BACKGROUND: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i) decrease glucose levels by regulating incretin peptides in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aimed to determine the modulatory effect of DPP-4i on brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) in patients with T2DM. METHODS: PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the impact of DPP-4i on BNP or NT-pro-BNP. A fixed- or random-effects model was used for quantitative analysis, according to the heterogeneity. Sensitivity analysis and publication bias were performed using standard methods. RESULTS: Nine trials with 3056 patients with T2DM were included. Meta-analysis revealed that DPP-4i did not significantly modulate the BNP (0.21 pg/mL, 95% CI - 2.36-2.79) or NT-pro-BNP level (- 7.34 pg/mL, 95% CI - 24.27-9.59). DPP-4i demonstrated no stronger effect on modulating BNP (5.17 pg/mL, 95% CI - 7.48-17.82) or NT-pro-BNP (- 9.95 pg/mL, 95% CI - 44.61-24.71) than active comparators. Pooled analysis was robust and stable after sensitivity analysis. CONCLUSIONS: DPP-4i exhibits no significant effect on modulating BNP or NT-pro-BNP and shows no stronger effect than traditional antidiabetic agents in T2DM.
