Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP-4is) are well-established agents for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) management. Ongoing research has provided data on their both beneficial and adverse effects on the skin. For instance, GLP-1RAs have exhibited therapeutic benefits in psoriasis, while DPP-4is may reduce the risk of melanoma. Moreover, both of these agents may play a pivotal role in improving wound healing. However, untoward effects, such as bullous pemphigoid, highlight the need for patient monitoring. This review summarises the beneficial and adverse effects of GLP-1RAs and DPP-4is in dermatological conditions and in systemic diseases with cutaneous manifestations.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all therapeutic areas. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Advances in Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
