SGLT2 inhibition type 1 diabetes mellitus

Cisplatin (Cis) is a platinum-based antineoplastic drug used in various types of cancers. This drug can induce nephrotoxicity as a cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) by inducing oxidative stress and inflammation. Empagliflozin (Empa) is a newly developed inhibitor of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) approved as an antidiabetic medication for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In addition to its blood glucose-lowering effect, Empa has been shown to exert anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties...

BACKGROUND: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibition is recognized for its evident renoprotective benefits in diabetic renal disease. Recent data suggest that SGLT2 inhibition also slows down kidney disease progression and reduces the risk of acute kidney injury, regardless of whether the patient has diabetes or not, but the mechanism behind these observed effects remains elusive. The objective of this study is to utilize a mendelian randomization (MR) methodology to comprehensively examine the influence of metabolites in circulation regarding the impact of SGLT2 inhibition on kidney function...

BACKGROUND AIMS: No medication has been found to reduce the liver-related events. We evaluated the effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) on liver-related outcomes. APPROACH RESULTS: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with SGLT2 inhibition were identified, and a genetic risk score (GRS) was computed using the UK Biobank (UKB) data (n=337,138). Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) was conducted using the FinnGen (n=218,792) database and UKB data...

AIMS: To estimate the effects of the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) on proteinuria and oxidative stress expression in type 2 diabetes patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 68 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were divided into three groups according urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), including T2DM with non-albuminuria group (UACR < 30 mg/g), T2DM with microalbuminuria group (30 ≤ UACR ≤ 300 mg/g), T2DM with macroalbuminuria group (UACR>300 mg/g)...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have a higher risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), and those with diagnosed CRC have a poorer prognosis compared with individuals with normal glucose levels. The inhibition of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) channels has been associated with a reduction in tumor proliferation in preclinical studies. We aimed to investigate the impact of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) on the outcome of T2DM patients with colorectal cancer...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a prevalent and complex metabolic disorder associated with various complications, including cardiovascular diseases. Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) have emerged as novel therapeutic agents for T2DM, primarily aiming to reduce blood glucose levels. However, recent investigations have unveiled their multifaceted effects, extending beyond their glucose-lowering effect. SGLT2i operate by inhibiting the SGLT2 receptor in the kidneys, facilitating the excretion of glucose through urine, leading to reduced blood glucose levels, while GLP1-RA mimic the action of the GLP1 hormone, stimulating glucose-dependent insulin secretion from pancreatic islets...

Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (eDKA) has emerged as an adverse event associated with sodium-glucose transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i). We present two consecutive cases of SGLT2i-induced eDKA, both manifested as life-threatening coronary vasospastic angina (VSA). Case 1: A 64-year-old male overweight patient with type 2 diabetes (BMI 28.2 kg/m2 ), treated with dapagliflozin 5 mg daily for 6 months and a restricted diet for 2 months, experienced loss of consciousness following severe chest pain while driving, resulting in a traffic accident: plasma glucose, 163 mg/dL; urine ketones, (+++); bicarbonate (HCO3 - ), 13...

AIM: Clinical trials showed the efficacy of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors for type 1 diabetes (T1D) by significant reductions in body weight and glycaemic variability, but elevated susceptibility to ketoacidosis via elevated glucagon secretion was a potential concern. The Suglat-AID evaluated glucagon responses and its associations with glycaemic control and ketogenesis before and after T1D treatment with the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, ipragliflozin. METHODS: Adults with T1D (n = 25) took 50-mg open-labelled ipragliflozin daily as adjunctive to insulin...

INTRODUCTION: Increasingly, SGLT2 inhibitors save patients with heart failure and comorbidities such as type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD); the inhibition of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) was first studied in patients with diabetes as a solution to lower glucose levels by preventing glucose reabsorption and facilitating its elimination; in the process, researchers took notice of how SGLT2 inhibitors also seemed to have beneficial cardiovascular effects in patients with both diabetes and cardiovascular disease...

BACKGROUND: Sodium-dependent glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) mediates glucose reabsorption in the renal proximal tubules, and SGLT2 inhibitors are used as therapeutic agents for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study aimed to elucidate the effects and mechanisms of SGLT2 inhibition on hepatic glucose metabolism in both serum deprivation and serum supplementation states. METHODS: Huh7 cells were treated with the SGLT2 inhibitors empagliflozin and dapagliflozin to examine the effect of SGLT2 on hepatic glucose uptake...

AIM: To examine the impact of increased hepatic glucose production (HGP) on the decrease in plasma glucose concentration caused by empagliflozin in individuals living with diabetes and in nondiabetic individuals. METHODS: A total of 36 individuals living with diabetes and 34 nondiabetic individuals were randomized to receive, in double-blind fashion, empagliflozin or matching placebo in a 2:1 treatment ratio. Following an overnight fast, HGP was measured with 3-3 H-glucose infusion before, at the start of, and 3 months after therapy with empagliflozin...

INTRODUCTION: Reductions in sympathetic nervous system activity may contribute to beneficial effects of sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibition on cardiovascular outcomes. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that SGLT2 inhibition with empagliflozin (Empa) lowers muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) compared with hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) to discern SGLT2-specific actions from responses to increased natriuresis. METHODS: We randomized patients with T2DM on metformin monotherapy to either 25 mg/d Empa ( n  = 20) or 25 mg/d HCT ( n  = 21) for 6 weeks in a parallel, double-blind fashion...

Optimizing energy utilization in the kidney is critical for normal kidney function. Here, we investigate the effect of hyperglycemia and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibition on urinary amino acid excretion in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The open-label ATIRMA trial assessed the impact of 8 weeks of oral empagliflozin 25 mg/day in 40 normotensive, normoalbuminuric young adults with T1D. A consecutive two-day assessment of clamped euglycemia and hyperglycemia was evaluated at baseline and post-treatment visit...

BACKGROUND: Heart failure (HF), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are common and interrelated conditions, each with a significant burden of disease. HF and kidney disease progress through pathophysiologic pathways that culminate in end-stage disease, for which T2DM is a major risk factor. Intervention within these pathways can disrupt disease processes and improve patient outcomes. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) have been investigated in patient populations with combinations of T2DM, CKD, and/or HF...

SGLT2i (sodium glucose transporter type 2 inhibitors) are pharmacological agents that act by inhibiting the SGLT2, by reducing the renal plasma glucose threshold and inducing glycosuria, resulting in a blood glucose lowering effect. In recent years, studies demonstrating some additional positive effects of SGLT2i also in the treatment of T1D have increased progressively. The SGLT2i dapagliflozin and sotagliflozin have been temporarily licensed for use by the European Medical Agency (EMA) as an adjunct to insulin therapy in adults with T1D with a body mass index of 27 kg/m2 or higher...

BACKGROUND: This exploratory sub-analysis of the EMPA-HEART CardioLink-6 trial examined whether the previously reported benefit of the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor empagliflozin on left ventricular (LV) mass (LVM) regression differs between individuals of South Asian and non-South Asian ethnicity. METHODS: EMPA-HEART CardioLink-6 was a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial that randomised 97 individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and coronary artery disease (CAD) to either empagliflozin 10 mg daily or placebo for 6 months...

Background  Flourine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography ( 18 F-FDG PET-CT) is a well-established imaging modality for the evaluation of patients with oncological and nononcological conditions. The underlying principle of imaging is the preferentially increased glucose consumption by cancer cells, due to overexpression of glucose type 1 receptors that are insulin independent. Thus, one of the factors that leads to decreased sensitivity of an 18 F-FDG PET-CT is elevated blood sugar levels, leading to decreased glucose uptake by cancer cells due to competitive inhibition...

BACKGROUND: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have shown promise in reducing the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the results are controversial and the underlying metabolic mechanism remains unclear. Emerging evidence implied that SGLT2 inhibitors have extra beneficial metabolic effects on circulating metabolites beyond glucose control, which might play a role in reducing the risk of AF. Hence, our study aimed to investigate the effect of circulating metabolites mediating SGLT2 inhibition in AF by Mendelian randomization (MR)...

INTRODUCTION: Endothelial dysfunction (ED) plays a key role in the pathogenesis of diabetic vascular complications. In monotherapy, dapagliflozin (Dapa) as well as pioglitazone (Pio) prevent the progression of target organ damage in both type 1 (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes. We investigated whether the simultaneous PPAR-γ activation and SGLT2 cotransporter inhibition significantly alleviate ED-related pathological processes and thus normalize vascular response in experimental T1DM...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a complex metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycaemia. T2DM is a highly heterogeneous polygenic disease. Due to genetic variation, variations in lifestyle and other environmental exposures, there are certain variations in the phenotype of T2DM patients. Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are novel hypoglycaemic agents that increase urinary glucose excretion by inhibiting glucose reabsorption in the proximal tubules of the kidney. For glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, studies have confirmed a variety of gene variants that may modify their effects...
