Mechanism of Action
Sitagliptin inhibits dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV), resulting in prolonged active incretin levels. Incretin hormones increases insulin synthesis and release from pancreatic ?-cells and reduces glucagon secretion from pancreatic ?-cells. Reduced glucagon secretion leads to decreased hepatic glucose production.
