Abstract

Â
Objective- Sitagliptin is the first and only prescription medication in a new class of oral antihyperglycemic agents, which enhance the body's own ability to lower blood glucose when it is elevated. As many diabetic hypertensive patients taking amlodipine, the present study was undertaken to explore the effect of amlodipine on glucose lowering effect of Sitagliptin on adrenaline induced hyperglycemic cardiotoxic rats.
Methods- Both acute and chronic effect of the drug combination was studied on adrenaline induced hyperglycemic cardiotoxic rats. In acute study, only glucose level was observed whereas in chronic study both glucose and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was estimated and heart was subjected to histopathological examination.
Result- The glucose levels were increased significantly (p<.05) in adrenaline induced rats. Sitagliptin displayed significant reduction in rise in glucose level. The glucose level also significantly increased in rats where both Sitagliptin and amlodipine administered in both acute and chronic study. The rise in LDH level was also more in combination group in comparison to Sitagliptin alone.
Conclusion- From the present study, it can be concluded that amlodipine inhibits glucose lowering effect of Sitagliptin in adrenaline induced hyperglycemic cardiotoxic rats.
