Description
Summary:•DPP-4 activity is increased in hyperglycaemia and insulin resistance.•Enzyme activity, protein and gene expression of DPP-4 are up-regulated in high fat diet-induced obesity in mice.•Tissue distribution patterns of DPP-4 demonstrate highest levels in the small intestine and lungs.•Treatment of HFF mice with metformin inhibits DPP-4 activity which may modulate incretin action and control hyperglycaemia. Dipeptidyl peptidase type 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors represent an important class of glucose-lowering drug for type 2 diabetes. DPP-4 enzyme activity has been observed to be significantly altered in type 2 diabetes. Here, the role of DPP-4 was examined in a high fat fed (HFF) mouse model of insulin resistance. HFF mice had an increased bodyweight (p
