Saxagliptin (1 mg/kg; for 12 weeks) treatment in high-fat diet/streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, significant improvement in pancreas insulin secretion capacity evaluated by hyperglycemia clamp and increased β-cell to α-cell areas ratio are observed^[1].
Saxagliptin dose-dependently inhibits plasma DPP-4 activity in Han-Wistar rats, by ~70% at 7 hours postdose with 1 mg/kg and by ~90% at 7 hours postdose with 10 mg/kg. At 24 hours postdose, ~20% and 70% inhibition, respectively, remained^[2].
