A physiologic and pharmacological basis for implementation of incretin hormones in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus Freeman JSMayo Clin Proc 2010[Dec]; 85 (12 Suppl): S5-S14Progressive deterioration of beta-cell function is a hallmark of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Together with increasing insulin resistance in peripheral tissues (in both the liver and the skeletal muscle), the inability of pancreatic insulin secretion to manage fasting and postprandial glucose levels results in hyperglycemia. Currently available oral antidiabetes agents improve glycemic parameters, but no single drug addresses the numerous pathophysiologic defects known to contribute to hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 DM. Dysregulation in the incretin system is another component of the pathophysiologic processes that lead to DM. Agents used to correct defects in the incretin system, such as glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists and dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors, offer the potential to restore glucose-dependent insulin secretion and improve beta-cell function. Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists also promote weight loss and provide beneficial effects on cardiovascular risk factors. A new approach that promotes the selection of pharmacotherapy for the treatment of patients with DM, with the goal of slowing or reversing the natural history of the disease, may be in order. Clinicians can select agents to address specific pathophysiologic defects to improve glycemia, with the hope of preventing the development of complications.|Administration, Oral[MESH]|Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2/*drug therapy/epidemiology/*physiopathology[MESH]|Dose-Response Relationship, Drug[MESH]|Drug Administration Schedule[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Glucagon-Like Peptide 1/metabolism[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Hypoglycemic Agents/*administration & dosage[MESH]|Incretins/*administration & dosage[MESH]|Injections, Subcutaneous[MESH]|Insulin Resistance/physiology[MESH]|Insulin/administration & dosage[MESH]|Islets of Langerhans/*drug effects/metabolism[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Risk Assessment[MESH]|Treatment Outcome[MESH] |
