|
Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors
|
Inhibits pancreatic alpha-amylase and intestinal alpha-glucoside hydrolase, delaying glucose absorption
|
|
|
Metformin
|
Decreases hepatic glucose production and intestinal glucose absorption; increases insulin sensitivity
|
|
|
DPP-4 Inhibitors (incretin enhancers)
|
Inhibits dipeptidyl peptidase-4, slowing incretin metabolism, increasing insulin synthesis/release, decreasing glucagon levels
|
|
|
Insulin
|
Stimulates peripheral glucose uptake, inhibits hepatic glucose production, inhibits lipolysis and proteolysis, regulating glucose metabolism
|
|
|
Sulfonylureas
|
Stimulates pancreatic islet beta cell insulin release
|
|
|
Thiazolidinediones
|
Increases insulin sensitivity
|
|
|
Incretin mimetic (exenatide)
|
Activates glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor, increasing insulin secretion, decreasing glucagon secretion, and delaying gastric emptying (incretin mimetic)
|
|
|
Meglitinide
|
Stimulates pancreatic islet beta cell insulin release
|
