An increase in serum level of the 25-(OH)D after supplementation was significant. However, if the subjects had higher serum levels of the 25-(OH)D before the supplementation, and if the supplementation lasted 8 instead of 6 weeks, the absolute increase in serum level of the 25-(OH)D was lower. Patients taking corticosteroids as inhalation or intranasally had a more intense effect of vitamin D3 …

Systematic reviews have also shown that DPP-4i are associated with reduced dementia risk via unknown mechanisms. To examine vildagliptin (DPP-4i) effects on the intestinal microbiota in T2D patients, plasma metabolomics were conducte…
This real-world study included patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), who were poorly glycemic controlled on premixed insulin therapy and were subsequently added vildagliptin. The control group consisted of patients who only had their insulin doses adjusted without adding vildagliptin, matched for age, diabetic duration, HbA1c, and BMI. All patients underwent FGM, glycated hemoglobin(Hb…
