CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
MECHANISM OF ACTION
The primary mode of action of glipizide in experimental animals
appears to be the stimulation of insulin
secretion from the beta cells of pancreatic islet tissue and is thus
dependent on functioning beta cells in
the pancreatic islets. In humans, glipizide appears to lower the blood
glucose acutely by stimulating the
release of insulin from the pancreas, an effect dependent upon
functioning beta cells in the pancreatic
islets. The mechanism by which glipizide lowers blood glucose during
long-term administration has not
been clearly established. In man, stimulation of insulin secretion by
glipizide in response to a meal is
undoubtedly of major importance. Fasting insulin levels are not
elevated even on long-term glipizide
administration, but the postprandial insulin response continues to be
enhanced after at least 6 months of
treatment. The insulinotropic response to a meal occurs within 30
minutes after an oral dose of glipizide
in diabetic patients, but elevated insulin levels do not persist
beyond the time of the meal challenge.
