Abstract EN
The authors discuss the strategy of use of incretin hormones in type 2 diabetes treatment in the context of cardiovascular complications.
The results of the phase III study on human GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide-1) analogue-liraglutide have been presented under common acronym LEAD (Liraglutide-Effect and Action In Diabetes).
The liraglutide therapy improved glycemic control with low hypoglycemia risk and decreased glycated hemoglobin by an average 1,13%.
Decreases in systolic pressure and significant body weight loss were observed.
Not only did the index describing beta cells function HOMA-B improve but also did the ratio of insulin to proinsulin.
Summing up, incretin hormones beneficially influence blood glucose level, moreover, their use decreases blood pressure and body weight which might indicate their positive influence on cardiovascular system in diabetic patients.
