Comparison of Effects of α-Glucosidase Inhibitors and Glinide Drugs on Endothelial Dysfunction in Diabetic Patients With Coronary Artery Disease

Abstract

The ameliorating effect of α-GI on post-prandial hyperglycemia without stimulating insulin secretion may improve atherogenic dyslipidemia by reducing insulin resistance. These effects are associated with its beneficial impact on oxidative stress, consequently leading to an improvement in endothelial dysfunction.
