Furthermore, recent studies in both laboratory animals and humans increasingly sug-gest that moderate hyperhomocysteinemia impairs endothelial-dependent vasodilation (Bellamy et al, 1999
These agents work by stimulating insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner, suppressing glucagon release, slowing gastric emptying, and promoting satiety through central nervous system pathways
Those in between are considered to be at intermediate risk

The peptide mimetic DPP-4 inhibitors including vildagliptin, saxagliptin and teneligliptin, were identified by peptide-based substrate substitution experiments, while the non-peptide mimetic group such as sitagliptin, alogliptin and linagliptin, were derived from the inhibitor and initially found in random screening
Lack of FDA approval and standardized clinical data limits confirmed use in medical practice despite promising preclinical findings
