Q

what are biguanides and what is their mechanism of action?

adverse effects?

A

metformin!

increased insulin sensitivitiy

decreased heopatic gluconeogenesis

increased risk of lactic acidosis – dont use in patients with renal failure

impaired b12 absorption – check annually

Q

mechanism of DPP4 inhibitors

A

DPP4 usually inhibits incretins/GLP-1; inhibition of DPP4 causes a rise in serum incretin!

sitagliptin, saxagliptin, vildagliptin,

sitar, saxaphone, violin - griffin

used in type II diabetes where post-prandial incretin release is diminished

Q

name the GLP-1 receptor agonists

mechanism

A

exenatide, liraglutide

act as agonists at incretin/GLP-1 receptors causing:

  • an increase in post-prandial insulin secretion,
  • suppression of postprandial glucagon,
  • slow gastric emptying,
  • increasing satiety

Q

where are SGLT-2 receptors?

what drugs selectively inhibit these?

A

they are in the kidneys! they usually reabsorb lots of glucose

inhibitors, like invokana, farxiga, will cause an osmotic diuresis and decrease in blood glucose
