Diabetes sglt2

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is known as the first non-communicable global epidemic. It is estimated that 537 million people have DM, but the condition has been properly diagnosed in less than half of these patients. Despite numerous preventive measures, the number of DM cases is steadily increasing. The state of chronic hyperglycaemia in the body leads to numerous complications, including diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). A number of pathophysiological mechanisms are behind the development and progression of cardiomyopathy, including increased oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, increased synthesis of advanced glycation products and overexpression of the biosynthetic pathway of certain compounds, such as hexosamine...

Some of the most common conditions affecting people are kidney diseases. Among them, we distinguish chronic kidney disease and acute kidney injury. Both entities pose serious health risks, so new drugs are still being sought to treat and prevent them. In recent years, such a role has begun to be assigned to sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. They increase the amount of glucose excreted in the urine. For this reason, they are currently used as a first-line drug in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Due to their demonstrated cardioprotective effect, they are also used in heart failure treatment...

BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) presents a significant clinical and economic burden to healthcare systems worldwide, which increases considerably with progression towards kidney failure. The DAPA-CKD trial demonstrated that patients with or without type 2 diabetes (T2D) who were treated with dapagliflozin experienced slower progression of CKD versus placebo. Understanding the effect of long-term treatment with dapagliflozin on the timing of kidney failure beyond trial follow-up can assist informed decision-making by healthcare providers and patients...

BACKGROUND: Recent large clinical trials have revealed that sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors improve cardiovascular outcomes not only in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, but also in patients with heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on left ventricular (LV) diastolic function is still controversial. METHODS AND RESULTS: The TOP-HFPEF trial (Efficacy of Tofogliflozin on Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in Patients with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus) is a multicenter, double-arm, open-label, confirmatory, investigator-initiated clinical study to investigate the effect of SGLT2 inhibitor on LV diastolic function in patients with HFpEF and type 2 diabetes mellitus...

INTRODUCTION: Studies have found that sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2) and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1) have cardiovascular benefits for patients with type 2 diabetes (DM2) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), chronic kidney disease (CKD), or heart failure (HF). The literature does not provide evidence specifically for patients with these conditions who are adding one of these medicines to two glucose-lowering medications (ie, as "third-step" therapy)...

AIM: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors often cause a transient decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) shortly after the initiation, referred to as the 'initial drop'. However, the clinical significance of this initial drop in real-world practice remains unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using the nationwide Japan Chronic Kidney Disease Database, we examined factors that affected the initial drop, in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)...

BACKGROUND: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) and SGLT1 inhibitors may have additional beneficial metabolic effects on circulating metabolites beyond glucose regulation, which could contribute to a reduction in the burden of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). Accordingly, we used Mendelian Randomization (MR) to examine the role of circulating metabolites in mediating SGLT2 and SGLT1 inhibition in CSVD. METHODS: Genetic instruments for SGLT1/2 inhibition were identified as genetic variants, which were both associated with the expression of encoding genes of SGLT1/2 inhibitors and glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level...

UNLABELLED: Despite recent therapeutic advances, achieving optimal glycaemic control remains a challenge in managing Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). Sodium-glucose co-transporter type 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have emerged as effective treatments by promoting urinary glucose excretion. However, the full scope of their mechanisms extends beyond glycaemic control. At present, their immunometabolic effects remain elusive. To investigate the effects of SGLT2 inhibition or deletion, we compared the metabolic and immune phenotype between high fat diet-fed control, chronically dapagliflozin-treated mice and total-body SGLT2/ Slc5a2 knockout mice...

INTRODUCTION: Sodium-glucose cotransporter- 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have become a cornerstone in heart failure (HF), Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and cardiovascular disease (CVD) management. In the current retrospective study, we aimed to assess efficacy and safety of SGLT2 inhibitors early following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS: Patients with T2DM hospitalized for AMI in 2017-2020 were divided according to SGLT2 inhibitors therapy status on discharge (with vs without therapy)...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is highly prevalent, estimated to affect over 800 million people worldwide. Diabetes is a leading cause of kidney disease. Both diabetes and CKD are associated with a high risk of cardiovascular disease and related morbidity and mortality. Over the last several years, there has been a shift in focus toward integrating kidney and cardiovascular care, particularly in diabetes. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists, and nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists have rapidly become cornerstones of kidney and cardiovascular risk-focused care in diabetes and CKD...

AIMS/INTRODUCTION: Insulin resistance syndrome and lipoatrophic diabetes are rare conditions characterized by the development of treatment-refractory diabetes with severe insulin resistance. We recently conducted a 24 week, multicenter, single-arm trial (EMPIRE-01) that demonstrated a certain level of effectiveness and safety of empagliflozin for these conditions. To evaluate treatment safety over a longer period, we have now performed an additional 28 week trial (EMPIRE-02) that followed on from EMPIRE-01...

AIM: To examine the effects of the thiazolidinedione (TZD) pioglitazone on reducing ketone bodies in non-obese patients with T2DM treated with the sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor canagliflozin. METHODS: Crossover trials with two periods, each treatment period lasting 4 weeks, with a 4-week washout period, were conducted. Participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive pioglitazone combined with canagliflozin (PIOG + CANA group) versus canagliflozin monotherapy (CANA group)...

Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy is a common glomerulonephritis, but its treatment remains matter of debate. Recommendation for corticosteroids has been supported, but renin-angiotensin inhibitors, RAAS, and sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are increasingly used because of a better benefit/safety balance in comparison with systemic steroids and immunosuppressive treatments. In this case report, a patient with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and biopsy-proven nephrotic IgA-related nephropathy documented a rapid meaningful reduction of proteinuria and the effect was persistent for 2 years, after receiving the treatment with a GLP1-RA on top of the previous treatment with ACE-inhibitors and SGLT2-i...

OBJECTIVE: To describe reported cases of prolonged or relapsed ketoacidosis (KA) in adults with type 2 diabetes receiving treatment with Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. METHODS: We performed a search of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) and medical literature, to identify our case series and to characterize cases of prolonged KA, relapsed KA, or persistent ketonemia, persistent ketonuria and/or persistent glucosuria in adults receiving SGLT2 inhibitors...

Despite the risk of atherosclerosis has progressively declined over the past few decades, subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) continue to experience substantial excess of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)-related events. Therefore, there is urgent need to treat ASCVD disease in T2DM earlier, more intensively, and with greater precision. Many factors concur to increase the risk of atherosclerosis, and multifactorial intervention remains the basis for effective prevention or reduction of atherosclerotic events...

BACKGROUND: Both high and low levels of serum potassium measurements are linked with a higher risk of adverse clinical events among patients with type 2 diabetes. The study was aimed at evaluating the implications of the various degrees of initial estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) change on subsequent serum potassium homeostasis following sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) initiation among patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS AND RESULTS: We used medical data from a multicenter health care provider in Taiwan and recruited 5529 patients with type 2 diabetes with baseline/follow-up eGFR data available after 4 to 12 weeks of SGLT2i treatment from June 1, 2016, to December 31, 2018...

BACKGROUND: Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a novel class of anti-hyperglycaemic agents. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and the adjuvant glycaemic control effect of an SGLT2 inhibitor, DWP16001, in diabetic dogs receiving insulin treatment. METHODS: Nineteen diabetic dogs receiving insulin treatment (NPH, porcine lente and glargine insulin) were divided into two groups according to dosing frequency: DWP TOD group (n = 10) and DWP SID group (n = 9)...

The beneficial effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have been shown recently in numerous randomized controlled trials (RCT) and systematic reviews. According to KDIGO guidelines, SGLT2i currently represent a first choice for diabetic patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). In addition, a recent meta-analysis of 13 large led by the 'SGLT2 inhibitor Meta-Analysis Cardio-Renal Trialists' Consortium' (SMART-C) provided solid evidence of SGLT2i beneficial effects in CKD or in patients with heart failure, with and without diabetes...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether use of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1) receptor agonists is associated with increased risk of thyroid cancer. DESIGN: Scandinavian cohort study. SETTING: Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, 2007-21. PARTICIPANTS: Patients who started GLP1 receptor agonist treatment were compared with patients who started dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) inhibitor treatment, and in an additional analysis, patients who started sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor treatment...

Sodium-glucose cotransporters 2 (SGLT2) are high-capacity, low-affinity transporters, expressed mainly in the early portion of the proximal renal tube, mediating up to 90% of renal glucose uptake, while SGLT1 receptors are found mainly in the small intestine, facilitating glucose absorption. SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) originally emerged as agents for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus; however, they soon demonstrated remarkable cardio- and renoprotective actions that led to their licensed use for the treatment of heart failure and chronic kidney disease, regardless of the diabetic status...
