Question
Chapter 22.6, Problem 19CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The use of sitagliptin in the treatment of diabetes.
Introduction: Diabetes is categorized into two types: type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is insulin dependent diabetes. People who have diabetes have reduced the production of insulin in their body leading to a delayed response to ingested glucose. In some cases, both resistance to insulin as well as reduced secretion of insulin is seen.

- Metformin is a commonly used treatment for type 2 diabetes. The active compound was isolated from the french lilac plant and was first used in the 1770s to treat individuals with excessive thirst and frequent urination (LaMoia & Shulman, 2020). Its exact mechanism of action is still under debate, but it ultimately works to lower blood glucose levels. Which of the following proposed mechanisms could explain how metformin works?

Glycogen synthesis is activated b. PFK is stabilized in the R-state and glycolysis is activated c. GLUT4 (transporters) are increased in concentration at the plasma membrane d. Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate increased levels aid in stabilization of the T-state fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase e. Gluconeogenesis is activated in response to elevated fructose 2,6-bisphosphate levels f.
