Acute Effects of Metformin and Vildagliptin after a Lipid-Rich Meal on Postprandial Microvascular Reactivity in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity: A Randomized Trial.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity are both related to endothelial dysfunction. Postprandial lipemia is a cardiovascular risk. Notably, it is known that a high-fat diet may elicit microvascular dysfunction, even in healthy subjects. Since anti-diabetic drugs have different mechanisms of action and also distinct vascular benefits, we aimed to compare the results of two anti-diabetic drugs after the intake of a lipid-rich meal on microcirculation in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity. In parallel, we also investigated the metabolic profile, oxidative stress, inflammation, plasma viscosity, and some gastrointestinal peptides. SUBJECTS/METHODS:We included 38 drug-naïve patients, all women aged between 19 and 50 years, with BMI ? 30 kg/m2. We performed endothelial measurements and collected samples before (fasting) and after the intake of a lipid-rich meal at 30, 60, 120, and 180 min. Patients were randomized to metformin or vildagliptin, given orally just before the meal. Endothelial function was assessed by videocapillaroscopy and laser-Doppler flowmetry to investigate microvascular reactivity. Besides, we also investigated plasma viscosity, inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers, gastrointestinal peptides, and metabolic profile in all time points. RESULTS:No differences at baseline were noted between groups. Vildagliptin increased glucagon-like peptide-1 compared to metformin. Paired comparisons showed that, during the postprandial period, vildagliptin significantly changed levels of insulin and glucagon-like peptide-1, and also the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 activity, while metformin had effects on plasma glucose solely. Metformin use during the test meal promoted an increase in functional capillary density, while vildagliptin kept non-nutritive microvascular blood flow and vasomotion unchanged. CONCLUSIONS:After the intake of a lipid-rich meal, the use of vildagliptin preserved postprandial non-nutritive microflow and vasomotion, while metformin increased capillary recruitment, suggesting protective and different mechanisms of action on microcirculation.
