Effect of Linagliptin on Vascular Function: A Randomized, Placebo-controlled Study

Abstract

This study demonstrates that linagliptin tends to improve endothelial and neurovascular microvascular function and is associated with decreased markers of inflammation in patients with type 2 diabetes. There was no significant effect of linagliptin on mitochondrial function, macrovascular function, or endothelial progenitor cells.
