Pharmacology
Insulin analog; regulates glucose metabolism by stimulating peripheral glucose uptake by skeletal muscle and fat and inhibiting hepatic glucose production, while also inhibiting lipolysis and proteolysis and enhancing protein synthesis.
Linagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that increases active incretin hormones (GLP-1 and GIP), stimulating glucose-dependent insulin release and reducing glucagon secretion; metformin is a biguanide that decreases hepatic glucose production, reduces intestinal glucose absorption, and improves peripheral insulin sensitivity.
