Oral antihyperglycemic therapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus

Abstract: DIABETES MELLITUS IS A CHRONIC DISEASE that is growing in prevalence worldwide. Pharmacologic therapy is often necessary to achieve optimal glycemic control in the management of diabetes. Orally administered antihyperglycemic agents (OHAs) can be used either alone or in combination with other OHAs or insulin. The number of available OHAs has increased significantly in the last decade, which translates into more therapeutic options and complex decision-making for physicians. This review article is designed to h… Show more

“…Several studies have indeed shown that TZDs increase fracture risk (10,11). In contrast, metformin, another widely prescribed anti-diabetic drug (12), is osteogenic in vitro (13,14) and reduces the risk of fracture in DM patients (15), as well as inhibiting the bone loss induced by ovariectomy (OVX) in rats (16,17). However, our recent studies showed no beneficial effect of metformin on bone mass and fracture healing in rodents (18).…”

“…Metformin (MET) monotherapy is the standard first-line AHA; however, its use is limited in some patients due to poor gastrointestinal tolerability (1). In addition, patients with elevated baseline HbA 1c may have difficulty meeting glycemic targets with a single AHA (5,6). Thus, many people will require combination therapy with two or three AHAs to achieve individualized glycemic targets (1).…”

“…The mechanisms of action of these drugs include: reduction in hepatic glucose release, enhancement of insulin secretion and sensitivity as well as inhibition of intestinal glucose absorp-tion. [66] Although the present study has shown that extracts of V. amygdalina, A. indica and M. oleifera caused marginal short-term efficacy, oral administration of ethanolic extract of Berberis lyceum (Royle) has previously been demonstrated to possessing substantial short-term acting capacity to ameliorate elevated blood glucose in alloxan induced diabetic rats within 180 min. [67] They further noted that ethanol extracts of B. lyceum yielded slightly better results compared to equivalent aqueous extracts.…”
