It usually appears in one of these scenarios: Teams already running GLP-1 trials want to explore longer satiety and lower rebound hunger

In those early days, several DPP-4 inhibitors had been described ( in vivo DPP-4 inhibition was associated with enhanced intact GLP-1 responses to glucose challenges ( Metabolic Effects of DPP-4 Related to Its Enzymatic Activity Despite DPP-4 having a relatively restricted substrate preference (Figure 1), a large number of peptides, proteins, and chemokines still fulfill the criteria and could be predicted to be suitable substrates, and indeed, many have been shown to be cleaved by DPP-4 in pharmacological kinetic, in vitro or animal studies, often using high substrate concentrations ( can cleave a substrate in vitro does not necessarily mean that DPP-4 plays an important physiological role in regulating concentrations and/or modulating biological activity of the endogenous molecules, particularly in humans and, for many of these putative substrates, there is little, if any experimental evidence to show that DPP-4 does actually cleave them in vivo and/or whether this has any physiological consequence

Zinc deficiency impairs neutrophil chemotaxis, as shown in models of crush syndrome where zinc chelation reduced neutrophil infiltration and muscle injury, indicating that adequate zinc levels are crucial for optimal neutrophil function migration [137]
