The discovery or design of native (exenatide) or engineered GLP-1 analogues that escape DPP-4 degradation and have a prolonged half-life, as well as DPP-4 inhibitors, have markedly improved the therapeutic landscape of type 2 diabetes over the last 13 years
In the Exenatide Once Weekly Plus Dapagliflozin Once Daily Versus Exenatide or Dapagliflozin Alone in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Inadequately Controlled With Metformin Monotherapy (DURATION-8) study the largest and longest clinical trial of SGLT-2i and GLP-1RA combination therapy to date patients with T2D on metformin monotherapy were randomized to 52 weeks of double-blind treatment with exenatide QW plus dapagliflozin (n = 228), exenatide QW plus placebo (n = 227), or dapagliflozin plus placebo (n = 230) [Citation61]
Recent clinical trials have examined the use of GLP-1s in resolving many other issues commonly related to obesity, including heart disease, sleep apnea and kidney disease
Epac protein possesses carboxyl-terminal catalytic regions, which comprise CDC-25 homology GEF domain (CDC25-HD), Ras association (RA) domain, and Ras exchange motif (REM) domain, as well as the amino-terminal regulatory regions including cAMP-binding domain (cNBDs) and a disheveled, Egl-10, pleckstrin (DEP) domain (Bos, 2006)
