The Effect of Sitagliptin Versus Glibenclamide on Arterial Stiffness, Blood Pressure, Lipids, and Inflammation in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients

Abstract

Sitagliptin, but not glibenclamide, demonstrated a significant beneficial effect on BMI and triglyceride levels. However, arterial stiffness, blood pressure, oxidative stress, and inflammatory status were not significantly affected by adding sitagliptin or glibenclamide to metformin-treated type 2 diabetes patients.
