Extracellular lipidome change by an SGLT2 inhibitor, luseogliflozin, contributes to prevent skeletal muscle atrophy in db/db mice. J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle 2022; 13:574-588. [PMID: 34854254 PMCID: PMC8818690 DOI: 10.1002/jcsm.12814] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2020] [Revised: 08/18/2021] [Accepted: 09/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus increases the excretion of urinary glucose from the renal glomeruli due to elevated blood glucose levels. In the renal tubules, SGLT2 is expressed and reabsorbs the excreted urinary glucose. In the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus, glucose reabsorption by SGLT2 is increased, and SGLT2 inhibitors improve hyperglycaemia by inhibiting this reabsorption. When urinary glucose excretion is enhanced, glucose supply to skeletal muscle may be insufficient and muscle protein catabolism may be accelerated. On the other hand, SGLT2 inhibitors not only ameliorate hyperglycaemia but also improve fatty acid metabolism in muscle, which may prevent muscle atrophy. METHODS Eight-week-old male db/m mice or db/db mice were fed a standard diet with or without the SGLT2i luseogliflozin (0.01% w/w in chow) for 8 weeks. Mice were sacrificed at 16 weeks of age, and skeletal muscle and serum lipidomes, as well as skeletal muscle transcriptome, were analysed. RESULTS Administration of SGLT2i led to not only decreased visceral fat accumulation (P = 0.004) but also increased soleus muscle weight (P = 0.010) and grip strength (P = 0.0001). The levels of saturated fatty acids, especially palmitic acid, decreased in both muscles (P = 0.017) and sera (P = 0.041) upon administration of SGLT2i, while the content of monosaturated fatty acids, especially oleic acid, increased in both muscle (P < 0.0001) and sera (P = 0.009). Finally, the accumulation of transcripts associated with fatty acid metabolism, such as Scd1, Fasn, and Elovl6, and of muscle atrophy-associated transcripts, such as Foxo1, Mstn, Trim63, and Fbxo32, decreased following SGLT2i administration. CONCLUSIONS Intramuscular fatty acid metabolism and gene expression were influenced by the extracellular lipidome, which was modified by SGLT2i. Hence, secondary effects, other than the hypoglycaemic effects of SGLT2i, might lead to the alleviation of sarcopenia.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review offers a critical narrative evaluation of emerging evidence that sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors exert nephroprotective effects in people with type 2 diabetes. RECENT FINDINGS The SGLT2 inhibitor class of glucose-lowering agents has recently shown beneficial effects to reduce the onset and progression of renal complications in people with and without diabetes. Randomised clinical trials and 'real world' observational studies, mostly involving type 2 diabetes patients, have noted that use of an SGLT2 inhibitor can slow the decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR), reduce the onset of microalbuminuria and slow or reverse the progression of proteinuria. The nephroprotective effects of SGLT2 inhibitors are class effects observed with each of the approved agents in people with a normal or impaired GFR. These effects are also observed in non-diabetic, lean and normotensive individuals suggesting that the mechanisms extend beyond the glucose-lowering, weight-lowering and blood pressure-lowering effects that accompany their glucosuric action in diabetes patients. A key mechanism is tubuloglomerular feedback in which SGLT2 inhibitors cause more sodium to pass along the nephron: the sodium is sensed by macula cells which act via adenosine to constrict afferent glomerular arterioles, thereby protecting glomeruli by reducing intraglomerular pressure. Other effects of SGLT2 inhibitors improve tubular oxygenation and metabolism and reduce renal inflammation and fibrosis. SGLT2 inhibitors have not increased the risk of urinary tract infections or the risk of acute kidney injury. However, introduction of an SGLT2 inhibitor in patients with a very low GFR is not encouraged due to an initial dip in GFR, and it is prudent to discontinue therapy if there is an acute renal event, hypovolaemia or hypotension.

Abstract
Diabetes and obesity are growing problems worldwide and are associated with a range of acute and chronic complications, including acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and stroke. Novel anti-diabetic medications designed to treat T2DM, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is), exert beneficial effects on metabolism and the cardiovascular system. However, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. GLP-1RAs induce anorexic effects by inhibiting the central regulation of food intake to reduce body weight. Central/peripheral administration of GLP-1RAs inhibits food intake, accompanied by an increase in c-Fos expression in neurons within the paraventricular nucleus (PVN), amygdala, the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS), area postrema (AP), lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPB) and arcuate nucleus (ARC), induced by the activation of GLP-1 receptors in the central nervous system (CNS). Therefore, GLP-1RAs need to pass through the blood-brain barrier to exert their pharmacological effects. In addition, studies revealed that SGLT-2is could reduce the risk of chronic heart failure in people with type 2 diabetes. SGLT-2 is extensively expressed throughout the CNS, and c-Fos expression was also observed within 2 hours of administration of SGLT-2is in mice. Recent clinical studies reported that SGLT-2is improved hypertension and atrial fibrillation by modulating the "overstimulated" renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and suppressing the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) by directly/indirectly acting on the rostral ventrolateral medulla. Despite extensive research into the central mechanism of GLP-1RAs and SGLT-2is, the penetration of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) remains controversial. This review discusses the interaction between GLP-1RAs and SGLT-2is and the BBB to induce pharmacological effects via the CNS.

Diabetes, Heart Failure and Beyond: Elucidating the Cardioprotective Mechanisms of Sodium Glucose Cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) Inhibitors. Am J Cardiovasc Drugs 2022; 22:35-46.

Abstract
Approximately 5 million individuals in the US are living with congestive heart failure (CHF), with 650,000 new cases being diagnosed every year. CHF has a multifactorial etiology, ranging from coronary artery disease, hypertension, valvular abnormalities and diabetes mellitus. Currently, guidelines by the American College of Cardiology advocate the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, β-blockers, diuretics, aldosterone antagonists, and inotropes for the medical management of heart failure. The sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a class of drug that have been widely used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus that work by inhibiting the reabsorption of glucose in the proximal convoluted tubule. Since the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial, several studies have demonstrated the benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors in reducing cardiovascular risk related to heart failure. While the cardiovascular benefits could be explained by their ability to reduce weight, improve glycemic index and lower blood pressure, several recent trials have suggested that SGLT2 inhibitors exhibit pleiotropic effects that underlie their cardioprotective properties. These findings have led to an expansion in preclinical and clinical research aiming to understand the mechanisms by which SGLT2 inhibitors improve heart failure outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Multiple trials have demonstrated the metabolic effects of sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in patients regardless of diabetes status, and recent trials have been conducted on the combined sodium/glucose cotransporter 1 and sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT1/SGLT2) inhibitors. Therefore, a meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the weight reduction effects and dose-response relationship of SGLT inhibitors and to assess the relative efficacy of SGLT1/SGLT2 inhibitors. METHODS Four electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Scopus) were searched on November 21, 2020, for articles published from January 1, 2000, up to November 21, 2020. RESULTS In total, 116 randomized-controlled trials were included, with a combined cohort of 98,497 patients. Overall, patients had a mean weight reduction of -1.79 kg (95% CI: -1.93 to -1.66, p < 0.001) compared with placebo. This effect was observed across diabetes status, duration of follow-up, various comorbidities, and all SGLT drug types. Mean BMI changes were -0.71 kg/m2 (95% CI: -0.94 to -0.47, p < 0.001) compared with placebo. Canagliflozin, empagliflozin, sotagliflozin, and licogliflozin showed a dose-response relationship for mean weight change. Compared with SGLT2 inhibitors, SGLT1/SGLT2 inhibitors had a significantly larger reduction in weight. CONCLUSIONS SGLT inhibitors demonstrated weight reduction benefits in this meta-analysis. Further studies are needed to clarify their role in weight management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors for managing obesity in non-diabetic overweight or obese patients. METHODS For purposes of this study, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched through May 2021. Randomized controlled trials published in English that compared SGLT2 inhibitors with placebo in overweight and obese patients without diabetes were included in the primary analysis. The random effects standardized mean difference ±95% confidence interval (95% CI) was calculated as the effect size. RESULTS Five randomized controlled trials were included to evaluate body weight change, four trials to assess body mass index (BMI), and three trials to assess waist circumference were included. Results showed that the mean body weight loss on SGLT2 inhibitors in obese patients without diabetes was -1.62 kg (95% CI, -2.38 to -0.85 kg) when compared with placebo. Treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors was also associated with a greater reduction in BMI than placebo (weighted mean difference, -0.47 kg/m2; 95% CI, -0.62 to -0.31 kg/m2). The mean reduction in waist circumference with SGLT2 inhibitors versus placebo was 1.29 cm (95% CI, -2.62 to 0.04 cm), which was not statistically significant. There were no significant changes in fat mass, blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol with SGLT2 inhibitor treatment. CONCLUSION A meta-analysis demonstrated that although the weight lowering effect was mild, SGLT2 inhibitors significantly reduced body weight in obese patients without diabetes.

Abstract
Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors are the latest class of antidiabetic medications. They prevent glucose reabsorption in the proximal convoluted tubule to decrease blood sugar. Several animal studies revealed that SGLT-2 is profoundly involved in the inflammatory response, fibrogenesis, and regulation of numerous intracellular signaling pathways. Likewise, SGLT-2 inhibitors markedly attenuated inflammation and fibrogenesis and improved the function of damaged organ in animal studies, observational studies, and clinical trials. SGLT-2 inhibitors can decrease blood pressure and ameliorate hypertriglyceridemia and obesity. Likewise, they improve the outcome of cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure, arrhythmias, and ischemic heart disease. SGLT-2 inhibitors are associated with lower cardiovascular and all-cause mortality as well. Meanwhile, they protect against nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, and improve micro- and macroalbuminuria. SGLT-2 inhibitors can reprogram numerous signaling pathways to improve NAFLD, cardiovascular diseases, and renal diseases. For instance, they enhance lipolysis, ketogenesis, mitochondrial biogenesis, and autophagy while they attenuate the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, lipogenesis, endoplasmic reticulum stress, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and fibrogenesis. This review explains the beneficial effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors on NAFLD and cardiovascular and renal diseases and dissects the underlying molecular mechanisms in detail. This narrative review explains the beneficial effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors on NAFLD and cardiovascular and renal diseases using the results of latest observational studies, clinical trials, and meta-analyses. Thereafter, it dissects the underlying molecular mechanisms involved in the clinical effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors on these diseases.

Abstract
AIMS We investigated the effects of the SGLT2 inhibitor luseogliflozin on blood and urinary glucose and body weight. METHODS Luseogliflozin 2.5 mg was administered once daily for 24 weeks to 30 outpatients with type 2 diabetes. Urinary glucose concentration, continuous glucose monitoring values, HbA1c, fasting glucose, and body weight were evaluated. Correlations with urinary glucose, subcutaneous/visceral fat mass, insulin, EPA/AA ratio, plasma free fatty acids, ghrelin, blood ketones, plasma 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol were evaluated. RESULTS Urinary glucose significantly increased from 11.1 ± 11.8 g at Week -4 to 84.5 ± 46.8 g at Week 24. HbA1c significantly declined from 7.88 ± 0.88% to 7.36 ± 1.13% at Week 24. Mean blood glucose significantly decreased from 149.6 ± 41.8 to 131.6 ± 31.1 mg/dL at Week 24. Subcutaneous and visceral fat mass was also significantly decreased, as were AST and ALT (P < 0.01). Blood urea nitrogen was significantly increased, and urate significantly decreased from 5.04 ± 1.07 to 4.53 ± 0.94 mg/dL. The homeostasis model assessment ratio remained significantly improved throughout the treatment period. Acyl ghrelin levels remained constant but des-acyl ghrelin increased significantly. CONCLUSIONS Luseogliflozin monotherapy resulted in an improvement in blood glucose, a decrease in body weight, and decreased insulin resistance. Luseogliflozin appears to be an effective therapy for obese diabetics.

Abstract
In East Asians, the incidence of type 2 DM (T2DM) has increased as a result of major alterations in life. Cardiovascular problems are more likely in those with T2DM. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are novel insulin-independent antihyperglycemic drugs that limit renal glucose reabsorption and thereby improve glycemic control. They are used alone or in combination with insulin and other antihyperglycemic medications to treat diabetes, and they are also helpful in protecting against the progression of complications. This review has evaluated the available evidence not only on the efficacy of SGLT2 inhibitors in T2DM, but also on their favourable cardiovascular events in East Asians. DM is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. As a result, in addition to glycemic control in diabetes management, the therapeutic goal in East Asian diabetic patients should be to improve adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Besides establishing antidiabetic effects, several studies have reported cardioprotective benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors via numerous pathways. SGLT2 inhibitors show promising antidiabetic drugs with potential cardiovascular advantages, given that a high number of diabetic patients in East Asia have co-existing cardiovascular disorders. Despite significant positive results in favour of SGLT2, more research is needed to determine how SGLT2 inhibitors exert these impressive cardiovascular effects.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery has been shown to have a variety of metabolically beneficial effects for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), and is now also called metabolic surgery. At the 2nd Diabetes Surgery Summit held in 2015 in London, the indication for bariatric and metabolic surgery was included in the “algorithm for patients with type T2D”. With this background, the Japanese Society for Treatment of Obesity (JSTO), the Japan Diabetes Society (JDS) and the Japan Society for the Study of Obesity (JASSO) have formed a joint committee to develop a consensus statement regarding bariatric and metabolic surgery for the treatment of Japanese patients with T2D. Eventually, the consensus statement was announced at the joint meeting of the 38th Annual Meeting of JSTO and the 41st Annual Meeting of JASSO convened in Toyama on March 21, 2021. In preparing the consensus statement, we used Japanese data as much as possible as scientific evidence to consider the indication criteria, and set two types of recommendation grades, “recommendation” and “consideration”, for items for which recommendations are possible. We hope that this statement will be helpful in providing evidence-based high-quality care through bariatric and metabolic surgery for the treatment of obese Japanese patients with T2D.

Eur J Pharmacol 2021; 907:174320. [PMID: 34246651 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2021.174320] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2021] [Revised: 06/16/2021] [Accepted: 07/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is an independent risk factor for renal impairment, developing in due course to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Such progressive renal damage is related to an increased predisposition to cardiovascular events and mortality. Even with intensive glycemic control and use of nephro-protective renin angiotensin system (RAS) blockers, rise in the worldwide prevalence of diabetic kidney disease remains tenacious. Identifying drugs with potential to halt progressive renal damage is the pressing priority at present. Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, by virtue of their glucose-lowering and additional pleotropic effects, such as weight reduction, blood pressure lowering, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic effects etc. are postulated to affect systemic and intrarenal hemodynamic mechanisms in a favorable manner which ultimately contribute to beneficial processes in the kidney. The promising reno-protective efficacy of these drugs is further highlighted by a reduction in development/progression of albuminuria and stabilization of renal function associated with their use. In particular, recent cardiovascular and kidney disease focused outcome trials have effectively demonstrated reduced rates of ESKD and other hard renal end-points, including doubling of serum creatinine, renal transplantation, death due to renal causes etc. with SGLT2 inhibitors. In this review, we dig further deep into the proposed reno-protective benefit furnished by this class of drugs by summarizing the evidence generated from clinical trials and large real-world studies. Current guideline recommendations and probability of reno-protection being influenced by factors, such as diabetic status, baseline renal function, RAS blockade is also explored to discuss their intended use in clinical settings.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors improve blood glucose control by blocking renal glucose reabsorption with little subsequent risk of hypoglycemia. Consequently, there are decreases in plasma volume, body weight, and blood pressure. Additional putative benefits include improved cardiovascular energetics, decreased systemic inflammation, and less renal dysfunction. Multiple cardiovascular outcome trials in diabetic patients have demonstrated this drug class reduces the risk of adverse cardiovascular events. Reductions in heart failure (HF) hospitalization suggested that SGLT2 inhibitors might prove useful for the primary treatment of HF. Two large subsequent trials studying SGLT2 inhibitors in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) demonstrated a reduction in cardiovascular mortality, HF hospitalizations, and renal-specific adverse events. This medication class is now recognized as a new pillar of therapy for patients with HFrEF. The cardiovascular and HF community await the results of ongoing trials of SGLT2 inhibition in patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Volume 62 is January 2022.

[PMID: 34048142 DOI: 10.1111/dom.14452] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2021] [Revised: 05/13/2021] [Accepted: 05/23/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
AIM To determine the overall efficacy of high- versus low-dose sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). MATERIAL AND METHODS A literature search using MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library was performed from 1 January 2006 to 23 September 2020. Random effects models were used to calculate mean differences (MDs) and pooled relative risk (RR). Prespecified subgroup analyses for each SGLT2 inhibitor, follow-up and controls were performed. Leave-one-out sensitivity and meta-regression analyses were conducted. RESULTS A total of 51 randomized controlled trials involving 23 989 participants (weighted mean age, 58.9 years; men, 58.8%) were eligible for our meta-analysis. For glycaemic regulation ability, a significant reduction in HbA1c (MD -0.080%, 95% confidence interval [CI] -0.100 to -0.060), fasting plasma glucose (MD -0.227 mmol/L, 95% CI -0.282 to -0.173) and postprandial plasma glucose (MD -0.834 mmol/L, 95% CI -1.268 to -0.400) levels was observed in the high-dose SGLT2 inhibitor group. Treatment with high-dose SGLT2 inhibitors enabled easier achievement of the target (HbA1c <7%) than low-dose SGLT2 inhibitors (RR 1.148, 95% CI 1.104 to 1.193). High-dose SGLT2 inhibitor-based treatment resulted in more efficient regulation of body weight and blood pressure (body weight: MD -0.346 kg, 95% CI -0.437 to -0.254; systolic blood pressure: MD -0.583 mmHg, 95% CI -0.903 to -0.263; diastolic blood pressure: MD -0.352 mmHg, 95% CI -0.563 to -0.142). The results were similar in sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS The overall efficacy of SGLT2 inhibitors, mainly canagliflozin, dapagliflozin and empagliflozin, was found to be dose dependent.

Cardiovasc Diabetol 2021; 20:130. [PMID: 34183018 PMCID: PMC8237469 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-021-01316-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2021] [Accepted: 06/07/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is) are licenced for initiation for glucose lowering in people with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73m2). However, recent trial data have shown that these medications have renal and cardio-protective effects, even for impaired kidney function. The extent to which trial evidence and updated guidelines have influenced real-world prescribing of SGLT-2is is not known, particularly with co-administration of diuretics. Methods We performed a cross-sectional analysis of people with T2DM registered with practices in the Oxford-Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) Research and Surveillance Centre (RSC) database on the 31st July 2019. We calculated the percentage of people prescribed SGLT-2is according to eGFR categories (< 45, 45–59, and ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73m2), with a heart failure diagnosis and stratified by body mass index categories (underweight, normal weight, overweight, obese), and with concomitant prescription of a diuretic. Multilevel logistic regression analysis was performed to determine whether heart failure diagnosis and renal function were associated with SGLT-2i prescribing. Results From a population of 242,624 people with T2DM across 419 practices, 11.0% (n = 26,700) had been prescribed SGLT-2is. The majority of people initiated SGLT-2is had an eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73m2 (93.2%), and 4.3% had a heart failure diagnosis. 9,226 (3.8%) people were prescribed SGLT-2is as an add-on to their diuretic prescription. People in the highest eGFR category (≥ 60 mL/min/1.73m2) were more likely to be prescribed SGLT-2is than those in eGFR lower categories. Overweight (OR 2.05, 95% CI 1.841–2.274) and obese people (OR 3.84, 95% CI 3.472–4.250) were also more likely to be prescribed these medications, whilst use of diuretics (OR 0.74, 95% CI 0.682–0.804) and heart failure (OR 0.81, 95% CI 0.653–0.998) were associated with lower odds of being prescribed SGLT-2is. Conclusions Prescribing patterns of SGLT-2is for glucose lowering in T2DM in primary care generally concur with licenced indications according to recommended renal thresholds. A small percentage of people with heart failure were prescribed SGLT-2is for T2DM. An updated analysis is merited should UK National Institute for Health Care and Excellence prescribing guidelines for T2DM be revised to incorporate new data on the benefits for those with reduced renal function or with heart failure.

Abstract
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity are at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). Both glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT-2) inhibitors have been shown to prevent CVD in T2DM patients. Additionally, the two drugs reduce body mass. However, it is unknown which drug is more effective at reducing the risk of CVD in such patients. We searched Medline, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library records to February 20, 2021 and performed a network meta-analysis to compare the efficacy with which the drugs reduced the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). We included 102,728 patients in 12 studies containing data of obesity subgroup analyses. In T2DM patients with obesity, GLP-1 RAs significantly reduced the risk of MACE versus placebo (relative risk, RR [95% confidence interval, CI]: 0.88 [0.81–0.96]), whereas SGLT-2 inhibitors showed a tendency (RR [95% CI]: 0.91 [0.83–1.00]). In an indirect comparison, GLP-1 RAs were not associated with a significant difference in MACE compared with SGLT-2 inhibitors (RR [95% CI]: 0.97 [0.85–1.09]). Thus, GLP-1 RAs are effective at preventing MACE than placebo in T2DM patients with obesity, although further studies are warranted to conclude their superiority to SGLT-2 inhibitors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Asprosin, a novel adipokine that raises glucose levels and stimulates appetite, has been proved to be pathologically increased in populations predisposed to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), obesity, and cardiovascular diseases. The mechanisms of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors for hypoglycemic effect and cardiovascular protection have not been fully clarified. Therefore, we conducted this study to assess change in the levels of serum asprosin after treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM. METHODS This study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. A total of 29 participants with newly diagnosed T2DM with body mass index (BMI) ≥ 23.0 kg/m2 and haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels of 58-85 mmol/mol (7.5-10%) were randomized to SGLT2 inhibitors dapagliflozin 10 mg/d (n = 19) or placebo (n = 10) treatment for 24 weeks. We analyzed asprosin concentrations by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Besides, body weight, BMI, HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and lipid levels were measured at baseline and 24 weeks. RESULTS At 24 weeks, participants with SGLT2 inhibitors treatment exhibited lower levels of serum asprosin (22.87 vs 45.06 ng/ml in the placebo group; P < 0.001) after adjusting for baseline values. The levels of body weight, BMI, HbA1c, FPG, and triglyceride (TG) were decreased, while high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) was increased after SGLT2 inhibitors dapagliflozin treatment compared with placebo (P < 0.05 for all). Low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and total cholesterol (TC) levels were unchanged in the SGLT2 inhibitors group and placebo group. No statistical correlation was found between the levels of serum asprosin and body weight, BMI, HbA1c, FPG, and lipid levels during the SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin treatment. CONCLUSIONS These findings indicated that SGLT2 inhibitors can lower serum asprosin levels and improve glucolipid and weight in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM, which may benefit the cardiovascular system.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are new oral drugs for the therapy of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Research in the past decade has shown that drugs of the SGLT2i class, such as empagliflozin, canagliflozin, and dapagliflozin, have pleiotropic effects in preventing cardiovascular diseases beyond their favorable impact on hyperglycemia. Of clinical relevance, recent landmark cardiovascular outcome trials have demonstrated that SGLT2i reduce major adverse cardiovascular events, hospitalization for heart failure, and cardiovascular death in T2DM patients with/without cardiovascular diseases (including atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases and various types of heart failure). The major pharmacological action of SGLT2i is through inhibiting glucose re-absorption in the kidney and thus promoting glucose excretion. Studies in experimental models of atherosclerosis have shown that SGLT2i ameliorate the progression of atherosclerosis by mechanisms including inhibition of vascular inflammation, reduction in oxidative stress, reversing endothelial dysfunction, reducing foam cell formation and preventing platelet activation. Here, we summarize the anti-atherosclerotic actions and mechanisms of action of SGLT2i, with an aim to emphasize the clinical utility of this class of agents in preventing the insidious cardiovascular complications accompanying diabetes.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Emerging data have demonstrated that sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors prevent cardiovascular events, especially heart failure-associated endpoints. Cardiovascular outcome trials have also suggested their renoprotective effects. One large clinical trial investigated renal primary endpoints and demonstrated that SGLT2 inhibitors slowed the progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). This review summarizes clinical trial data on renal outcomes and discusses potential underlying mechanisms. RECENT FINDINGS The EMPA-REG, CANVAS, and DECLARE-TIMI 58 studies revealed that SGLT2 inhibitors reduce the risk of cardiovascular events and concomitantly suggested that these drugs slow the progression of kidney disease in type 2 diabetes. The CREDENCE trial on patients with high-risk type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease demonstrated that canagliflozin treatment reduced the relative risk of a composite outcome, including end-stage kidney disease, serum creatinine doubling, and renal/cardiovascular death, by 30% in these patients. Animal experiments revealed that oxidative stress, inflammation, fibrosis, and tubuloglomerular feedback are underlying renoprotective mechanisms behind SGLT2 inhibitors. SUMMARY Recent clinical trials have established the renoprotective effects of SGLT2 inhibitors. Further investigations on mechanisms of these renoprotective effects will provide deeper insights and understanding of pathogenetic properties of DKD.

Abstract
AIM To systematically review the effects of pharmacological and lifestyle interventions on body weight as a secondary outcome in people with type 1 diabetes. METHODS The Ovid Medline, Embase and Cochrane Library databases were searched for relevant pharmacological (glucagon-like peptide-1 [GLP-1] receptor agonist, sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 [SGLT-2] inhibitor, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 [DPP-4] inhibitor and metformin) and lifestyle intervention studies (diet and exercise) for adults with type 1 diabetes reporting body weight change and HbA1c published from January 2000 to May 2020. Meta-analyses were performed for 16 randomized controlled trials (RCTs). RESULTS Thirty-three RCTs (n = 9344 participants), 26 pharmacological (on average 43.9 years, 83.1 kg, HbA1c 8.1%; 55.8% male) and seven lifestyle-based interventions (on average 37.0 years, 85.0 kg, HbA1c 8.1%; 84.6% male), were analysed. The GLP-1 receptor agonist liraglutide 0.6 mg (mean difference [MD]: -2.22 kg [95% CI: -2.55 to -1.90]), 1.2 mg (MD: -3.74 kg [95% CI: -4.16 to -3.33]) and 1.8 mg (MD: -4.85 kg [95% CI: -5.29 to -4.41]), and the SGLT-2 inhibitors empagliflozin 2.5 mg (MD: -1.47 kg [95% CI: -2.23 to -0.71]), 10 mg (MD: -2.77 kg [95% CI: -3.24 to -2.31]) and 25 mg (MD: -3.06 kg [95% CI: -3.57 to -2.55]) and sotagliflozin 200 mg (MD: -2.40 kg [95% CI: -2.87 to -1.94]) and 400 mg (MD: -3.23 [95% CI: -3.73 to -2.72]) were associated with significant reductions in body weight. No significant effect on body weight was found for DPP-4 inhibitors, other GLP-1-receptor agonists, metformin, or for lifestyle interventions (i.e. exercise and diet). CONCLUSIONS In people with type 1 diabetes, several adjuvant pharmacological interventions showed weight reduction as a secondary outcome. Future studies in overweight people with type 1 diabetes are needed to establish whether the lifestyle and pharmacological interventions reviewed here have potential as components of complex interventions aimed at body weight reduction as a primary outcome.

Abstract
In type 2 diabetes, the maladaptive upregulation of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) protein expression and activity contribute to the maintenance of hyperglycemia. By inhibiting these proteins, SGLT2 inhibitors increase urinary glucose excretion (UGE) that leads to fall in plasma glucose concentrations and improvement in all glycemic parameters. Clinical studies have demonstrated that in patients with type 2 diabetes, SGLT2 inhibitors resulted in sustained reductions in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C), body weight, blood pressure and serum uric acid levels. Interestingly, the cardiovascular (CV) and renal outcome trials revealed the beneficial effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on CV and renal functions. Because the benefits were seen soon after initiation of SGLT2 inhibitors, these observations are explained by effects beyond their glucose lowering capacity. SGLT2 inhibitors also reduce liver fat in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and type 2 diabetes. This chapter describes the basic information about SGLT2 inhibitors, current status of SGLT2 inhibitors in the management of type 2 diabetes and their beneficial effects in addition to glycemic control.

Case Report: Metreleptin and SGLT2 Inhibitor Combination Therapy Is Effective for Acquired Incomplete Lipodystrophy. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2021; 12:690996. [PMID: 34135866 PMCID: PMC8201990 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2021.690996] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2021] [Accepted: 05/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) who have undergone bone marrow transplantation with systemic chemotherapy and whole-body irradiation often experience impaired glucose tolerance with marked insulin resistance. Incomplete acquired diabetic lipodystrophy should be considered as a late complication of bone marrow transplantation. A 24-year-old Japanese female patient with incomplete acquired lipodystrophy, a CCS of acute lymphocytic leukemia at the age of 3 years, was treated for diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia at our hospital. Administration of multiple daily insulin injections (70 units/day), and oral administration of 500 mg/day metformin, 15 mg/day pioglitazone, and 200 mg/day bezafibrate had proven ineffective for her metabolic disorders. Subcutaneous administration of metreleptin improved her insulin resistance and hypertriglyceridemia within a month; however, it failed to maintain adequate plasma glucose levels in the long term. When oral administration of 10 mg/day empagliflozin was added to the metreleptin supplementation, her HbA1c value (National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program) improved from 11% to 8%, which was maintained for an additional 18 months. This is the first case report of incomplete lipodystrophy that shows efficacy of a combination therapy with metreleptin and a sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor for the treatment of diabetes and dyslipidemia. An SGLT2 inhibitor attenuates hyperglycemia through urinary glucose excretion and has been suggested to enhance lipid catabolism in the extra-adipose tissues, especially in the liver and skeletal muscles. Furthermore, metreleptin supplementation could enhance the action of the SGLT2 inhibitor by promoting satiety and lipolysis through the central nervous system. Combination therapy with metreleptin and an SGLT2 inhibitor was suggested to recover the volume of adipose tissue, possibly through improvement of insulin resistance in the adipose tissue. This report highlights the pathophysiological mechanism of an SGLT2 inhibitor in the improvement of glucose metabolism in non-healthy lean CCSs with insulin resistance. Administration of SGLT2 inhibitor, along with metreleptin supplementation, could be a good alternative therapy for diabetic lipodystrophy observed in CCSs.

Abstract
GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and SGLT-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is) are novel antidiabetic medications associated with considerable cardiovascular benefits therapying treatment of diabetic patients. GLP-1 exhibits atherosclerosis resistance, whereas SGLT-2i acts to ameliorate the neuroendocrine state in the patients with chronic heart failure. Despite their distinct modes of action, both factors share pathways by regulating the central nervous system (CNS). While numerous preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated that GLP-1 can access various nuclei associated with energy homeostasis and hedonic eating in the CNS via blood-brain barrier (BBB), research on the activity of SGLT-2is remains limited. In our previous studies, we demonstrated that both GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) liraglutide and exenatide, as well as an SGLT-2i, dapagliflozin, could activate various nuclei and pathways in the CNS of Sprague Dawley (SD) rats and C57BL/6 mice, respectively. Moreover, our results revealed similarities and differences in neural pathways, which possibly regulated different metabolic effects of GLP-1RA and SGLT-2i via sympathetic and parasympathetic systems in the CNS, such as feeding, blood glucose regulation and cardiovascular activities (arterial blood pressure and heart rate control). In the present article, we extensively discuss recent preclinical studies on the effects of GLP-1RAs and SGLT-2is on the CNS actions, with the aim of providing a theoretical explanation on their mechanism of action in improvement of the macro-cardiovascular risk and reducing incidence of diabetic complications. Overall, these findings are expected to guide future drug design approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dapagliflozin is a sodium-glucose co transporter-2 inhibitor that proved efficacy in reduction of blood glucose level through extrusion of glucose in urine. It is used in treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It also has reported cardiovascular and renal benefits in patients with T2DM. Data are very limited about its effects in Emirati patients with diabetes. Our aim was to evaluate dapagliflozin treatment in Emirati patients with T2DM. PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a retrospective study involving 89 diabetes patients who were using dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily as add-on therapy for 12 months. All patients had T2DM, aged over 18 years and had an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) over 60 ml/min/1.73 m². Body weight, height, body mass index, sitting blood pressure and heart rate were collected. Fasting plasma glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), lipid profile and other available biochemical parameters, for example, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and urine albumin/creatinine ratio were traced from medical records and eGFR was calculated. RESULTS Patients were aged 62.3 ± 9.4 years with a median duration of diabetes of 15 (10-20) years. Data were analyzed before, at 6 months and 12 months of treatment. Fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c, body mass index, systolic and diastolic blood pressure significantly decreased (p = 0.002, p < 0.0005, p < 0.002, p < 0.0005, p < 0.0005, respectively). The median reduction of HbA1c was 0.7% (0.2-1.2) and 0.9% (0.5-1.8) at 6 and 12 months, respectively. Systolic blood pressure decreased by a median of 7 mmHg (4-20 mmHg) and 9 mmHg (1-10 mmHg) on the 6th and 12th month of treatment, respectively, while the diastolic decreased by a median of 3 mmHg (4 to 10 mmHg) and 6 mmHg (1-10 mmHg); without increase in heart rate (p = 0.188). A significant reduction of body mass index, C-reactive protein and rate pressure product was noticed (p = 0.002, p = 0.001, p < 0.0005, respectively). No decline in eGFR or microalbuminuria was noticed. Stage I chronic kidney disease with eGFR < 90 ml/min/1.73 m² showed continuous progressive reduction of HbA1c without a significant change in other variables. CONCLUSION Our data indicate improved cardiovascular risk profile in dapagliflozin-treated Emirati patients with T2DM.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2 inhibitors) are a new type of drug for the treatment of diabetes, and they have been proven to have a good hypoglycemic effect. Several lines of clinical evidence have shown that SGLT2 inhibitors can significantly reduce the risks of atherosclerosis, hospitalization for heart failure, cardiovascular death, and all-cause mortality and delay the progression of chronic kidney disease. Because of the protective effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on the heart and kidney, they are being studied for the treatment of heart failure and chronic kidney disease in patients without diabetes. Therefore, it is necessary for cardiologists, patients with diabetes, and nephrologists to fully understand this type of drug. In this review, we summarize the following three aspects of SGLT2 inhibitors: the recent clinical evidence of their cardiovascular benefits, their mechanisms of action, and their safety.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Systematic reviews with or without meta-analyses (SR/MAs) are strongly encouraged to work from a protocol to facilitate high quality, transparent methodology. The completeness of reporting of a protocol (PRISMA-P) and manuscript (PRISMA) is essential to the quality appraisal (AMSTAR-2) and appropriate use of SR/MAs in making treatment decisions. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to describe the completeness of reporting and quality of SR/MAs, assess the correlations between PRISMA-P, PRISMA, and AMSTAR-2, and to identify reporting characteristics between similar items of PRISMA-P and PRISMA. METHODS We performed a systematic review of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus SR/MAs of hypoglycemic agents with publicly available protocols. Cochrane reviews, guidelines, and specific types of MA were excluded. Two reviewers independently, (i) searched PubMed and Embase between 1/1/2015 to 20/3/2019; (ii) identified protocols of included studies by searching the manuscript bibliography, supplementary material, PROSPERO, and Google; (iii) completed PRISMA-P, PRISMA, and AMSTAR-2 tools. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multivariable linear regression. RESULTS Of 357 relevant SR/MAs, 51 had available protocols and were included. The average score for PRISMA-P was 15.8±3.3 (66%; maximum 24) and 25.2±1.1 (93%; maximum 27) for PRISMA. The quality of SR/MAs assessed using the AMSTAR-2 tool identified an overall poor quality (63% critically low, 18% low, 8% moderate, 12% high). The correlation between the PRISMA-P and PRISMA was not significant (r = 0.264; p = 0.06). Correlation was significant between PRISMA-P and AMSTAR-2 (r = 0.333; p = 0.02) and PRISMA and AMSTAR-2 (r = 0.555; p<0.01). Discrepancies in reporting were common between similar PRISMA-P and PRISMA items. CONCLUSION Adherence to protocol reporting guidance was poor while manuscript reporting was comprehensive. Protocol completeness is not associated with a completely reported manuscript. Independently, PRISMA-P and PRISMA scores were weakly associated with higher quality assessments but insufficient as a surrogate for quality. Critical areas for quality improvement include protocol description, investigating causes of heterogeneity, and the impact of risk of bias on the evidence synthesis.

Abstract
Aims/Introduction To investigate the clinical outcomes of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who initiated dapagliflozin in real-world practice in Taiwan. Materials and Methods In this multicenter retrospective study, adult patients with T2DM who initiated dapagliflozin after May 1st 2016 either as add-on or switch therapy were included. Changes in clinical and laboratory parameters were evaluated at 3 and 6 months. Baseline factors associated with dapagliflozin response in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression. Results A total of 1,960 patients were eligible. At 6 months, significant changes were observed: HbA1c by −0.73% (95% confidence interval [CI] −0.80, −0.67), body weight was -1.61 kg (95% CI −1.79, −1.42), and systolic/diastolic blood pressure by −3.6/−1.4 mmHg. Add-on dapagliflozin showed significantly greater HbA1c reduction (−0.82%) than switched therapy (−0.66%) (p = 0.002). The proportion of patients achieving HbA1c <7% target increased from 6% at baseline to 19% at Month 6. Almost 80% of patients experienced at least 1% reduction in HbA1c, and 65% of patients showed both weight loss and reduction in HbA1c. Around 37% of patients had at least 3% weight loss. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated patients with higher baseline HbA1c and those who initiated dapagliflozin as add-on therapy were associated with a greater reduction in HbA1c. Conclusions In this real-world study with the highest patient number of Chinese population to date, the use of dapagliflozin was associated with significant improvement in glycemic control, body weight, and blood pressure in patients with T2DM. Initiating dapagliflozin as add-on therapy showed better glycemic control than as switch therapy.

Abstract
Approximately half of all patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) develop a certain degree of renal impairment. In many of them, chronic kidney disease (CKD) progresses over time, eventually leading to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) requiring dialysis and conveying a substantially increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Even with widespread use of renin-angiotensin system blockers and tight glycemic control, a substantial residual risk of nephropathy progression remains. Recent cardiovascular outcomes trials investigating sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have suggested that these therapies have renoprotective effects distinct from their glucose-lowering action, including the potential to reduce the rates of ESKD and acute kidney injury. Although patients in most cardiovascular outcomes trials had higher prevalence of existing cardiovascular disease compared with those normally seen in clinical practice, the proportion of patients with renal impairment was similar to that observed in a real-world context. Patient cardiovascular risk profiles did not relevantly impact the renoprotective benefits observed in these studies. Benefits were observed in patients across a spectrum of renal risk, but were evident also in those without renal damage, suggesting a role for SGLT2 inhibition in the prevention of CKD in people with T2D. In addition, recent studies such as CREDENCE and DAPA-CKD offer a greater insight into the renoprotective effects of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with moderate-to-severe CKD. This review outlines the evidence that SGLT2 inhibitors may prevent the development of CKD and prevent and delay the worsening of CKD in people with T2D at different levels of renal risk.

Abstract
Diabetes is a chronic progressive metabolic disease caused by insulin deficiency or insulin resistance. In spite of the availability of several antihyperglycaemics, there is a need for the development of safer antidiabetic drugs due to their undesirable effects. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors are a class of antidiabetics, which hinder the reabsorption of glucose in the kidneys, causing excretion of glucose via urine. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors are a well-tolerated class with no significant adverse effects and are found to be favorable in certain conditions, which may be rudimentary to cardiovascular and renal diseases. The current advancements in their design and development, their mechanism of action, structure–activity relationship, synthesis and in silico development along with their auxiliary roles have been extensively reviewed.

Practical Considerations and Rationale for Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonist Plus Sodium-Dependent Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitor Combination Therapy in Type 2 Diabetes. Can J Diabetes 2020; 45:291-302.

Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and sodium-dependent glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors have demonstrated clinically significant benefits on glycated hemoglobin, weight, blood pressure and cardiorenal outcomes. The emerging evidence from clinical trials and meta-analyses that assessed the combination of these 2 classes of drugs has been promising. An expert forum that included individuals with expertise in endocrine, cardiology and nephrology issues was held in May 2020 to review the literature on the metabolic and cardiorenal benefits of these 2 classes, independently and in combination, in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Although hard outcome data are not available, the group concluded that the combination of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists with sodium-dependent glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors is an emerging option for managing adults with type 2 diabetes as long as cost is not a barrier. Ongoing research may offer further insights on hard cardiorenal outcomes for this therapeutic combination as well as provide direction on the potential of this approach in obesity, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and populations without diabetes.

Abstract
The rationale for using sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) has evolved over the last decade. Due to the effects on glucosuria and body weight loss, SGLT2 inhibitors were originally approved for glycemic control in T2D. Since glucosuria is attenuated in chronic kidney disease (CKD) Stages 3–5, initial regulatory approval for SGLT2 inhibitor use was limited to patients with T2D and preserved estimated glomerular filtration rate. Over time, however, it has become increasingly apparent that these therapies have a variety of important pharmacodynamic and clinical effects beyond glycemic lowering, including antihypertensive and antialbuminuric properties, and the ability to reduce glomerular hypertension. Importantly, these sodium-related effects are preserved across CKD stages, despite attenuated glycemic effects, which are lost at CKD Stage 4. With the completion of cardiovascular (CV) outcome safety trials—EMPA-REG OUTCOME, CANVAS Program and DECLARE TIMI-58—in addition to reductions in CV events, SGLT2 inhibition consistently reduces hard renal endpoints. Importantly, these CV and renal effects are independent of glycemic control. Subsequent data from the recent CREDENCE trial—the first dedicated renal protection trial with SGLT-2 inhibition—demonstrated renal and CV benefits in albuminuric T2D patients, pivotal results that have expanded the clinical importance of these therapies. Ongoing trials will ultimately determine whether SGLT2 inhibition will have a role in renal protection in other clinical settings, including nondiabetic CKD and type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
Metformin remains the first pharmacological choice for treating hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in most international guidelines. Sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are increasingly used as add-on therapy. T2DM pathophysiology is different in Asian and non-Asian (mainly Caucasian) patients. The aim of this systematic review is to compare the efficacy of SGLT2is vs placebo added to metformin in randomized controlled trials (RCTs: range 12-52 weeks) in Asian versus non-Asian patients with T2DM. The primary endpoint is the reduction in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) from baseline and key secondary endpoints are reductions in fasting plasma glucose (FPG), body weight (BW) and systolic blood pressure (SBP). Systematic literature search collected 7 RCTs (3 with 2 doses) in Asian patients (10 analyses, n=1164, iSGLT2: canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, ertugliflozin, ipragliflozin, tofogliflozin)) and 10 RCTs (6 with two doses) in non-Asian patients (16 analyses, n=2482, iSGLT2: canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, empagliflozin, ertugliflozin, ipragliflozin). Baseline values of HbA1c (7.98±0.19 vs 7.89±0.27%), FPG (8.80 ±0.46 vs 9.11±0.49 mmol/l) and SBP (128.4±1.6 vs 130.2±3.1 mmHg) were not significantly different in Asian vs non-Asian patients, but BW was lower in Asian patients (71.6±4.8 vs 88.0±2.5 kg, p<0.001). The placebo-adjusted weighed mean differences (WMD, 95% CI) were similar in Asian versus non-Asian patients regarding the reductions in HbA1c -0.60 (-0.68, -0.53) % versus -0.54 (-0.59, -0.49) % (p=0.568), FPG -1.37 (-1.53, -1.22) mmol/l vs -1.37 (-1.47, -1.27) mmol/l (p=0.627), BW when expressed in percentage of baseline BW -2.23 (-2.55, -1.90) % vs -2.16 (-2.37, -1.96) % (p=0.324), and SBP -4.53 (-5.53, -3.53) mmHg vs -4.06 (-4.83, -3.29) mmHg) (p=0.223). In conclusion, clinical efficacy of SGLT2i, as an add-on treatment to metformin monotherapy in patients with T2DM, is similar in Asian versus non-Asian patients, despite known ethnic differences in phenotype and pathophysiology of T2DM.

Abstract
Recent clinical trials have shown that sodium glucose co-transport 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have dramatic beneficial cardiovascular outcomes. These include a reduced incidence of cardiovascular death and heart failure hospitalization in people with and without diabetes, and those with and without prevalent heart failure. The actual mechanism(s) responsible for these beneficial effects are not completely clear. Several potential theses have been proposed to explain the cardioprotective effects of SGLT2 inhibition, which include diuresis/natriuresis, blood pressure reduction, erythropoiesis, improved cardiac energy metabolism, inflammation reduction, inhibition of the sympathetic nervous system, prevention of adverse cardiac remodeling, prevention of ischemia/reperfusion injury, inhibition of the Na+/H+-exchanger, inhibition of SGLT1, reduction in hyperuricemia, increasing autophagy and lysosomal degradation, decreasing epicardial fat mass, increasing erythropoietin levels, increasing circulating pro-vascular progenitor cells, decreasing oxidative stress, and improving vascular function. The strengths and weaknesses of these proposed mechanisms are reviewed in an effort to try to synthesize and prioritize the mechanisms as they relate to clinical event reduction.

Abstract
Background Both Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) share common pathological features including inflammation, insulin signaling alterations, or vascular damage. AD has no successful treatment, and the close relationship between both diseases supports the study of antidiabetic drugs to limit or slow down brain pathology in AD. Empagliflozin (EMP) is a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor, the newest class of antidiabetic agents. EMP controls hyperglycemia and reduces cardiovascular comorbidities and deaths associated to T2D. Therefore, we have analyzed the role of EMP at the central level in a complex mouse model of AD-T2D. Methods We have treated AD-T2D mice (APP/PS1xdb/db mice) with EMP 10 mg/kg for 22 weeks. Glucose, insulin, and body weight were monthly assessed. We analyzed learning and memory in the Morris water maze and the new object discrimination test. Postmortem brain assessment was conducted to measure brain atrophy, senile plaques, and amyloid-β levels. Tau phosphorylation, hemorrhage burden, and microglia were also measured in the brain after EMP treatment. Results EMP treatment helped to maintain insulin levels in diabetic mice. At the central level, EMP limited cortical thinning and reduced neuronal loss in treated mice. Hemorrhage and microglia burdens were also reduced in EMP-treated mice. Senile plaque burden was lower, and these effects were accompanied by an amelioration of cognitive deficits in APP/PS1xdb/db mice. Conclusions Altogether, our data support a feasible role for EMP to reduce brain complications associated to AD and T2D, including classical pathological features and vascular disease, and supporting further assessment of EMP at the central level.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate ertugliflozin in patients with overweight and obesity with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS Data from three placebo-controlled, randomized, Phase 3 studies were pooled. Patients with baseline BMI ≥ 25 (1,377/1,544; 89%) were assessed with a stratification by BMI subgroup. RESULTS At week 26, reductions from baseline in glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose, body weight (BW), and systolic blood pressure (SBP) were greater with ertugliflozin versus placebo. For placebo, ertugliflozin 5 mg, and ertugliflozin 15 mg, respectively, least squares mean change was 0.1%, -0.8%, and -0.9% for HbA1c and -1.2 kg, -3.1 kg, and -3.2 kg for BW. HbA1c reductions were consistent across BMI subgroups. For ertugliflozin 5 mg and 15 mg, least squares mean change (placebo adjusted) in absolute BW was -1.4 kg and -1.2 kg for BMI 25 to < 30, -1.8 kg and -1.9 kg for BMI 30 to < 35, and -2.5 kg and -2.9 kg for BMI ≥ 35. Percent BW changes were similar across BMI subgroups. Incidence of adverse events was 52.5%, 44.6%, and 50.1% with placebo, ertugliflozin 5 mg, and ertugliflozin 15 mg, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Meaningful reductions in HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose, BW, and SBP were observed with ertugliflozin in patients with overweight and obesity with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Ertugliflozin improved HbA1c and SBP and reduced BW across BMI subgroups. Ertugliflozin was generally well tolerated.

Abstract
SGLT-2 inhibitors and most GLP-1 receptor agonists demonstrated cardiovascular superiority and reduction of cardiovascular and overall mortality. These results stand as a turning point in the management of diabetes, shifting the focus from controlling glucose levels to mastering the extra-glycemic effects of these new drugs. This narrative review will discuss recent CVOT with focus on SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists to distinguish relevant patients' characteristics as potential predictors for therapeutic efficacy. It will also examine their efficacy and safety, the differences in their cardiovascular and renal benefits, aiming to convey clinical suggestions for everyday practice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are hypoglycemic agents characterized by a weight loss effect. This effect is likely to increase blood levels of other drugs. Reason for the report: SGLT2 inhibitor-induced weight reduction could bring unexpected side effects of other drugs whose blood concentrations are affected by body weight. However, this interaction between SGLT2 inhibitor and other drugs via weight loss effect has not been reported so far. CASE SUMMARY I describe the case of a 67-year-old male with bipolar I disorder who was treated with valproate. He was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus, started treatment with empagliflozin, and his body weight decreased gradually. Two months after he started empagliflozin, he developed hand tremor which was one of the symptoms of valproate intoxication, and his tremor was improved by dose reduction of valproate. It seemed that this symptom was brought mainly by weight loss effect of empagliflozin. These observations suggest the existence of a detour where blood concentrations of some drugs are increased by weight loss due to SGLT2 inhibitors. Clinicians need to be aware of the blood levels of drugs in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus after starting SGLT2 inhibitors. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
The prevalence of obesity in Asia is of epidemic proportions, with an estimated 1 billion overweight/obese individuals in the region. The majority of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are overweight/obese, which increases the risk of cardiorenal outcomes in these patients; hence, sustained reductions in body weight and visceral adiposity are important management goals. However, most of the glucose-lowering therapies such as insulin, sulfonylureas, glinides, and thiazolidinediones induce weight gain, which makes the management of overweight/obese T2DM patients challenging. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors are the only oral glucose-lowering agents that have been shown to reduce body weight and visceral adiposity. In addition, SGLT-2 inhibitors therapy reduces ectopic fat deposition and improves adipose tissue function and weight-related quality of life. In this article, we aim to consolidate the existing literature on the effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors in Asian patients with T2DM and to produce clinical recommendations on their use in overweight or obese patients with T2DM. Recommendations from international and regional guidelines, as well as published data from clinical trials in Asian populations and cardiovascular outcomes trials are reviewed. Based on the available data, SGLT-2 inhibitors represent an evidence-based therapeutic option for the management of overweight/obese patients with T2DM.

Abstract
CONTEXT Sodium Glucose Co-Transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are oral antidiabetic agents that can be used with insulin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, known for cardiovascular and renal benefits. Dapagliflozin and empagliflozin are available in Turkey and we aimed to evaluate real-life data of using these two molecules with other oral antidiabetic drugs (OAD) or insulin. SUBJECTS AND METHODS 119 patients (59 women, 60 men) files who had started SGLT2i between 2017-2019 were examined retrospectively until 6 months after the treatment change. Patients' weight, body mass index (BMI), insulin doses, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, lipid profile, spot urine albumin/creatinine ratio, e-GFR values, ALT, AST, uric acid levels were evaluated at baseline, 3 months and 6 months. RESULTS 41.2% of patients were using dapagliflozin and 58.8% were using empagliflozin. After 6 months of follow-up, HbA1c decreased from 8.27% to 7.45% (p<0.001). Daily total insulin dose decreased from 84.75 to 75.58 U/day in 3 months (p<0.004). Weight and BMI decreased significantly at 6 months. ALT, AST decreased significantly in patients using insulin (p 0.001 and 0.007), whereas spot urine microalbumin/creatinine ratio decreased at 3 and 6 months (p 0.005 and 0.020). A significant decrease was also observed in uric acid levels (p: 0.026). CONCLUSIONS Dapagliflozin and empagliflozin have beneficial effects on decreasing glycemic parameters, weight, transaminases, uric acid and microalbuminuria in the real life environment. We also observed that SGLT2i and insulin combination is as safe and effective as combination with OAD.

Abstract
We investigated the effect of a combination treatment with dapagliflozin (Dapa), a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor and butyrate on weight change in db/db mice. Six-week-old male db/db mice were assigned to four groups: vehicle with normal chow diet (NCD), Dapa with NCD, vehicle with 5% sodium butyrate-supplemented NCD (NaB), or Dapa with 5% NaB. After six weeks of treatment, faecal microbiota composition was analysed by sequencing 16S ribosomal RNA genes. In the vehicle with NaB and Dapa + NaB groups, body weight increase was attenuated, and amount of food intake decreased compared with the vehicle with the NCD group. The Dapa + NaB group gained the least total and abdominal fat from baseline. Intestinal microbiota of this group was characterized by a decrease of the Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes ratio, a decrease of Adlercreutzia and Alistipes, as well as an increase of Streptococcus. In addition, the proportion of Adlercreutzia and Alistipes showed a positive correlation with total fat gain, whereas Streptococcus showed a negative correlation. Inferred metagenome function revealed that tryptophan metabolism was upregulated by NaB treatment. We demonstrated a synergistic effect of Dapa and NaB treatment on adiposity reduction, and this phenomenon might be related to intestinal microbiota alteration.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW We seek to characterize the impact of bariatric surgery on diabetes mellitus by recalling its history, examining the clinical data, exploring the putative mechanisms of action, and anticipating its future. RECENT FINDINGS Results of clinical trials reveal that bariatric surgery induces remission of diabetes in 33-90% of individuals at 1-year post-treatment versus 0-39% of medically managed. Remission rates decrease over time but remain higher in surgically treated individuals. Investigations have revealed numerous actions of surgery including effects on intestinal physiology, neuronal signaling, incretin hormone secretion, bile acid metabolism, and microbiome changes. Bariatric surgery improves control of diabetes through both weight-dependent and weight-independent actions. These various mechanisms help explain the difference between individuals treated surgically vs. medically. They also explain differing effects of various bariatric surgery procedure types. Understanding how surgery affects diabetes will help optimize utilization of the therapy for both disease prevention and treatment.

Abstract
: The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) has increased over the past few decades. T2D has a strong genetic propensity that becomes overt when a patient is exposed to a typical Western lifestyle, gain weight and becomes obese, whereas weight loss protects from the development of T2D. Except of lifestyle modifications, the choice of the appropriate treatment is essential in the management of patients with T2D and appears critical for the obese population with T2D. The new pharmacological approach for the treatment of T2D, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists, seems to be effective not only in the management of T2D but also for weight loss, reduction of blood pressure and improvement of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide 1 analogues reduced cardiovascular risk, prevented cardiovascular disease and mortality, thereby playing an important role in the treatment of obese patients with hypertension and T2D.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are a relatively newer class of anti-hyperglycemic medications that reduce blood glucose by inhibition of renal glucose re-uptake, thereby increasing urinary glucose excretion. Although glycosuria is the primary mechanism of action of these agents, there is some evidence suggesting they can reduce insulin resistance and induce peripheral insulin sensitivity. Identifying the molecular mechanisms by which these medications improve glucose homeostasis can help us to develop newer forms of SGLT2i with lesser side effects. We have reviewed the molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways by which SGLT2i therapy improve insulin sensitivity and ameliorates insulin resistance.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are glucose-lowering drugs that reduce plasma glucose levels by inhibiting glucose and sodium reabsorption in the kidneys, thus resulting in glucosuria. Their effects consequently include reductions in HbA1c, blood glucose levels, and blood pressure, but also reductions in body weight and adiposity. The ability to reduce body weight is consistently observed in individuals taking SGLT2 inhibitors, but this weight loss is moderate due to counter-regulatory mechanisms striving to maintain body weight. This has prompted exploration of SGLT2 inhibitors in combination with other agents acting via decreased food intake, e.g., glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs). The bodyweight effects are promising, and together with the signs of prevention of cardiovascular and renal events, such combinations including SGLT2 inhibitors are appealing. The weight loss is clinically important, as most individuals with type 2 diabetes are overweight or obese, but also because there is an unmet need for safe, effective, and durable weight loss interventions in obese individuals without diabetes.

Abstract
Current treatment of diabetic nephropathy is effective; however, substantial gaps in care still remain and new therapies are urgently needed to reduce the global burden of the complication. Desirable properties of an "ideal" new drug should include primary prevention of microalbuminuria, additive/synergistic anti-proteinuric effect in combination therapy with renin angiotensin system blockers, reduction of chronic kidney disease progression to lower the risk of end-stage renal disease, and cardiovascular protection. Growing evidence suggests that sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) may fulfil many of these criteria and represent novel tools to cover the unmet needs in diabetic nephropathy care. However, the underlying mechanisms of SGLT2i renal benefits are still poorly understood and promising results from cardiovascular outcome trials with SGLT2i need confirmation in dedicated renal outcome trials.

Abstract
Dapagliflozin belongs in the family of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and acts by reducing glucose reabsorption in the proximal tubule. The aim of this review is to present the differential pharmacology and clinical utility of dapagliflozin. Dapagliflozin is orally administered, has a long half-life of 12.9 hours and (similar to empagliflozin) is a much weaker SGLT1 inhibitor compared with canagliflozin. Dapagliflozin significantly decreases glycated hemoglobin and fasting glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The drug improves body weight, blood pressure, uric acid, triglycerides and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. In the DECLARE-TIMI 58 trial, a large trial of 17,160 T2DM patients with established cardiovascular disease (CVD) or without established CVD but with multiple risk factors, dapagliflozin compared with placebo resulted in a significantly lower rate of the composite outcome of CVD death or hospitalization for heart failure (HHF); this effect was mainly due to a lower rate of HHF in the dapagliflozin group (HR: 0.73; 95%CI: 0.61–0.88), whereas no difference was observed in the rate of CVD death (HR: 0.98; 95%CI: 0.82–1.17). Moreover, dapagliflozin was noninferior to placebo with respect to major adverse CVD events. Dapagliflozin exerts beneficial effects on albuminuria. Additionally, in the DECLARE-TIMI 58 trial it significantly reduced the composite renal endpoint (40% decrease in glomerular filtration rate, end stage renal disease, or renal death) in both patients with established CVD and patients with multiple risk factors (overall HR: 0.53; 95%CI: 0.43–0.66). However dapagliflozin, like the other SGLT2 inhibitors, is associated with an increased risk of genital and urinary tract infections (usually mild mycotic infections) and acute kidney injury in cases of reduced extracellular volume. Dapagliflozin is a useful antidiabetic treatment which also exerts beneficial effects in the management of heart failure and diabetic kidney disease.

Abstract
Background Patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are often insulin resistant. Several recent studies show NAFLD to be associated with cardiovascular risk. Bioimpedance analysis (BIA) is a common approach for body composition measurements and is a noninvasive, low-cost modality. Shear-wave elastography (SWE) works using an acoustic radiation force pulse sequence that generates shear-waves that estimates the liver stiffness. Objectives The primary objective was to assess the correlation between SWE values and BIA values in an Indian population. The hypothesis is that with the increase in BIA value measuring visceral fat percentage, the SWE value measuring liver stiffness should increase. Materials and methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of clinic data of 36 patients properly screened from July 2018 to December 2018, who matched our prespecified inclusion criteria. Statistical analysis was performed using GraphPad Insta Version 3.0® using regression analysis. Visceral fat percentage and skeletal muscle percentage of lower limbs were calculated using an Omron HBF 375® analyzer. SWE values for liver fat were measured using a Philips Affinity 70® using two-dimensional imaging and expressed in kilopascal (kPa) units. Results We found that 88.88% of the patients with diabetes had above normal SWE values (2.0 to 4.5 kPa), and a corresponding 83.33% of patients had above the high cut-off for BIA values (>10%) but without any positive correlation between the two parameters as evident from the p-value of 0.079. Conclusions This study found a high prevalence of fat burden amongst our patients with type 2 diabetes and NAFLD. This is the first of its kind of study where we searched for a correlation between the two commonly used parameters in assessing the fat burden and liver stiffness of an individual but found there was no significant correlation between the two parameters used.
