Abstract
Metabolic effects of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are confounded by weight loss and not fully recapitulated by increasing endogenous GLP-1. We tested the hypothesis that GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists exert weight loss-independent, GLP-1R-dependent effects that differ from effects of increasing endogenous GLP-1. Individuals with obesity and prediabetes were randomized to receive for 14 weeks the GLP-1R agonist liraglutide, a hypocaloric diet, or the dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitor sitagliptin. The GLP-1R antagonist exendin(9-39) and placebo were administered in a two-by-two crossover study during mixed-meal tests. Liraglutide and diet, but not sitagliptin, caused weight loss. Liraglutide improved insulin sensitivity measured by HOMA for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), the updated HOMA model (HOMA2), and the Matsuda index after 2 weeks, prior to weight loss. Liraglutide decreased fasting and postprandial glucose levels, and decreased insulin, C-peptide, and fasting glucagon levels. In contrast, diet-induced weight loss improved insulin sensitivity by HOMA-IR and HOMA2, but not the Matsuda index, and did not decrease glucose levels. Sitagliptin increased endogenous GLP-1 and GIP values without altering insulin sensitivity or fasting glucose levels, but decreased postprandial glucose and glucagon levels. Notably, sitagliptin increased GIP without altering weight. Acute GLP-1R antagonism increased glucose levels in all groups, increased the Matsuda index and fasting glucagon level during liraglutide treatment, and increased endogenous GLP-1 values during liraglutide and sitagliptin treatments. Thus, liraglutide exerts rapid, weight loss-independent, GLP-1R-dependent effects on insulin sensitivity that are not achieved by increasing endogenous GLP-1. ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS Metabolic benefits of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are confounded by weight loss and are not fully achieved by increasing endogenous GLP-1 through dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibition. We investigated weight loss-independent, GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R)-dependent metabolic effects of liraglutide versus a hypocaloric diet or the DPP-4 inhibitor sitagliptin. GLP-1R antagonism with exendin(9-39) was used to assess GLP-1R-dependent effects during mixed meals. Liraglutide improved insulin sensitivity and decreased fasting and postprandial glucose prior to weight loss, and these benefits were reversed by exendin(9-39). GLP-1R agonists exert rapid, weight loss-independent, GLP-1R-dependent effects on insulin sensitivity not achieved by increasing endogenous GLP-1.

Abstract
Hesperidin and hesperetin are polyphenols that can be found predominantly in citrus fruits. They possess a variety of pharmacological properties such as neuroprotective and antidiabetic activity. However, the bioavailability of these compounds is limited due to low solubility and restricts their use as pro-healthy agents. This paper described the limitations resulting from the low bioavailability of the presented compounds and gathered the methods aiming at its improvement. Moreover, this work reviewed studies providing pieces of evidence for neuroprotective and antidiabetic properties of hesperidin and hesperetin as well as providing a detailed look into the significance of reported modes of action in chronic diseases. On account of a well-documented pro-healthy activity, it is important to look for ways to overcome the problem of poor bioavailability.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 (DPP-4) is an enzyme having various properties and physiological roles in lipid accumulation, resistance to anticancer agents, and immune stimulation. DPP-4 includes membrane-bound peptidases and is a kind of enzyme that cleaves alanine or proline-containing peptides such as incretins, chemokines, and appetite-suppressing hormones (neuropeptide) at their N-terminal dipeptides. DPP-4 plays a role in the final breakdown of peptides produced by other endo and exo-peptidases from nutritious proteins and their absorption in these tissues. DPP-4 enzyme activity has different modes of action on glucose metabolism, hunger regulation, gastrointestinal motility, immune system function, inflammation, and pain regulation. According to the literature survey, as DPP-4 levels increase in individuals with liver conditions, up-regulation of hepatic DPP-4 expression is likely to be the cause of glucose intolerance or insulin resistance. This review majorly focuses on the cleavage of alanine or proline-containing peptides such as incretins by the DPP-4 and its resulting conditions like glucose intolerance and cause of DPP-4 level elevation due to some liver conditions. Thus, we have discussed the various effects of DPP-4 on the liver diseases like hepatitis C, non-alcoholic fatty liver, hepatic regeneration and stem cell, hepatocellular carcinoma, and the impact of elevated DPP-4 levels in association with liver diseases as a cause of glucose intolerance and their treatment drug of choices. In addition, the effect of DPP-4 inhibitors on obesity and their negative aspects are also discussed in brief.

Abstract
The goal of the study was to evaluate the effect of adding linagliptin to metformin and lifestyle on glucose levels and pancreatic β-cell function in patients with persistent impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) after 12 months of metformin and lifestyle. A single center parallel double-blind randomized clinical trial with 6 months of follow-up was performed in patients with persistent IGT after 12 months of treatment with metformin and lifestyle; patients were randomized to continue with metformin 850 mg twice daily (M group, n = 12) or linagliptin/metformin 2.5/850 mg twice daily (LM group, n = 19). Anthropometric measurements were obtained by standard methods and by bioelectrical impedance; glucose was measured by dry chemistry, insulin by chemiluminescence, and pancreatic β-cell function was calculated with the disposition index using glucose and insulin values during oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and adjusting by insulin sensitivity. The main outcomes were glucose levels during OGTT and pancreatic β-cell function. Patients in the LM group had a reduction in weight (-1.7 ± 0.6, p < 0.05) and body mass index (BMI, -0.67 ± 0.2, p < 0.05). Glucose levels significantly improved in LM group with a greater reduction in the area under the glucose curve during OGTT (AUCGluc0_120min) as compared to the M group (-4425 ± 871 vs -1116 ± 1104 mg/dl/120 min, p < 0.001). Pancreatic β-cell function measured with the disposition index, improved only in LM group (2.3 ± 0.23 vs 1.7 ± 0.27, p 0.001); these improvements persisted after controlling for OGTT glucose levels. The differences in pancreatic β-cell function persisted also after pairing groups for basal AUCGluc0_120min. The addition of linagliptin to patients with persistent IGT after 12 months of treatment with metformin and lifestyle, improved glucose levels during OGTT and pancreatic β-cell function after 6 months of treatment.Trial registration: Clinicaltrials.gov with the ID number NCT04088461.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prediabetes is a highly prevalent health problem with a high risk of complications and progression to type 2 diabetes (T2D). The goals of this study were to evaluate the effect of the combination of lingaliptin + metformin + lifestyle on glucose tolerance, pancreatic β-cell function and T2D incidence in patients with prediabetes. METHODS A single center parallel double-blind randomized clinical trial with 24 months of follow-up in patients with impaired glucose tolerance plus two T2D risk factors which were randomized to linagliptin 5 mg + metformin 1700 mg daily + lifestyle (LM group) or metformin 1700 mg daily + lifestyle (M group). Primary outcomes were regression to normoglycemia and T2D incidence; glucose levels and pancreatic β-cell function were secondary outcomes. RESULTS Subjects were screened for eligibility by OGTT and 144 patients with prediabetes were randomized to LM group (n = 74) or M group (n = 70); 52 and 36 participants in the LM group and 52 and 27 participants in the M group, completed the 12 and 24 months of treatment, respectively; average follow-up was 17 ± 6 and 18 ± 7 months in M and LM group, respectively. Glucose levels during OGTT improved more in LM group. OGTT disposition index (DI) improved significantly better during the first months in LM group, increasing from 1·31 (95% CI: 1·14-1·49) to 2·41 (95% CI: 2.10-2.72) and to 2.07 (95% CI: 1.82-2.31) at 6 and 24 months in LM group vs from 1.21 (95% CI: 0.98-1.34) to 1.56 (95% CI: 1.17-1.95) and to 1.72 (95% CI: 1.45-1.98) at 6 and 24 months in M group (p < .05). T2D incidence was higher in M group in comparison to LM group (HR 4.0, 95% CI: 1.24-13.04, p = .020). The probability of achieving normoglycemia was higher in LM group (OR 3.26 CI 95% 1.55-6.84). No major side effects were observed during the study. CONCLUSIONS The combination of linagliptin, metformin and lifestyle improved significantly glucose metabolism and pancreatic β-cell function, and reduced T2D incidence in subjects with prediabetes as compared to metformin and lifestyle.

Abstract
Reactive hypoglycemia (RH) is the condition of postprandially hypoglycemia occurring 2-5 hours after food intake. RH is clinically seen in three different forms as follows: idiopathic RH (at 180 min), alimentary (within 120 min), and late RH (at 240–300 min). When the first-phase insulin response decreases, firstly, blood glucose starts to rise after the meal. This leads to late but excessive secretion of the second-phase insulin secretion. Thus, late reactive hypoglycemia occurs. Elevated insulin levels also cause down-regulation of the insulin post-receptor on the muscle and fat cells, thus decreasing insulin sensitivity. The cause of the increase in insulin sensitivity in IRH at 3 h is not completely clear. However, there is a decrease in insulin sensitivity in late reactive hypoglycaemia at 4 or 5 hours. Thus, patients with hypoglycemia at 4 or 5 h who have a family history of diabetes and obesity may be more susceptible to diabetes than patients with hypoglycemia at 3 h. We believe that some cases with normal glucose tolerance in OGTT should be considered as prediabetes at <55 or 60 mg/dl after 4-5 hours after OGTT. Metformin and AGI therapy may be recommended if there is late RH with IFG. Also Metformin, AGİ, TZD, DPP-IVInhibitors, GLP1RA therapy may be recommended if there is late RH with IGT. As a result, postprandial RH (<55 or 60 mg/dl), especially after 4 hours may predict diabetes. Therefore, people with RH along with weight gain and with diabetes history in the family will benefit from a lifestyle modification as well as the appropriate antidiabetic approach in the prevention of diabetes.

Abstract
Prediabetes is a condition which appears prior to the development of diabetes in which blood glucose is abnormally high but do not reach the diagnostic threshold of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is characterized by a cluster of metabolic abnormalities viz. dysglycemia, dyslipidemia, hypertension, physical inactivity, obesity, insulin resistance, procoagulant state, endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress and inflammation, placing prediabetic subjects to an increased risk for diabetes and its complications. Recent studies demonstrate that complications of diabetes i.e. microvascular and macrovascular complications may manifest in some prediabetic subjects. This article reviews prediabetes-related risk factors and health issues. In addition, this article also highlights the interventions to prevent the development of diabetes in prediabetic subjects.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of sitagliptin on glucose tolerance, plasma lipids, energy expenditure and metabolism of brown adipose tissue (BAT), white adipose tissue (WAT) and skeletal muscle in overweight individuals with prediabetes (impaired glucose tolerance and/or impaired fasting glucose). METHODS We performed a randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial in 30 overweight, Europid men (age 45.9 ± 6.2 years; BMI 28.8 ± 2.3 kg/m2) with prediabetes in the Leiden University Medical Center and the Alrijne Hospital between March 2015 and September 2016. Participants were initially randomly allocated to receive sitagliptin (100 mg/day) (n = 15) or placebo (n = 15) for 12 weeks, using a randomisation list that was set up by an unblinded pharmacist. All people involved in the study as well as participants were blinded to group assignment. Two participants withdrew from the study prior to completion (both in the sitagliptin group) and were subsequently replaced with two new participants that were allocated to the same treatment. Before and after treatment, fasting venous blood samples and skeletal muscle biopsies were obtained, OGTT was performed and body composition, resting energy expenditure and [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG) uptake by metabolic tissues were assessed. The primary study endpoint was the effect of sitagliptin on BAT volume and activity. RESULTS One participant from the sitagliptin group was excluded from analysis, due to a distribution error, leaving 29 participants for further analysis. Sitagliptin, but not placebo, lowered glucose excursion (-40%; p < 0.003) during OGTT, accompanied by an improved insulinogenic index (+38%; p < 0.003) and oral disposition index (+44%; p < 0.003). In addition, sitagliptin lowered serum concentrations of triacylglycerol (-29%) and very large (-46%), large (-35%) and medium-sized (-24%) VLDL particles (all p < 0.05). Body weight, body composition and energy expenditure did not change. In skeletal muscle, sitagliptin increased mRNA expression of PGC1β (also known as PPARGC1B) (+117%; p < 0.05), a main controller of mitochondrial oxidative energy metabolism. Although the primary endpoint of change in BAT volume and activity was not met, sitagliptin increased [18F] FDG uptake in subcutaneous WAT (sWAT; +53%; p < 0.05). Reported side effects were mild and transient and not necessarily related to the treatment. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Twelve weeks of sitagliptin in overweight, Europid men with prediabetes improves glucose tolerance and lipid metabolism, as related to increased [18F] FDG uptake by sWAT, rather than BAT, and upregulation of the mitochondrial gene PGC1β in skeletal muscle. Studies on the effect of sitagliptin on preventing or delaying the progression of prediabetes into type 2 diabetes are warranted. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02294084. FUNDING This study was funded by Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp, Dutch Heart Foundation, Dutch Diabetes Research Foundation, Ministry of Economic Affairs and the University of Granada.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Prediabetes is a state wherein blood glucose levels are above normal but below the diagnostic threshold for diabetes. Seventy percent of patients with prediabetes develop type 2 diabetes in their lifetime. Despite this, prediabetes frequently goes undiagnosed. AREAS COVERED This review focuses on the pharmacological treatment of prediabetes and the prevention of progression to diabetes. A literature search was carried out on PubMed and Embase to review randomized controlled trials examining treatment of prediabetes. Emerging pharmacological therapies with potential benefit are discussed. EXPERT OPINION Lifestyle intervention is the cornerstone for preventing progression to diabetes, but metformin remains the first line pharmacological intervention. There appears to be minimal additive effect of combining metformin with lifestyle changes. It would be interesting to assess whether using combination pharmacological approaches plus or minus lifestyle interventions have any additive benefit. Despite the good level of evidence available, the penetrance of any interventions remains very low in part due to the prodromal categorization of the prediabetic state.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors are newly established anti-diabetic agents with a unique glucose-lowering mechanism. In the present study, we investigated the efficacy and safety of the sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor ipragliflozin (Ipra) for metabolic markers and cardiovascular parameters in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study was an investigator-initiated, open-label, single-arm, multicenter prospective study. Patients with T2DM were treated with 50 mg Ipra for 24 and 52 weeks. The primary outcome investigated was the reduction of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level. The secondary outcome was the change in other metabolic and cardiovascular parameters by 24 weeks. Before and after 52 weeks of treatment, carotid intima-media thickening (IMT) was measured by echography. A total of 134 patients were recruited in the study. A 24-week treatment with 50 mg Ipra daily significantly reduced HbA1c level (-0.6%, p < 0.01). Body mass index (BMI), blood pressure and serum C-peptide were reduced significantly (p < 0.05), while serum glucagon level was unchanged. Interestingly, the serum adiponectin and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels were significantly increased by Ipra. However, 52 weeks of Ipra treatment did not change carotid IMT. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the only significant contributing factor for HbA1c reduction by Ipra was baseline HbA1c level. These data suggest that Ipra decreased not only glucose level but also BMI, blood pressure and serum C-peptide, and the contributing factor for HbA1c reduction by Ipra was baseline HbA1c level. Further, Ipra improved serum adiponectin and HDL cholesterol levels.

Abstract
This study compared dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitory activity of citrus bioflavonoid nutraceuticals compared with three gliptins. Citrus bioflavonoid standards and three commercially available citrus bioflavonoid supplements (Thompson's Super Bioflavonoid Complex®(SB), Ethical Nutrients Bioflavonoids Plus Vitamin C®(EN), and Country Life Citrus Bioflavonoids and Rutin®(CB)) were considered in this study. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) analysis was undertaken to identify and quantitate the citrus bioflavonoids present in each supplement. The DPP-4 inhibitory activity was determined by fluorometric assay. All of the tested individual citrus flavonoids demonstrated DPP-4 inhibitory activity, with IC50 values ranging from 485 μM (rutin) to 5700 μM (hesperitin and eriodictyol). Similarly, the flavonoid supplements had IC50 values of 16.9 mg/mL (EN), 3.44 mg/mL (SB) and 2.72 mg/mL (CB). These values compare with gliptin IC50 values of 0.684 μM (sitagliptin), 0.707 μM (saxagliptin) and 2.286 μM (vildagliptin). The supplement flavonoid content varied from 11.98% (CB) to 5.26% (EN) and 14.51% (SB) of tablet mass, corresponding to daily flavonoid doses of around 300, 150 and 400 mg, respectively, with CB and SB containing rutin at levels of 7.0% and 7.5% of tablet mass, respectively. While our data demonstrated that citrus bioflavonoid based supplements do possess DPP-4 inhibitory activity, they are several orders of magnitude less potent than gliptins. Further studies using higher concentrations of citrus bioflavonoids, as well as investigations into antioxidant properties which may add additional benefit are warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The projected rise in the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) could develop into a substantial health problem worldwide. Whether dipeptidyl-peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitors or glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 analogues are able to prevent or delay T2DM and its associated complications in people at risk for the development of T2DM is unknown. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of DPP-4 inhibitors and GLP-1 analogues on the prevention or delay of T2DM and its associated complications in people with impaired glucose tolerance, impaired fasting blood glucose, moderately elevated glycosylated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) or any combination of these. SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials; MEDLINE; PubMed; Embase; ClinicalTrials.gov; the World Health Organization (WHO) International Clinical Trials Registry Platform; and the reference lists of systematic reviews, articles and health technology assessment reports. We asked investigators of the included trials for information about additional trials. The date of the last search of all databases was January 2017. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) with a duration of 12 weeks or more comparing DPP-4 inhibitors and GLP-1 analogues with any pharmacological glucose-lowering intervention, behaviour-changing intervention, placebo or no intervention in people with impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance, moderately elevated HbA1c or combinations of these. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors read all abstracts and full-text articles and records, assessed quality and extracted outcome data independently. One review author extracted data which were checked by a second review author. We resolved discrepancies by consensus or the involvement of a third review author. For meta-analyses, we planned to use a random-effects model with investigation of risk ratios (RRs) for dichotomous outcomes and mean differences (MDs) for continuous outcomes, using 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for effect estimates. We assessed the overall quality of the evidence using the GRADE instrument. MAIN RESULTS We included seven completed RCTs; about 98 participants were randomised to a DPP-4 inhibitor as monotherapy and 1620 participants were randomised to a GLP-1 analogue as monotherapy. Two trials investigated a DPP-4 inhibitor and five trials investigated a GLP-1 analogue. A total of 924 participants with data on allocation to control groups were randomised to a comparator group; 889 participants were randomised to placebo and 33 participants to metformin monotherapy. One RCT of liraglutide contributed 85% of all participants. The duration of the intervention varied from 12 weeks to 160 weeks. We judged none of the included trials at low risk of bias for all 'Risk of bias' domains and did not perform meta-analyses because there were not enough trials.One trial comparing the DPP-4 inhibitor vildagliptin with placebo reported no deaths (very low-quality evidence). The incidence of T2DM by means of WHO diagnostic criteria in this trial was 3/90 participants randomised to vildagliptin versus 1/89 participants randomised to placebo (very low-quality evidence). Also, 1/90 participants on vildagliptin versus 2/89 participants on placebo experienced a serious adverse event (very low-quality evidence). One out of 90 participants experienced congestive heart failure in the vildagliptin group versus none in the placebo group (very low-quality evidence). There were no data on non-fatal myocardial infarction, stroke, health-related quality of life or socioeconomic effects reported.All-cause and cardiovascular mortality following treatment with GLP-1 analogues were rarely reported; one trial of exenatide reported that no participant died. Another trial of liraglutide 3.0 mg showed that 2/1501 in the liraglutide group versus 2/747 in the placebo group died after 160 weeks of treatment (very low-quality evidence).The incidence of T2DM following treatment with liraglutide 3.0 mg compared to placebo after 160 weeks was 26/1472 (1.8%) participants randomised to liraglutide versus 46/738 (6.2%) participants randomised to placebo (very low-quality evidence). The trial established the risk for (diagnosis of) T2DM as HbA1c 5.7% to 6.4% (6.5% or greater), fasting plasma glucose 5.6 mmol/L or greater to 6.9 mmol/L or less (7.0 mmol/L or greater) or two-hour post-load plasma glucose 7.8 mmol/L or greater to 11.0 mmol/L (11.1 mmol/L). Altogether, 70/1472 (66%) participants regressed from intermediate hyperglycaemia to normoglycaemia compared with 268/738 (36%) participants in the placebo group. The incidence of T2DM after the 12-week off-treatment extension period (i.e. after 172 weeks) showed that five additional participants were diagnosed T2DM in the liraglutide group, compared with one participant in the placebo group. After 12-week treatment cessation, 740/1472 (50%) participants in the liraglutide group compared with 263/738 (36%) participants in the placebo group had normoglycaemia.One trial used exenatide and 2/17 participants randomised to exenatide versus 1/16 participants randomised to placebo developed T2DM (very low-quality evidence). This trial did not provide a definition of T2DM. One trial reported serious adverse events in 230/1524 (15.1%) participants in the liraglutide 3.0 mg arm versus 96/755 (12.7%) participants in the placebo arm (very low quality evidence). There were no serious adverse events in the trial using exenatide. Non-fatal myocardial infarction was reported in 1/1524 participants in the liraglutide arm and in 0/55 participants in the placebo arm at 172 weeks (very low-quality evidence). One trial reported congestive heart failure in 1/1524 participants in the liraglutide arm and in 1/755 participants in the placebo arm (very low-quality evidence). Participants receiving liraglutide compared with placebo had a small mean improvement in the physical component of the 36-item Short Form scale showing a difference of 0.87 points (95% CI 0.17 to 1.58; P = 0.02; 1 trial; 1791 participants; very low-quality evidence). No trial evaluating GLP-1-analogues reported data on stroke, microvascular complications or socioeconomic effects. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS There is no firm evidence that DPP-4 inhibitors or GLP-1 analogues compared mainly with placebo substantially influence the risk of T2DM and especially its associated complications in people at increased risk for the development of T2DM. Most trials did not investigate patient-important outcomes.

Abstract
Background Mean amplitude of glycemic excursion (MAGE) is commonly used to gauge the degree of glucose level fluctuations. MAGE plays a significant role in vascular endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), but its significance is not clear in non‐DM patients. Thus, we examined the impact of MAGE and vascular endothelial dysfunction on clinical outcomes in non‐DM patients with coronary artery disease. Methods and Results We followed non‐DM patients (n=65) for 12 months who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention and assessed the relationship among MAGE, reactive hyperemia index (RHI) measured by reactive hyperemia peripheral arterial tonometry as endothelial function, and cardiovascular events. Cardiovascular events analyzed were cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, and revascularizations. Compared with patients with MAGE <65 mg/dL (normal glycemic excursions), the group with MAGE ≥65 mg/dL (high glycemic excursions) had significantly higher high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein (0.10±0.11 mg/dL versus 0.18±0.13 mg/dL, P=0.006) and lower RHI (0.64±0.21 versus 0.51±0.22, P=0.035). The multivariable analysis identified high MAGE and low RHI (≤0.56) as risk factors associated with cardiovascular events (hazard ratio, 5.6; 95% RI, 1.72–18.4 [P=0.004] versus hazard ratio, 4.5; 95% RI, 1.37–14.9 [P=0.013]). When the prognosis was classified by combination with MAGE and RHI, the incidence of cardiovascular events was 46.7% (high MAGE+low RHI), 26.7% (high MAGE+high RHI), 20.0% (low MAGE+low RHI), and 6.6% (low MAGE+high RHI) in descending order (P=0.014). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed that MAGE, RHI, and MAGE+RHI were each associated with cardiovascular events (area under the curve 0.780, 0.727, and 0.796, respectively). Conclusions MAGE was associated with cardiovascular events in non‐DM patients with coronary artery disease. Furthermore, the combination with MAGE and RHI was useful for further subdivision of the risk of cardiovascular events.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION DPP-4 inhibitors are a class of compounds used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The drugs inhibit the degradation of GLP-1, thus amplifying the incretin effect. They have moderate glycemic efficacy, a low propensity of causing hypoglycaemia and are weight neutral. The drugs are often used as second line therapy after metformin. Areas covered: This review summarizes the available compounds in the market and discusses the novel compounds that are currently under development. Several large cardiovascular outcome trials with some of the compounds have been completed, and their results and implications are considered. Fixed dose combination pills are currently the main focus of research and the contribution of these to the care of patients with diabetes is further discussed. Expert opinion: The DPP-4 inhibitors have been a successful class in drug development for diabetes. Taken orally and available as fixed dose combinations with metformin or with SGLT-2 inhibitors, they have reached a large market share of over 7 billion dollars. Other than retagliptin, it does not appear that any additional compound will be launched soon. Currently, the main focus is on the development of additional fixed dose combinations with SGLT-2 inhibitors, but the success of these combinations remains to be seen.

Abstract
AIMS To compare the efficacy on glycemic parameters between a 12-week administration of once-daily linagliptin and thrice-daily voglibose in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS In a multi-center, randomized, parallel-group study, 382 patients with diabetes were randomized to the linagliptin group (n=192) or the voglibose group (n=190). A meal tolerance test was performed at weeks 0 and 12. Primary outcomes were the change from baseline to week 12 in serum glucose levels at 2h during the meal tolerance test, HbA1c levels, and serum fasting glucose levels, which were compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS Whereas changes in serum glucose levels at 2h during the meal tolerance test did not differ between the groups, the mean change in HbA1c levels from baseline to week 12 in the linagliptin group (-0.5±0.5% [-5.1±5.4mmol/mol]) was significantly larger than in the voglibose group (-0.2±0.5% [-2.7±5.4mmol/mol]). In addition, there was significant difference in changes in serum fasting glucose levels (-0.51±0.95mmol/L in the linagliptin group vs. -0.18±0.92mmol/L in the voglibose group, P<0.001). The incidences of hypoglycemia, serious adverse events (AEs), and discontinuations due to AEs were low and similar in both groups. However, gastrointestinal AEs were significantly lower in the linagliptin group (1.05% vs. 5.85%; P=0.01). CONCLUSIONS These data suggested that linagliptin monotherapy had a stronger glucose-lowering effect than voglibose monotherapy with respect to HbA1c and serum fasting glucose levels, but not serum glucose levels 2h after the start of the meal tolerance test.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glycemic variability after Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) has not been adequately examined in Chinese obese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate glucose variability after RYGB by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and then evaluate the remission rate based on the complete diabetes remission criteria combined with normal ranges of CGM for the Chinese population, which we defined as "dual-remission." SETTING The study was done at our academic university-affiliated hospital. METHODS Over a 3-day period, CGM was performed on 43 Chinese obese T2D patients combined with a mixed-meal test before and 1 year after RYGB. Mean amplitude of glucose excursions (MAGE), standard deviations (SD), and the time that patients' blood glucose levels were≥7.0 mmol/L,≥7.8 mmol/L,≥11.1 mmol/L, and≤3.9 mmol/L within 24 hours was analyzed. Multiple logistic regression analyses were used to identify predictors of "dual-remission." RESULTS Complete diabetes remission was achieved in 27 patients (62.8%) 1 year after RYGB. However, MAGE didn't change in the group, and only 18.6% patients met "dual-remission." Compared with patients in the complete remission group, patients in the dual-remission group had a shorter duration of diabetes, younger age, lower glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level, and no insulin usage at baseline. Correlation analysis showed MAGE after RYGB was positively correlated with diabetes duration (r = .43, P<.01). Multiple logistic regressions indicated a shorter duration was associated with a higher possibility to achieve dual-remission after adjusting for age, gender, HbA1c, and insulin therapy. CONCLUSION Glucose variability can't be effectively improved in most Chinese obese diabetic patients after RYGB. Shorter diabetes duration was associated with higher possibility to achieve "dual-remission."
