These agents, which effective improving glucose control, could also have a beneficial effect the incidence of cardiovascular events.

Longer-term specifically designed assess GLP-1 DPP4 ongoing.Scope:In order elucidate potential mechanisms protection incretin-based therapies, Medline search (any date up December 15th, 2011) was performed using terms ‘cardiovascular’ (‘DPP-4’ or ‘GLP-1’ any single name drugs); papers were considered relevant for...
