Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease
with complicated complex pathogenesis. Frequency of
newly DM arises worldwide and associated with steadily
increased morbidity and mortality due to DM-related
complications. The incretin-based drugs are posed as
remedies modulated effects of natural incretin hormones:
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1), GIP (glucose-dependent
insulinotropic peptide) and dipeptidyl peptidase enzyme 4
(DPP4). At the beginning of the era of the incretin-based
therapy the treatment of T2DM with GLP-1 analogs and
DPP-4 inhibitors was introduced. In fact, incretin-based
drug exposure was associated with clinically significant
cardiovascular protection. However, it is not known
whether all GLP-1 analogs and DPP-4 inhibitors are
similar in their capacities to improve cardiovascular
outcomes or not that is required a continuous studies in
this direction.
