Sitagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor that controls blood glucose levels by protecting and enhancing endogenous enteroglycin.Glucose-dependent insulin-releasing peptides (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) are enteroglycins released in response to dietary intake.
GLP-1 and GIP can increase insulin synthesis and release from islet β cells through intracellular signaling pathways. GLP-1 can also reduce glucagon secretion from islet α cells and reduce hepatic glucose production.However, both GLP-1 and GIP are rapidly metabolized by DPP-4, resulting in the loss of their insulin-promoting effect.
