Circulating dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 activity correlates with measures of hepatocyte apoptosis and fibrosis in non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity: A dual cohort cross‐sectional study

Abstract

In diabetes and/or obesity, cDPP4 activity is associated with current apoptosis and liver fibrosis. Given the pathogenic mechanisms by which DPP4 may progress NAFLD, measurement of cDPP4 activity may have utility to predict disease progression and DPP4 inhibition may improve liver histology over time.
