How does Sitagliptin enhance incretin hormone activity, and what role does this enhancement play in improving glycemic control for diabetic patients?
Sitagliptin inhibits the enzyme DPP-4, which degrades incretin hormones. Enhanced incretin levels improve insulin release and decrease glucagon, aiding glycemic control in diabetics.
