摘要:
Novel therapeutic regimens are provided which comprise the administration of therapeutically effective amounts of an inhibitor to dipeptidyl peptidase (DP-IV) or enzymes of similar activity whereby their ability to degrade the incretins, GLP-1 and GIP, is reduced. As a result hyperglycemia, such as that accompanying food intake may be reduced due to improved insulin release. A preferred therapeutic regimen amongst a number of routes of administration and inhibitors that may be used comprises the oral administration of isoleucyl thiazolidine.
摘要:
The present invention comprises the use of activity-reducing effectors of dipeptidyl peptidase (DP IV) and DP IV-analogous enzyme activity in the blood of a mammal to lower elevated post-prandial and basal blood glucose levels in mammalian organisms. The invention further comprises the use of activity-reducing effectors of dipeptidyl peptidase (DP IV) and DP IV-analogous enzyme activity in the blood of a mammal to increase the half-life of incretins in vivo.

摘要:
A method of raising the blood sugar level in a mammal having hypoglycemia is described. The method reduces degradation of glucagon by administering to the mammal a therapeutically effective amount of an inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase IV and physiologically acceptable adjuvants and/or excipients.
