eicosapentanoic

In a recent study by Takeshita et al., when vildagliptin was compared to liraglutide as a second line treatment after sitagliptin baseline levels of docosahexanoic acid but not eicosapentanoic acid demonstrated a significant predictive value for vildagliptin- mediated improvement in glycemic control independent of its effects on insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity [ 10 ].
