugar and BMI are associated with a higher rate of discontinuation. A rapid dose escalation is associated with a higher frequency of side effects. Diarrhea is the commonest side effect encountered.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is one of the biggest challenges for the scientific community in the 21st century. It is a well-recognized multifactorial health problem contributes significantly to high mortality rates by causing serious health complications mainly related to cardiovascular diseases, kidney damage and neuropathy. The inhibition of α-glucosidase (enzyme that catalyses starch hydrolysis in the intestine) is an effective therapeutic approach for controlling hyperglycemia associated with type-2 diabetes. However, the presently approved drugs/inhibitors such as acarbose, miglitol and voglibose have several undesirable gastrointestinal side effects impeding their applications. Therefore, search for novel and more effective inhibitors with reduced side effects and less cost remains a fascinating area of research. In this context, a large variety of α-glucosidase inhibitors have been identified in recent years that demands attention from drug development community. This review is therefore an effort to summarize and highlight the promising α-glucosidase inhibitors especially those which are primarily based on aromatic heterocyclic scaffolds such as coumarin, imidazole, isatin, pyrimidine, quinazoline, triazine, thiazole etc, having improved safety and pharmacological profiles.

J Med Econ 2023; 26:1469-1478.

Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to evaluate the value and affordability of insulin glargine 300 U/mL (Gla-300) in a budget impact model from a United States (U.S.) payer perspective by leveraging recent real-world evidence (RWE) studies and incorporating the recent insulin price caps where applicable. MATERIALS AND METHODS An economic model for a hypothetical one million U.S. health-plan population was developed to assess the budgetary impact of therapeutic interchanges in either direction between the two long- and longer-acting basal insulins (BIs) for patients with type 2 diabetes over a three-year model horizon. The utilization of long-acting BIs, longer-acting BIs, biosimilar BIs, and insulin degludec (IDeg-100) were informed by IQVIA data and internal forecasting at Sanofi. The DELIVER-2 and DELIVER-naïve studies provided healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) parameters. In the model base case, 24% of patients switched from long-acting BIs to insulin glargine biosimilars, IDeg-100, and other longer-acting BIs (Gla-300) by projected year 3. RESULTS The base case total costs were $10,145 per patient per year (PPPY) in year 3 for the cumulative population. When all patients switched to Gla-300, the total costs in year 3 were $8,799, reflecting a net savings of -$660 PPPY compared to the budget increase of $686 PPPY in the base case. However, the longer-acting to long-acting BIs reversal scenario demonstrated a budgetary decrease of $676 PPPY over the model horizon. The reduction in incremental PPPY cost of $93 was observed using net drug costs rather than wholesale acquisition costs (WAC). LIMITATIONS The market shares for years 1-3 were based on expectations supported by the clinicians' expert opinions and were not obtained from real-world data. CONCLUSIONS The economic value of increased utilization of Gla-300 was driven by the reduction in HCRU, costs and market shares assumptions. Budgetary reductions were achieved by switching patients from long-acting BIs to Gla-300.

Abstract
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus has been increasing worldwide. As the therapeutic options for type 2 diabetes mellitus have evolved over the last 2 decades, national and global guidelines related to type 2 diabetes mellitus pharmacotherapy issued by various organizations have tended to vary in their recommendations. This narrative review aimed to analyze the key recommendations by major global and national guidelines on the initiation of insulin therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus over the last 20 years. Strategies for insulin therapy for titration and intensification were also assessed. All guidelines recommend initiation of insulin (basal/ premixed/other formulations) when glycemic targets are not achieved despite lifestyle measures and oral antidiabetic drugs. In the recent decade, early initiation of insulin has been recommended when the glycated hemoglobin levels are >10% or blood glucose levels are ≥300 mg/dL (16.7 mmol/L). Initiation is recommended at a dose of 10 units or 0.1-0.2 U/kg. Titration is advised to achieve the optimal dosage, while intensification is recommended when glycemic targets are not achieved despite titrating to an acceptable level. Glucose monitoring at periodic intervals is recommended for adequate glycemic control. The guidelines further suggest that the choice of insulin should be individualized, considering the clinical status of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The physicians as well as patients should be a part of the decisions made regarding the therapeutic choice of regimen, preparation, and delivery device.

Abstract
This study conducted an in-depth analysis combining computational and experimental verifications of the deleterious missense mutations associated with the SLC29A4 protein. The functional annotation of the non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (nsSNPs), followed by structure-function analysis, revealed 13 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) as the most damaging. Among these, six mutants P429T/S, L144S, M108V, N86H, and V79E, were predicted as structurally and functionally damaging by protein stability analysis. Also, these variants are located at evolutionary conserved regions, either buried, contributing to the structural damage, or exposed, causing functional changes in the protein. These mutants were further taken for molecular docking studies. When verified via experimental analysis, the SNPs M108V (rs149798710), N86H (rs151039853), and V79E (rs17854505) showed an association with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Minor allele frequency for rs149798710 (A > G) was 0.23 in controls, 0.29 in metformin responders, 0.37 in metformin non-responder, for rs151039853 (A > C) was 0.21 in controls, 0.28 in metformin responders, 0.36 in metformin non-responder and for rs17854505 (T > A) was 0.20 in controls, 0.25 in metformin responders, 0.37 in metformin non-responder. Hence, this study concludes that SLC29A4 M108V (rs149798710), N86H (rs151039853), and V79E (rs17854505) polymorphisms were associated with the increased risk of T2DM as well as with the increased risk towards the failure of metformin therapeutic response in T2DM patients of Pakistan.

Cardiovasc Diabetol 2022; 21:274. [PMID: 36494815 PMCID: PMC9738028 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-022-01712-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Accepted: 12/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Results of cardiovascular outcome trials enabled a shift from "treat-to-target" to "treat-to-benefit" paradigm in the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, studies validating such approach are limited. Here, we examined whether treatment according to international recommendations for the pharmacological management of T2D had an impact on long-term outcomes. METHODS This was an observational study conducted on outpatient data collected in 2008-2018 (i.e. prior to the "treat-to-benefit" shift). We defined 6 domains of treatment based on the ADA/EASD consensus covering all disease stages: first- and second-line treatment, intensification, use of insulin, cardioprotective, and weight-affecting drugs. At each visit, patients were included in Group 1 if at least one domain deviated from recommendation or in Group 2 if aligned with recommendations. We used Cox proportional hazard models with time-dependent co-variates or Cox marginal structural models (with inverse-probability of treatment weighing evaluated at each visit) to adjust for confounding factors and evaluate three outcomes: major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), hospitalization for heart failure or cardiovascular mortality (HF-CVM), and all-cause mortality. RESULTS We included 5419 patients, on average 66-year old, 41% women, with a baseline diabetes duration of 7.6 years. Only 11.7% had pre-existing cardiovascular disease. During a median follow-up of 7.3 years, patients were seen 12 times at the clinic, and we recorded 1325 MACE, 1593 HF-CVM, and 917 deaths. By the end of the study, each patient spent on average 63.6% of time in Group 1. In the fully adjusted model, being always in Group 2 was associated with a 45% lower risk of MACE (HR 0.55; 95% C.I. 0.46-0.66; p < 0.0001) as compared to being in Group 1. The corresponding HF-CVM and mortality risk were similar (HR 0.56; 95%CI 0.47-0.66, p < 0.0001 and HR 0.56; 95% C.I. 0.45-0.70; p < 0.0001. respectively). Sensitivity analyses confirmed these results. No single domain individually explained the better outcome of Group 2, which remained significant in all subgroups. CONCLUSION Managing patients with T2D according to a "treat-to-benefit" approach based international standards was associated with a lower risk of MACE, heart failure, and mortality. These data provide ex-post validation of the ADA/EASD treatment algorithm.

Abstract
The serine/threonine kinase Akt, also known as protein kinase B (PKB), is one of the key factors regulating glucose and lipid energy metabolism, and is the core focus of current research on diabetes and metabolic diseases. Akt is mostly expressed in key metabolism-related organs and it is activated in response to various stimuli, including cell stress, cell movement, and various hormones and drugs that affect cell metabolism. Genetic and pharmacological studies have shown that Akt is necessary to maintain the steady state of glucose and lipid metabolism and a variety of cellular responses. Existing evidence shows that metabolic syndrome is related to insulin resistance and lipid metabolism disorders. Based on a large number of studies on Akt-related pathways and reactions, we believe that Akt can be used as a potential drug target to effectively treat metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
Biguanides, particularly the widely prescribed drug metformin, have been marketed for many decades and have well-established absorption profiles. They are commonly administered via the oral route and, despite variation in oral uptake, remain commonly prescribed for diabetes mellitus, typically type 2. Studies over the last decade have focused on the design and development of advanced oral delivery dosage forms using bio nano technologies and novel drug carrier systems. Such studies have demonstrated significantly enhanced delivery and safety of biguanides using nanocapsules. Enhanced delivery and safety have widened the potential applications of biguanides not only in diabetes but also in other disorders. Hence, this review aimed to explore biguanides’ pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and pharmaceutical applications in diabetes, as well as in other disorders.

Abstract
AIM To compare the efficacy and tolerability of metformin extended-release (MXR) and the conventional metformin immediate-release (MIR) formulations in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) METHODS: PubMed, the Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.gov and other sources were searched until 19 March 2021 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared equal daily doses of MXR and MIR in adults with T2DM. Random-effects model meta-analysis was performed to obtain pooled mean difference (MD) of change from baseline for continuous outcomes and risk ratio (RR) for dichotomous outcomes. Primary outcomes considered were HbA1c and key gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms (abdominal discomfort or pain, diarrhea, dyspepsia, and nausea & vomiting). RESULTS Nine RCTs that randomized a total of 2609 adults revealed that MIR was statistically associated with better HbA1c lowering (MD 0.09% [95% confidence interval or CI, 0.01%, 0.17%]), MXR only reduced dyspepsia (RR 0.58 [95% CI, 0.34, 0.98]), and both formulations were associated with similar cumulative incidence of other key GI symptoms. CONCLUSIONS MXR was associated with statistically worse but likely clinically similar HbA1c lowering and minimal improvement of GI intolerance compared to MIR. Protocol Registration: PROSPERO (CRD42019148008).

Abstract
Salmon milt peptide (SMP), an unused fish processing byproduct, exhibits strong inhibitory activity against dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) and a suppressive effect on postprandial hyperglycaemia in Sprague-Dawley rats. Herein, we conducted a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, crossover study of healthy Japanese subjects to investigate the effect of glucose loading on postprandial blood glucose levels after one week of administering continuous or single dose of 500 mg of SMP. The primary and secondary outcomes of reduced blood glucose and insulin levels were not met in the 14 subjects included in the analysis. This may be due to the ineffectiveness of SMP in insulin resistance due to its DPP-IV inhibitory activity. Therefore, we conducted a SMP subgroup analysis based on the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR); the group with normal HOMA-IR (<1.6) had a significantly lower area under the curve and blood glucose at 60 min after glucose loading than the group with HOMA-IR ≥1.6. These results suggest that SMP is effective in subjects without insulin resistance. There were no adverse events associated with the test food, and SMP was considered safe. This report is the first to investigate the effect of a food ingredient with DPP-IV inhibitory activity in a clinical trial.

Combined effect of metformin and gallic acid on inflammation, antioxidant status, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and glucose metabolism in fructose-fed streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Toxicol Rep 2021; 8:1419-1427. [PMID: 34345595 PMCID: PMC8319514 DOI: 10.1016/j.toxrep.2021.07.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2020] [Revised: 06/11/2021] [Accepted: 07/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Metformin, gallic acid and a combination of both improved glucose metabolism and antioxidant status in diabetic rats. Metformin, gallic acid and a combination of both lowered levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in liver and pancreas of diabetic rats. Metformin, gallic acid and a combination of both decreased the expression of ATF4 in liver and pancreas of diabetic rats. Metformin/GA combination appeared more effective than metformin only and gallic acid only.
Over time, diabetes patients usually need combination therapy involving two or more agents, including phytonutrients to attain therapeutic targets. The purpose of this research is to elucidate the combined effect of metformin and gallic acid (GA) on glucose metabolism, inflammation as well as oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stresses in fructose-fed diabetic rats. Thirty-five rats of Wistar strain were arbitrarily distributed into five groups, each containing seven animals as follows: normal control, diabetic control, groups administered 100 mg/kg bw metformin only, 50 mg/kg bw gallic acid only and a combination of both. Experimental animals were made diabetic by single injection of 40 mg/kg streptozotocin (intraperitoneally) subsequent to 14 days administration of 10 % fructose prior. Treatment of rats continued for 21 days following diabetes confirmation. Glucose and insulin levels as well as lipid profile were evaluated in the serum, while activities of catalase and superoxide dismutase were estimated in both liver and pancreas. In addition, levels of malondialdehyde, interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, as well as expression of activating transcription factor-4 were evaluated in liver and pancreas of diabetic rats. Activities of glucose-6-phosphatase and glucokinase were also determined in liver of diabetic animals. Metformin only, GA only and combination of metformin and GA significantly improved antioxidant status and glucose homeostasis while inflammation and endoplasmic reticulum stress were significantly ameliorated in diabetic rats. Metformin/GA combination appeared to improve glucose metabolism by increasing insulin level and ameliorating the dysregulated activities of glucose metabolizing enzymes and ER stress better than either metformin only or GA only. It could be concluded that coadministration of metformin/GA produced a combined effect in ameliorating diabetes in Wistar rats and could be considered in treatment of diabetes.

Shah BM, Modi P, Trivedi P. Recent Medicinal Chemistry Approach for the Development of Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV Inhibitors. Curr Med Chem 2021; 28:3595-3621.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes, a metabolic disease, occurs due to a decreased or no effect of insulin on the blood glucose level. The current oral medications stimulate insulin release, increase glucose absorption and its utilization, and decrease hepatic glucose output. Two major incretin hormones like Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagonlike peptide - 1 (GLP-1) stimulate insulin release after a meal, but their action is inhibited by enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase- IV. OBJECTIVE The activity of endogenous GLP-1 and GIP prolongs and extends with DPP IV inhibitors, which are responsible for the stimulation of insulin secretion and regulation of blood glucose level. DPP IV inhibitors have shown effectiveness and endurability with a neutral effect on weight as well as less chances of hypoglycemia in the management of type 2 diabetes. These journeys started from Sitagliptin (marketed in 2006) to Evogliptin (marketed in 2015, Korea). CONCLUSION Treatment of type 2 diabetes includes lifestyle changes, oral medications, and insulin. Newer and superior therapies are needed more than currently prescribed drugs. Various heterocyclic derivatives have been tried, but due to masking of DASH proteins, CYP enzymes, and hERG channel, they showed side effects. Based on these, the study has been focused on the development of safe, influential, selective, and long-lasting inhibitors of DPP IV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug therapy for diabetes mellitus (DM) has had a significant impact on quality of life and work potential of affected persons and has contributed to a remarkable decrease in the frequency and severity of complications, hospitalizations, and mortality. The current approach is the result of incremental progress in using technological advances to increase the safety and effectiveness of insulin therapy and the introduction of new molecules as oral and injectable antidiabetic drugs. STUDY QUESTION What are the milestones of the changes in the expert approach to the pharmacological management of DM in the past century? STUDY DESIGN To determine the changes in the experts' approach to the management of DM, as presented in a widely used textbook in the United States. DATA SOURCES The chapters on describing the management of DM in the 26 editions of Cecil Textbook of Medicine published from 1927 to 2020. RESULTS In 1927, DM was treated with insulin extracted from the pancreas of large animals (cattle, hogs, and sheep) and purified with alcohol to prevent the tissues' proteolytic action on the hormone. The therapeutic milestones in DM marked 2 avenues for innovation. The first created advances in insulin therapy, starting with processes that led to the production of crystalline insulin and protamine zinc insulin (1937), synthetic human insulin (1996), and prandial (2000) and basal (2004) insulin analogues. The second was an effort to develop and introduce in clinical practice in the United States oral antidiabetic drugs, starting with tolbutamide, a sulfonylurea (1955), followed by metformin, a biguanide (1996), thiazolidinediones, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, and benzoic acid derivatives (2000), dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (2008), and sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (2020). A latent period of 40 years between significant advances was likely because of searches for new technologies (eg, recombinant DNA for the production of synthetic insulin and analogues) and, at least in part, to the impact of the controversial University Group Diabetes Project on the development and acceptance of oral antidiabetic drugs. CONCLUSIONS The pharmacological management of DM has progressed unevenly, with a long latency period in the second half of the last century followed by highly encouraging advances in the first 2 decades of the 21st century. In chronological order, the major advances were synthetic insulins obtained through DNA recombinant technology, adoption of metformin as first line therapy, and introduction of antidiabetic medication classes that also promote weight reduction and cardiovascular health.

Physiologically based metformin pharmacokinetics model of mice and scale-up to humans for the estimation of concentrations in various tissues. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0249594.

Abstract
Metformin is the primary drug for type 2 diabetes treatment and a promising candidate for other disease treatment. It has significant deviations between individuals in therapy efficiency and pharmacokinetics, leading to the administration of an unnecessary overdose or an insufficient dose. There is a lack of data regarding the concentration-time profiles in various human tissues that limits the understanding of pharmacokinetics and hinders the development of precision therapies for individual patients. The physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model developed in this study is based on humans’ known physiological parameters (blood flow, tissue volume, and others). The missing tissue-specific pharmacokinetics parameters are estimated by developing a PBPK model of metformin in mice where the concentration time series in various tissues have been measured. Some parameters are adapted from human intestine cell culture experiments. The resulting PBPK model for metformin in humans includes 21 tissues and body fluids compartments and can simulate metformin concentration in the stomach, small intestine, liver, kidney, heart, skeletal muscle adipose, and brain depending on the body weight, dose, and administration regimen. Simulations for humans with a bodyweight of 70kg have been analyzed for doses in the range of 500-1500mg. Most tissues have a half-life (T1/2) similar to plasma (3.7h) except for the liver and intestine with shorter T1/2 and muscle, kidney, and red blood cells that have longer T1/2. The highest maximal concentrations (Cmax) turned out to be in the intestine (absorption process) and kidney (excretion process), followed by the liver. The developed metformin PBPK model for mice does not have a compartment for red blood cells and consists of 20 compartments. The developed human model can be personalized by adapting measurable values (tissue volumes, blood flow) and measuring metformin concentration time-course in blood and urine after a single dose of metformin. The personalized model can be used as a decision support tool for precision therapy development for individuals.

Abstract
Metformin is the most commonly prescribed oral antidiabetic medication. Direct/indirect activation of Adenosine Monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and non-AMPK pathways, amongst others, are deemed to explain the molecular mechanisms of action of metformin. Metformin is an established insulin receptor sensitising antihyperglycemic agent, is highly affordable, and has superior safety and efficacy profiles. Emerging experimental and clinical evidence suggests that metformin has pleiotropic non-glycemic effects. Metformin appears to have weight stabilising, renoprotective, neuroprotective, cardio-vascular protective, and antineoplastic effects and mitigates polycystic ovarian syndrome. Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of metformin seem to qualify it as an adjunct therapy in treating infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, viral hepatitis, and the current novel Covid-19 infections. So far, metformin is the only prescription medicine relevant to the emerging field of senotherapeutics. Non-glycemic effects of metformin favourable to its repurposing in therapeutic use are hereby discussed.

Abstract
AIMS Pre-diabetes is a common condition that affects about 16.4% of Australian adults. Hyperglycaemia is a strong risk factor for the development of stroke. Metformin XR is an approved medication to treat type 2 diabetes in Australia but not pre-diabetes. Additionally, whether it is tolerated following a stroke is unclear. In this pilot study, we aimed to assess the feasibility of Metformin XR in people with stroke and pre-diabetes. METHODS In this PROBE design trial, people who had recent stroke (within 3 months) with pre-diabetes were randomized to either the active arm (n = 13) receiving usual care plus Metformin XR (500 mg daily increased to a total daily dose of 1500 mg) or the control group receiving only usual care (n = 13). At baseline & after four months of intervention, clinical and biomedical characteristics, cardiovascular risk factors and medication data were recorded. At one month and 2.5 months into the study, compliance rateandside effects were determined. RESULTS This trial showed that it is feasible to recruit, retain and monitor participants. However, the compliance rate was low. Adherence to metformin XR was 52% (IQR:42% to 61%) based on the remaining tablets in the container after 4 months of intervention. None of the reported side effects were deemed to be related to the study treatment and no significant differences were observed between the metformin XR and the control group. CONCLUSION Treatment with Metformin XR in participants admitted with stroke and with pre-diabetes is feasible and safe. Strategies are needed to improve adherence in future trials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess whether metformin use affects risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by comparing the risk of BPH in men with type 2 diabetes who initiated first-line treatment with either metformin or sulfonylurea monotherapy between 2000 or 2006 in Northern Denmark. In this period, sulfonylurea and metformin were both frequently used as first-line glucose-lowering drug (GLD) treatment. DESIGN A population-based cohort study. SETTING Northern Denmark. PARTICIPANTS All men who filled at least two prescriptions for metformin or for sulfonylurea, respectively, during their first 6 months of GLD treatment. Follow-up started 6 months after treatment start. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURES Rates of subsequent BPH, identified based on community prescriptions for BPH-related treatment or hospital BPH diagnoses, and rates of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Rates in metformin and sulfonylurea users were compared overall and stratified by 6-month haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) using Cox regression and an intention-to-treat (ITT) approach and an as-treated analysis. RESULTS During follow-up, less than five persons were lost to follow-up due to emigration. In 3953 metformin initiators with a median follow-up of 10 years, the 10-year cumulative BPH incidence was 25.7% (95% CI 24.2 to 27.1). Compared with 5958 sulfonylurea users (median follow-up 8 years, 10-year cumulative incidence 27.4% (95% CI 26.2 to 28.6)), the crude HR for BPH was 0.83 (95% CI 0.77 to 0.89) and adjusted HR in the ITT analyses was 0.97 (95% CI 0.88 to 1.06). For TURP, the adjusted HR was 0.96 (95% CI 0.63 to 1.46). In the as-treated analysis, adjusted HR for BPH was 0.91 (95% CI 0.81 to 1.02). CONCLUSIONS Compared with sulfonylurea, metformin did not substantially reduce the incidence of BPH in men with diabetes.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycemia resulting from inefficient signaling and insufficient production of insulin. Conventional management of T2D has largely relied on small molecule-based oral hypoglycemic medicines, which do not halt the progression of the disease due to limited efficacy and induce adverse effects as well. To this end, antisense oligonucleotide has attracted immense attention in developing antidiabetic agents because of their ability to downregulate the expression of disease-causing genes at the RNA and protein level. To date, seven antisense agents have been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for therapies of a variety of human maladies, including genetic disorders. Herein, we provide a comprehensive review of antisense molecules developed for suppressing the causative genes believed to be responsible for insulin resistance and hyperglycemia toward preventing and treating T2D.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is a paucity of data analysing the reasons for primary non-adherence following first prescription of insulin among patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in India. To address this, and to attempt to understand these reasons, an exploratory study was undertaken to assess the prevalence of primary non-adherence with insulin and barriers to insulin initiation in these patients. METHODS Study participants were randomly selected from patients with T2DM who visited the diabetes clinic of a tertiary care teaching public hospital in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India, and were prescribed insulin for the first time in last 2-year period. All participants were evaluated for history of primary non-adherence, and those who were non-adherent were subsequently interviewed face-to-face using a modified, validated semi-structured questionnaire to identify the reasons for primary non-adherence. A focused group discussion was also conducted with eight physicians to elicit their views about reasons for primary non-adherence with insulin. RESULTS A total of 225 patients were identified and interviewed; of these, 105 were identified with a history of primary non-adherence and underwent a subsequent face-to-face interview. There was a high prevalence of primary non-adherence with insulin among the participants of this study. The main reasons for non-adherence were low self-efficacy, doubt about clinical benefits of insulin, fear of hypoglycaemia, needle phobia, unaffordability of insulin and blood glucose monitoring device, strong faith in alternative medicines and mythical ideologies, and fears of insulin being addictive and that it may cause rapid aging. CONCLUSION With the high prevalence of primary non-adherence, and the multitude of reasons for this, it is clear that we need to eliminate these barriers to treatment. Thus, provision of dedicated diabetes educators in each diabetes clinic and availability of cost-effective insulin and blood glucose monitoring devices for the underprivileged population are key to achieve this.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Teneligliptin is an antidiabetic medication that has been approved for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Japan, South Korea and India. It is one of the most commonly prescribed antihyperglycaemic agents. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of teneligliptin in improving glycemic control amongst Indian patients with T2DM in a real-world setting. METHODS This was a retrospective observational study in which a predesigned structured proforma was used to collect information from hospital records of 18 medical centres across India. All participating centres were established primary care hospitals with adequate record keeping, a pre-determined condition in the study design. Data were collected during the period of January 2019 to June 2019. Data extracted from patient records, including glycaemic parameters, concomitant drugs, drug dosage and duration, were collated. The effectiveness of teneligliptin was assessed by analyzing the mean change in glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and post-prandial plasma glucose (PPG) at 12 weeks after initiation of teneligliptin. RESULTS Data from 10,623 patients were available for analysis. The mean age of the enrolled patients was 51.86 ± 11.76 years. At 12 weeks after initiation of teneligliptin as monotherapy or add-on to other medications (combination therapy), the patients showed a signficant decrease from baseline in mean HbA1c, FPG and PPG. Mean HbA1c dropped from 8.66 ± 1.15% at baseline to 7.67 ± 1.28% at 12 weeks (71 ± 12.6 to 60 ± 14 mmol/mol), with a difference of - 0.99% (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.96-1.02) or - 10.8 (95% CI 10.5-11.1) mmol/mol (p < 0.0001). The mean reductions in FPG and PPG were 43.12 mg/dL (2.39 mmol/L) and 87.73 mg/dL (4.87 mmol/L) (both p < 0.0001) respectively. HbA1c (%) reductions with teneligliptin when used as add-on to metformin, add-on to metformin + sulfonylurea combination and add-on to metformin + sulfonylurea + alpha glucosidase inhibitor combination were 0.76% (8.3 mmol/mol), 1.24% (13.6 mmol/mol) and 1.04% (11.4 mmol/mol), respectively. Teneligliptin also significantly reduced HbA1c (1.13% or 12.4 mmol/mol, p < 0.0001) in patients with impaired renal function, without worsening the estimated glomerular filtration rate. Teneligliptin consistently reduced HbA1c across all three age categories tested-by 1% (10.9 mmol/mol) in patients aged < 60 years, by 1.15% (12.6 mmol/mol) in patients aged 60-75 years and by 0.88% (9.6 mmol/mol) in patients aged > 75 years. CONCLUSION Teneligliptin significantly improved glycaemic parameters in Indian patients with T2DM when prescribed either as monotherapy or as an add-on to one or more other commonly prescribed antihyperglycaemic agents.

Abstract
Berries are considered "promising functional fruits" due to their distinct and ubiquitous therapeutic contents of anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins, phenolic acids, flavonoids, flavanols, alkaloids, polysaccharides, hydroxycinnamic, ellagic acid derivatives, and organic acids. These polyphenols are part of berries and the human diet, and evidence suggests that their intake is associated with a reduced risk or the reversal of metabolic pathophysiologies related to diabetes, obesity, oxidative stress, inflammation, and hypertension. This work reviewed and summarized both clinical and non-clinical findings that the consumption of berries, berry extracts, purified compounds, juices, jams, jellies, and other berry byproducts aided in the prevention and or otherwise management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and related complications. The integration of berries and berries-derived byproducts into high-carbohydrate (HCD) and high-fat (HFD) diets, also reversed/reduced the HCD/HFD-induced alterations in glucose metabolism-related pathways, and markers of oxidative stress, inflammation, and lipid oxidation in healthy/obese/diabetic subjects. The berry polyphenols also modulate the intestinal microflora ecology by opposing the diabetic and obesity rendered symbolic reduction of Bacteroidetes/Firmicutes ratio, intestinal mucosal barrier dysfunction-restoring bacteria, short-chain fatty acids, and organic acid producing microflora. All studies proposed a number of potential mechanisms of action of respective berry bioactive compounds, although further mechanistic and molecular studies are warranted. The metabolic profiling of each berry is also included to provide up-to-date information regarding the potential anti-oxidative/antidiabetic constituents of each berry.

Abstract
Pharmacophore modeling, molecular docking, and in silico ADME studies have been carried out to determine the binding mode and drug likeliness profile of Pyrrolidine derivatives as Dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors. A five point pharmacophore model (AAADH_1) was generated using 96 compounds with IC50 values ranging from 1.8 to 13000 nM. A statistically significant 3D-QSAR model was generated from the pharmacophore hypothesis. The model had a high correlation coefficient (R2 - 0.92), cross validation coefficient (Q2 - 0.776) and F value (F - 144) at 6 component Partial least square factor. Pearson r of 0.7124 indicated greater degree of confidence on the model. The accuracy and predictability of the generated model were checked by Enrichment factor, Receiver operating characteristic curves, area under curve, Boltzmann-enhanced discrimination of Receiver operating characteristic and the Robust initial enhancement. To identify novel and potent Dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors, virtual screening was performed using the ligand and database screening. Considering the potent hit molecules on the basis of pharmacophore virtual screening, we have designed new molecules and further subjected to see the interaction with protein. The catalytic domain of Dipeptidyl peptidase IV enzyme in complex with Vildagliptin (PDB Code: 6B1E) was obtained from protein data bank with resolution 1.77 A°. Compound 75 showed the better binding (dock score -7.966) with protein than standard drug vildagliptin (Dock Score -6.554). The hits obtained on virtual screening of the database have provided new chemical starting points for design and development of novel Dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitory agents.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is little information on medication use, trends across time, and the impact of guidelines on appropriate use of antidiabetic drugs in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS A cross-sectional analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2005-2016 was carried out for participants with T2DM with and without CKD. Multivariate survey-weighted regression models were used to evaluate trends in antidiabetic drug use across the time periods and CKD severity. Guideline-discordant use of metformin and glyburide were assessed among those with glomerular filtration rate and serum creatinine-based contraindications. RESULTS Out of 3237 study participants with T2DM, 35.9% had CKD. Comparing 2013-2016 with 2005-2008, use of metformin (non-CKD: 69% vs 83.8%, CKD: 58.6% vs 68.2%) increased, whereas the use of sulfonylureas (non-CKD: 46.3% vs 27.2%, CKD: 54.7% vs 36.6%) and thiazolidinediones (non-CKD: 29.3% vs 3.9%, CKD: 24.6% vs 5.5%) decreased. In combined NHANES cycles and across stages of CKD severity, metformin use decreased (non-CKD, stage 1/2, stage 3, stage 4/5: 78.4%, 69.5%, 54.6%, 4.9%, respectively; P < .01), and insulin use increased (18.5%, 26.8%, 25%, 52.8%, respectively; P < .01) from non-CKD to progressed CKD. Guideline-discordant use of metformin and glyburide was observed in 8.3% and 2.8% of the participants, respectively, in 2013-2016. CONCLUSIONS Use of particular antidiabetic medications in patients with CKD changed noticeably over the years, most in accordance with guidelines and regulatory decisions. Gaps in quality of care still exist, which warrants increasing awareness and implementing programs to mitigate inappropriate use.

Abstract
AIMS Disturbance of intestinal homeostasis promotes the development of type 2 diabetes. Although intensive insulin therapy has been shown to promote extended glycemic remission in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients through multiple mechanisms, its effect on intestinal homeostasis remains unknown. METHODS This study evaluated the effects of intensive insulin therapy on intestinal morphometric parameters in a hyperglycemic mice model induced by high-fat diet (HFD). 16S rRNA V4 region sequencing and multivariate analysis were utilized to evaluate the structural changes of gut microbiota. RESULTS HFD-induced increases in the lengths of villus, microvillus and crypt depth were significantly reversed after intensive insulin therapy. Moreover, intestinal proliferation was notably decreased after intensive insulin therapy, whereas intestinal apoptosis was further increased. Importantly, intensive insulin therapy significantly shifted the overall structure of the HFD-disrupted gut microbiota toward that of mice fed a normal diet and changed the gut microbial composition. The abundances of 54 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were changed by intensive insulin therapy. Thirty altered OTUs correlated with two or more intestinal morphometric parameters and were designated 'functionally relevant phylotypes.' CONCLUSIONS For the first time, our data indicate that intensive insulin therapy recovers diabetes-associated gut structural abnormalities and restores the microbiome landscape. Moreover, specific altered 'functionally relevant phylotypes' correlates with improvement in diabetes-associated gut structural alterations.

Abstract
A rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method was developed, optimized, and validated for simultaneous quantification of empagliflozin and metformin in human plasma using empagliflozin D4and metformin D6 as an internal standard. Analytes and internal standard were extracted from plasma by optimized solid-phase extraction technique using Strata X polymeric reverse phase (30 mg-1cc) solid-phase extraction cartridges. The prepared samples were chromatographed on Orosil C18 column (150 × 4.6 mm, 3 µ). Separation was done by pumping isocratic mobile phase consisting of methanol and 10 mM ammonium trifluoroacetate (90:10, v/v) in positive ion mode at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. The API 3200 liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry system having turbo ion spray as an ion source coupled with Shimadzu Prominence ultrafast liquid chromatography system was operated under the selected reaction monitoring mode. Turbo ion spray ionization was used for mass transition of m/z 468.070/355.100 and m/z 130.072/71.200 for empagliflozin and metformin, respectively. A method was successfully validated for concentration range of 10.09-5013.46 ng/mL for both the analytes and according to the United States Food and Drugs Administration guidelines. The linearity was found to be in the range of 10.09-403.46 ng/mL for empagliflozin and 25.44-5013.46 ng/mL for metformin. The limit of quantification was found to be 10.09 ng/mL for empagliflozin and 25.44 ng/mL for metformin. Intra- and inter-day/between batch precision determination for empagliflozin and metformin, expressed as coefficient of variation were within the acceptance limits and ranged below 13.16%. A short run time of 3.3 min allows analysis of more than 400 plasma samples per day. The developed method was successfully applied to fasting pharmacokinetic study in healthy human volunteers. Results of incurred sample re-analysis were within the acceptance range of ±20% of original value, for 97.2% of samples reanalyzed for empagliflozin and 100% of samples reanalyzed for metformin.

Abstract
Today, excluding insulin, there are eight classes of anti-diabetic medicines that have been added to the pharmacy since the introduction of metformin in the mid-1950s; the sulfonylureas, biguanides, thiazolidinediones, α-glucosidase inhibitors, meglitinides, incretins, and sodium glucose transport 2 inhibitors. Does the fact that metformin is still first-line treatment suggest that our drug discovery efforts over the past 60 years have not been good enough? Or does it suggest that diabetes is such a complex disorder that no single treatment, other than gastric bypass surgery, can affect true normalization of not only blood sugar but also the underlying pathologies? Our understanding of the disease has most definitely improved which may bring hope for the future in terms of science, but for it to be beneficial, this science has to be translated into better drug treatments for the disease. In this review, I have examined the eight classes of anti-diabetes drugs from a drug discovery perspective.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of glucose fluctuation targeted intervention on neurologic function, independent living skills, and quality of life in type 2 diabetes patients following the first episode of cerebral infarction (CI). METHODS This was a randomized control trial. Following confirmed cerebral infarction, 75 patients with type 2 diabetes were randomized into 2 groups: control group (n = 37) with usual care, focused on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) control, targeting A1c < 7%, and intervention group (n = 37) with usual care, focused on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) control, targeting A1c < 7%, and intervention group (. RESULTS After 6 months, data from 63 patients were analyzed (30 in the control group, 33 in the intervention group). There was no difference (P > 0.05) in the reduction of A1c between the 2 groups, but the reductions of LAGE (P > 0.05) in the reduction of A1c between the 2 groups, but the reductions of LAGE (P > 0.05) in the reduction of A1c between the 2 groups, but the reductions of LAGE (P > 0.05) in the reduction of A1c between the 2 groups, but the reductions of LAGE (P > 0.05) in the reduction of A1c between the 2 groups, but the reductions of LAGE (P > 0.05) in the reduction of A1c between the 2 groups, but the reductions of LAGE (P > 0.05) in the reduction of A1c between the 2 groups, but the reductions of LAGE (P > 0.05) in the reduction of A1c between the 2 groups, but the reductions of LAGE (P > 0.05) in the reduction of A1c between the 2 groups, but the reductions of LAGE (. CONCLUSION Glucose fluctuation targeted intervention can improve nerve function for patients with T2DM following the first CI episode. This trial is registered with NCT03932084.

Šimić S, Svaguša T, Prkačin I, Bulum T. Relationship between hemoglobin A1c and serum troponin in patients with diabetes and cardiovascular events. J Diabetes Metab Disord 2019; 18:693-704. [PMID: 31890693 PMCID: PMC6915172 DOI: 10.1007/s40200-019-00460-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2019] [Accepted: 10/24/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders associated with high risk for cardiovascular disease. Although troponins are primarily clinically used for the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome, they are also used in risk assessment in patients with acute coronary syndrome as well as in a number of other conditions. The aim of this review was to investigate the relationship between hemoglobin A1c and serum troponin in patients with diabetes and cardiovascular events. METHODS Hemoglobin A1c has been chosen as the best clinical indicator of glucose control and risk of micro and macrovascular complications. We investigated cardiac troponins as a group of markers of muscle injury which includes troponin T, troponin I and troponin C. Troponin T and I are specific for myocardial injury, compared to C which is specific for skeletal muscle. RESULTS In this review, we showed that there was a causal relation between hemoglobin A1c levels and serum troponin concentrations. Hemoglobin A1c has shown to be a positive predictive factor of incidence, mortality and morbidity of conditions such as acute coronary syndrome, arrhythmias, stroke, pulmonary embolism and other conditions that causes troponin elevation by its release in circulation. CONCLUSIONS Chronic hyperglycemia decreases glomerular filtration and consequently decreases troponin elimination and also by affecting the heart microcirculation it leads to microvascular damage and consequently to ischemia which contribute to troponin concentration elevation. Furthermore, correlation between hemoglobin A1c and troponin concentration manifests in their prognostic value for mortality.

Abstract
The aim of this review was to examine changes in the use of diabetes medicines prescribed to treat type 2 diabetes in the primary care setting. Five electronic databases were searched using strict inclusion/exclusion criteria. The quality of eligible studies was appraised using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Findings show the trend has been away from using sulfonylurea and towards the use of metformin. The introduction of newer drugs has not shifted treatment outcomes and glycaemic control. It was not possible to determine how clinicians make choices about the medicines they prescribe for T2DM, or what influences those choices.

A population-based analysis of antidiabetic medications in four Canadian provinces: Secular trends and prescribing patterns. Pharmacoepidemiol Drug Saf 2019; 29 Suppl 1:86-92. [PMID: 31464069 DOI: 10.1002/pds.4878] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2018] [Revised: 05/14/2019] [Accepted: 07/09/2019] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To use the Canadian Network for Observational Drug Effect Studies (CNODES) to describe drug utilization of antidiabetic medications in four Canadian provinces. METHODS With the use of data from CNODES, we constructed cohorts of patients with type 2 diabetes in four Canadian provinces (Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, and Saskatchewan) who received their first-ever prescription for a noninsulin antidiabetic medication during the study period, defined as the earliest date of data availability in each province (range: 1993-1998) to the latest date of the data extraction in each province (range: 2013-2014). Prescriptions rates were calculated for all prescriptions by class and described over time. RESULTS Across provinces, we identified 650 830 patients who initiated antidiabetic medications during the study period. In most provinces, the overall prescription rate of antidiabetic medications increased during the last two decades. Metformin particularly increased in popularity, surpassing sulfonylureas in all provinces as the most widely prescribed antidiabetic medication by the early 2000s. Thiazolidinediones grew in popularity from the onset of their availability until 2006 to 2007, at which point they rapidly declined. Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors saw substantial growth in several provinces following their addition to provincial formularies in 2008 to 2012, while glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists experienced modest growth. Insulin prescription rates remained constant or steadily increased over the last two decades. CONCLUSIONS CNODES can be used for cross-jurisdictional drug utilization studies. In Canada, trends in antidiabetic medication prescriptions followed changing guidelines reflecting up-to-date knowledge of drug effectiveness and safety.

Abstract
The present study investigated the protective effect of hesperidin on carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Hesperidin was administered to streptozotocin-induced (40 mg/kg b.w.) diabetic rats at different dosages of (25, 50, 100 mg/kg b.w.) respectively for 30 days to evaluate its effect on fasting plasma glucose, insulin, glycosylated hemoglobin, hemoglobin, and carbohydrate metabolic enzymes. The plasma glucose levels were significantly reduced in a dose-dependent manner in hesperdin-treated group of rats when compared to the diabetic control rats. In addition, concomitant increase in hemoglobin and insulin levels and a decrease in glycosylated hemoglobin were observed in treated group of rats. The activities of the hepatic key enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism such as hexokinase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase were significantly increased, whereas glucose-6-phosphatase and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase were significantly decreased. Furthermore, hesperidin administration prevented the loss in body weight and improved the glycogen content in the hepatic tissue of diabetic animals by reinstating the activities of glycogen synthase and glycogen phosphorylase. These results showed that hesperidin has potential antihyperglycemic activity in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. This was further supported by the histological studies of pancreas and liver.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Several new antidiabetic drugs have been introduced in Taiwan. However, the trends in antidiabetic treatment remain unexamined. METHODS We studied data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Database to identify outpatient prescriptions for antidiabetic drugs from 2005 to 2014. The patterns in antidiabetic treatment and the number of different classes of antidiabetic drugs were analyzed. The proportions of prescriptions of antidiabetic monotherapy, combination therapy, or insulin therapy were further analyzed. RESULTS The total and mean prescriptions gradually increased during the study period. Prescription of oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) only or insulin-only therapy decreased slightly. Prescriptions of monotherapy and dual therapy decreased, whereas those of triple or higher order combinations increased. Prescriptions of sulfonylureas (SUs) decreased, whereas those of metformin and dipeptidyl peptidease-4 (DPP4) inhibitors increased. Insulin prescriptions increased but accounted for only 13.07% of prescriptions in 2014. Among monotherapy prescriptions, SU prescriptions decreased, but metformin and DPP4 inhibitor prescriptions increased. Among dual OAD prescriptions, those including SUs decreased, and those of metformin and DPP4 inhibitors increased. Although prescriptions of the metformin-SU combination decreased, they remained the most common among all dual OAD prescriptions, followed by the metformin-DPP4 inhibitor combination. Prescriptions of human insulin decreased and those of insulin analogs increased considerably; those of basal insulin increased, and those of mixed insulin decreased. However, mixed insulin was prescribed more than basal-bolus insulin. CONCLUSION Antidiabetic treatment has become complex in Taiwan. Although combination therapy would become the major treatment strategy gradually, the underuse of insulin therapy must improve.
