Evaluation of the Effect of Alogliptin on Tissue Characteristics of the Carotid Wall: Subanalysis of the SPEAD-A Trial.

Author
Abstract
:

Ultrasonic tissue characterization of the carotid wall using gray-scale median (GSM) reflects its composition and low-GSM plaque is considered to be unstable. The present study evaluated the effect of alogliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, on the longitudinal change in GSM, an index of the tissue characteristics of the carotid wall, in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
