In addition to the common clinical manifestations shared with CCDS1, CCDS2 is characterized by specific behavioral disorders, including autistic behavior and self-mutilation [39]
The exact mechanism how DPP4 inhibitors augment insulin secretion and increase -cell mass in vitro and in vivo is still not fully understood, since not all these effects could be explained by elevated GLP-1 level or improved glycemic control associated with less glucotoxicity
Despite headline-grabbing clinical results (up to 22% weight loss in trials), studies show average weight reduction in routine care is typically 28% after a year, with only about one third of patients achieving greater than 5% loss
The mechanisms involved in the beneficial actions of GLP-1 receptor agonists on MASLD are indirect, given the virtual absence of GLP-1R in hepatocytes, except for those in T cells which are associated with anti-inflammatory effect.9 These include fat mass reduction, increased hepatic insulin sensitivity, reduced tissue lipotoxicity, anti-inflammatory effect and improved mitochondrial function32 (Fig
