Ha KH, Kim DJ, Choi YJ. Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors do not increase the risk of fractures in real-world clinical practice in Korea: A national observational cohort study. J Diabetes Investig 2022; 13:986-996. [PMID: 35132815 PMCID: PMC9153829 DOI: 10.1111/jdi.13768] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2021] [Revised: 01/07/2022] [Accepted: 02/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION This study aimed to determine whether sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) were related to increased fracture risk in adults with type 2 diabetes compared to dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i). MATERIALS AND METHODS Between May 1, 2016, and December 31, 2018, we conducted a new-user cohort study using the Korean National Health Insurance Service database. Propensity score matching was performed on 478,826 new users of an SGLT2 inhibitor or DPP-4 inhibitor. After propensity score matching on > 80 covariates, 84,460 individuals were initiated on SGLT2i or DPP-4i, with 42,230 individuals in each treatment group. The time to first fracture event was compared between the SGLT2i and DPP-4i groups using Cox proportional hazard models, and the results are reported as hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for fracture occurrence. Subgroup analyses investigated fractures between treatment groups according to baseline characteristics. RESULTS Individuals who were started on SGLT2i were not linked with increased fracture risk in both as-treated (AT) and intention-to-treat (ITT) analyses (AT: HR 0.98, 95% CI 0.92-1.04; ITT: HR 0.94, 95% CI 0.89-1.00). We identified no significant interaction between the individuals' age, sex, fracture history, or thiazolidinedione usage in any subgroup analyses, indicating that none of these variables appeared to be impact modifiers in the connection between SGLT2i and fractures. CONCLUSIONS Our study found no increase in the risk of fracture among individuals treated with SGLT2i in a real-world clinical setting for type 2 diabetes.

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.

Differential effect of canagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, on slow and fast skeletal muscles from nondiabetic mice. Biochem J 2022; 479:425-444. [PMID: 35048967 PMCID: PMC8883489 DOI: 10.1042/bcj20210700] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2021] [Revised: 01/19/2022] [Accepted: 01/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
There has been a concern that sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors could reduce skeletal muscle mass and function. Here, we examine the effect of canagliflozin (CANA), an SGLT2 inhibitor, on slow and fast muscles from nondiabetic C57BL/6J mice. In this study, mice were fed with or without CANA under ad libitum feeding, and then evaluated for metabolic valuables as well as slow and fast muscle mass and function. We also examined the effect of CANA on gene expressions and metabolites in slow and fast muscles. During SGLT2 inhibition, fast muscle function is increased, as accompanied by increased food intake, whereas slow muscle function is unaffected, although slow and fast muscle mass is maintained. When the amount of food in CANA-treated mice is adjusted to that in vehicle-treated mice, fast muscle mass and function are reduced, but slow muscle was unaffected during SGLT2 inhibition. In metabolome analysis, glycolytic metabolites and ATP are increased in fast muscle, whereas glycolytic metabolites are reduced but ATP is maintained in slow muscle during SGLT2 inhibition. Amino acids and free fatty acids are increased in slow muscle, but unchanged in fast muscle during SGLT2 inhibition. The metabolic effects on slow and fast muscles are exaggerated when food intake is restricted. This study demonstrates the differential effects of an SGLT2 inhibitor on slow and fast muscles independent of impaired glucose metabolism, thereby providing new insights into how they should be used in patients with diabetes, who are at a high risk of sarcopenia.

[PMID: 34992535 PMCID: PMC8724779 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2021.781379] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2021] [Accepted: 12/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: To compare the effects of empagliflozin and linagliptin use on kidney outcomes of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients in a real-world setting. Methods: The study involved a propensity score-matched cohort comprising new users of empagliflozin or linagliptin with T2DM between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2018 from a large healthcare delivery system in Taiwan. Clinical outcomes assessed: acute kidney injury (AKI), post-AKI dialysis, and mortality. Cox proportional hazard model was used to estimate the relative risk of empagliflozin or linagliptin use; a linear mixed model was used to compare the average change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) over time. Results: Of the 7,042 individuals, 67 of 3,521 (1.9%) in the empagliflozin group and 144 of 3,521 (4.1%) in the linagliptin group developed AKI during the 2 years follow-up. Patients in the empagliflozin group were at a 40% lower risk of developing AKI compared to those in the linagliptin group (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 0.60; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.45-0.82, p = 0.001). Stratified analysis showed that empagliflozin users ≥65 years of age (aHR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.43-1.13, p = 0.148), or with a baseline eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73 m2 (aHR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.57-1.65, p = 0.899), or with a baseline glycohemoglobin ≦7% (aHR, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.51-2.00, p =0.973) experienced attenuated benefits with respect to AKI risk. A smaller decline in eGFR was observed in empagliflozin users compared to linagliptin users regardless of AKI occurrence (adjusted β = 1.51; 95% CI, 0.30-2.72 ml/min/1.73 m2, p = 0.014). Conclusion: Empagliflozin users were at a lower risk of developing AKI and exhibited a smaller eGFR decline than linagliptin users. Thus, empagliflozin may be a safer alternative to linagliptin for T2DM patients.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this cross-sectional study is to compare creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcr) and cystatin C-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcys) between patients with type 2 diabetes receiving and not receiving sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. METHODS The plasma specimens from 90 patients with type 2 diabetes who had been receiving SGLT2 inhibitors for at least 24 weeks (SGLT2 inhibitors group) were selected. Meanwhile, the plasma specimens from age-, sex- and BMI-matched patients with type 2 diabetes not receiving SGLT2 inhibitors (non-SGLT2 inhibitors group) in 1:1 matching were also selected for comparison. eGFRcr and eGFRcys were calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation. RESULTS When compared with the non-SGLT2 inhibitors group, eGFRcr was significantly higher in the SGLT2 inhibitors group (70.54 ± 24.87 vs. 79.95 ± 19.57 mL/min/1.73 m2 , p = 0.014) while eGFRcys was not different (66.32 ± 24.98 vs 69.17 ± 20.10 ml/min/1.73 m2 , p = 0.401). Based on eGFRcr, the chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage in the SGLT2 inhibitors group was lower than that in the non-SGLT2 inhibitors group, but it was not different when CKD stage was classified by eGFRcys. The difference between eGFRcr and eGFRcys (eGFRcr-cys) was significantly higher in the SGLT2 inhibitors group (4.22 ± 11.20 vs. 10.78 ± 10.42 ml/min/1.73 m2 , p < 0.001). In male patients, there was significant correlation between the eGFRcr-cys and duration of receiving SGLT-2 inhibitors (r = 0.398, p = 0.004). This correlation was not found in female patients. CONCLUSIONS There was a discrepancy between eGFRcr and eGFRcys in patients with type 2 diabetes receiving SGLT2 inhibitors when compared with those not receiving SGLT2 inhibitors.

Abstract
After examining the complex interplay between heart failure (HF) in its various clinical forms, metabolic disorders like nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome, in this mini-review we described possible favorable effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) on HF with preserved (i.e., ≥ 50%) ejection fraction (HFpEF) through enhanced cardiorenal function and visceral-subcutaneous body fat redistribution. In greater detail, on the basis of pathophysiological mechanisms underlying OSA onset and the direct positive SGLT2i effect on renal function benefiting chronic kidney disease, we emphasized the promising role of SGLT2is in prevention, rehabilitation, and treatment of patients with OSA regardless of coexisting type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Indeed, SGLT2is enhance lipolysis and fatty acid beta-oxidation. These phenomena might prevent OSA by reducing the size of visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue and, as proven in humans and animals with T2DM, counteract NAFLD onset and progression. The aforementioned mechanisms may represent an additional SGLT2i cardioprotective effect in terms of HFpEF prevention in patients with OSA, whose NAFLD prevalence is estimated to be over 50%.

Abstract
This systematic review addresses the central research question, "what is known from the published, peer-reviewed literature about the impact of diabetes on the risk of bacterial urinary tract infections (UTI)?" We examine the results from laboratory studies where researchers have successfully adapted mouse models of diabetes to study the pathophysiology of ascending UTI. These studies have identified molecular and cellular effectors shaping immune defenses against infection of the diabetic urinary tract. In addition, we present evidence from clinical studies that in addition to diabetes, female gender, increased age, and diabetes-associated hyperglycemia, glycosuria, and immune impairment are important risk factors which further increase the risk of UTI in diabetic individuals. Clinical studies also show that the uropathogenic genera causing UTI are largely similar between diabetic and nondiabetic individuals, although diabetes significantly increases risk of UTI by drug-resistant uropathogenic bacteria.

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
Background Obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus often develop obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). In this study, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) was initiated in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who developed OSAS during treatment with a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, and the effect of the SGLT2 inhibitor therapy on the patients was investigated. Methods The study was conducted in outpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with serum hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) values of ≥ 6.5% who developed OSAS. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether they were receiving treatment with an SGLT2 inhibitor or with other oral hypoglycemic agents: the SGLT2 inhibitor group (n = 9) and non-SGLT2 inhibitor group (n = 7). The patients in the former group were under treatment with one of the following three SGLT2 inhibitors: luseogliflozin (2.5 mg/day), dapagliflozin (5 mg/day) and empagliflozin (10 mg/day). The patients took the drugs once daily, before or after breakfast. The patients were initiated on CPAP therapy for OSAS, and their weight, body mass index (BMI), serum HbA1c level, lipid profile, liver function parameters, serum uric acid, and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) measured before the initiation of CPAP therapy (baseline) were compared with the values measured 3 months after the start of CPAP therapy. Results The AHI decreased significantly after 3 months of CPAP therapy, as compared to that at the baseline, in both the SGLT2 inhibitor and non-SGLT2 inhibitor groups. There was no significant change in the serum HbA1c value after 3 months of CPAP therapy as compared to that at the baseline in either group. The body weight and BMI increased significantly after 3 months of CPAP therapy in the SGLT2 inhibitor group, but not in the non-SGLT2 inhibitor group. Conclusion The body weight and BMI increased significantly after 3 months of CPAP therapy initiated for OSAS in the type 2 diabetic patients who were receiving SGLT2 inhibitor therapy. Thus, when CPAP therapy is adopted for an obese diabetic patient with OSAS, it should be borne in mind that the body weight may increase if the patient is receiving SGLT2 inhibitor treatment.

Abstract
Sarcopenia, characterized by loss of skeletal muscle mass, quality, and strength, has become a common hallmark of ageing and many chronic diseases. Diabetes mellitus patients have a higher prevalence of sarcopenia, which greatly aggravates the metabolic disturbance and compromises treatment response. Preclinical and clinical studies have shown differential impacts of anti-diabetic drugs on skeletal muscle mass, strength, and performance, highlighting the importance of rational therapeutic regimen from the perspective of sarcopenia risk. In this review, we provide an update on the regulation of muscle mass and quality by major anti-diabetic drugs, focusing primarily on emerging data from clinical studies. We also discuss the underlying mechanisms and clinical implications for optimal selection of anti-diabetic drugs to reduce the risk of sarcopenia. In view of the lifelong use of anti-diabetic drugs, we propose that a better understanding of the sarcopenia risk and interventional strategies is worthy of attention in future studies.

Empagliflozin Ameliorates Free Fatty Acid Induced-Lipotoxicity in Renal Proximal Tubular Cells via the PPARγ/CD36 Pathway in Obese Mice. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222212408. [PMID: 34830289 PMCID: PMC8621539 DOI: 10.3390/ijms222212408] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2021] [Revised: 11/15/2021] [Accepted: 11/15/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
High serum levels of free fatty acids (FFAs) could contribute to obesity-induced nephropathy. CD36, a class B scavenger receptor, is a major receptor mediating FFA uptake in renal proximal tubular cells. Empagliflozin, a new anti-diabetic agent, is a specific inhibitor of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 channels presented on renal proximal tubular cells and inhibits glucose reabsorption. In addition, empagliflozin has shown renoprotective effects. However, the mechanism through which empagliflozin regulates CD36 expression and attenuates FFA-induced lipotoxicity remains unclear. Herein, we aimed to elucidate the crosstalk between empagliflozin and CD36 in FFA-induced renal injury. C57BL/6 mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) and palmitic acid-treated HK-2 renal tubular cells were used for in vivo and in vitro assessments. Empagliflozin attenuated HFD-induced body weight gain, insulin resistance, and inflammation in mice. In HFD-fed mice, CD36 was upregulated in the tubular area of the kidney, whereas empagliflozin attenuated CD36 expression. Furthermore, empagliflozin downregulated the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-γ. Treatment with a PPARγ inhibitor (GW9662) did not further decrease PPARγ expression, whereas a PPARγ antagonist reversed this effect; this suggested that empagliflozin may, at least partly, decrease CD36 by modulating PPARγ. In conclusion, empagliflozin can ameliorate FFA-induced renal tubular injury via the PPARγ/CD36 pathway.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose transport protein 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a new class of oral hypoglycemic agents that increase urinary glucose excretion independently of insulin secretion, although an apparently simple mechanism, but with multiple metabolic effects. Dapagliflozin was the first SGLT2 inhibitor marketed in Europe in 2012 for the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes, and consequently, with the greatest clinical experience. The results of different clinical trials and real-life studies have demonstrated its effectiveness in glycemic control, as they reduce glycosylated hemoglobin, while achieving a decrease in body weight and blood pressure, among others, providing a comprehensive metabolic protection.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in reducing the incidence of mortality and cardiovascular outcomes in adults with type 2 diabetes. Methods and Results We conducted a Bayesian meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors with placebo. We used meta‐regression to examine the association between treatment effects and control group event rates as measures of cardiovascular baseline risk. Fifty‐three randomized controlled trials were included in our synthesis. Empagliflozin, canagliflozin, and dapagliflozin reduced the incidence of all‐cause mortality (empagliflozin: rate ratio [RR], 0.79; 95% credibility interval [CrI], 0.63–0.97; canagliflozin: RR, 0.86; 95% CrI, 0.69–1.05; dapagliflozin: RR, 0.86; 95% CrI, 0.72–1.01) and cardiovascular mortality (empagliflozin: RR, 0.78; 95% CrI, 0.61–1.00; canagliflozin: RR, 0.83; 95% CrI, 0.63–1.05; dapagliflozin: RR, 0.88; 95% CrI, 0.71–1.08), with a 90.1% to 98.7% probability for the true RR to be <1.00 for both outcomes. There was little evidence for ertugliflozin and sotagliflozin versus placebo for reducing all‐cause and cardiovascular mortality. There was no association between treatment effects for all‐cause and cardiovascular mortality and the control group event rates. There was evidence for a reduction in the incidence of heart failure for empagliflozin, canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and ertugliflozin versus placebo (probability RR <1.00 of ≥99.3%) and weaker, albeit positive, evidence for acute myocardial infarction for the first 3 agents (probability RR <1.00 of 89.0%–95.2%). There was little evidence of any agent except canagliflozin for reducing the incidence of stroke. Conclusions Empagliflozin, canagliflozin, and dapagliflozin reduced the incidence of all‐cause and cardiovascular mortality versus placebo. Treatment effects of sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors versus placebo do not vary by baseline risk.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered the most prevalent chronic hepatic disease, as it has been estimated that one of four individuals in the general population has been affected by NAFLD. The evolution of the referred entity, which includes nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and hepatic fibrosis, may have crucial and even fatal consequences, leading to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Although NAFLD has also been linked with cardiovascular and renal diseases, and all-cause mortality increment, pharmacological therapy is as yet an unfulfilled demand. Since NAFLD is closely associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a variety of anti-diabetic drugs have been investigated for their effectiveness towards NAFLD. Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) improve blood glucose levels through increasing renal glucose excretion and they are recommended as one of standard therapeutic categories for T2DM patients. Based on preclinical animal studies, SGLT-2i have shown a beneficial effect on NAFLD, inducing histologically proven amelioration of hepatic steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis. Promising data have been also derived by clinical trials, which have indicated a potentially beneficial effect of SGLT-2i on NAFLD, at least in terms of liver function tests and imaging. Thus, it is not strange that there are many ongoing trials on the effect of various SGLT-2i in NAFLD. In conclusion, current evidence concerning the effect of SGLT-2i on NAFLD is encouraging; however, data from ongoing clinical trials with histological endpoints are awaited.

Abstract
Objective: To determine the efficacy and safety of Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) use in the Pakistani population. Methods: Retrospective review of initial 100 patients who were prescribed with any agent of the SGLT2i group from July 1, 2018, to January 2019 at Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi. SGLT2i was offered to patients of above 18 years of age with inadequate glycemic control on existing antidiabetic agents. Changes in HbA1c, the Body Mass Index (BMI), serum creatinine, any decrease in the requirement of insulin and sulphonylurea dose along with any side effects reported by the patients on follow-up visits. Results: Most study participants were females (56%) with the mean age of 52±10 years. Substantial changes were observed in the HbA1c (7.5±1.1%, 7.9±1.2% from 8.7±1.5%, p < 0.01), BMI (31.4±5.8, 31.8±5.8 from 32.4±5.9kg/m2, p < 0.01) and in creatinine (0.71±0.1, 0.75±0.1 from 0.79±0.1 mg/dl, p < 0.01) at three and six months of follow up visits. The reduction in insulin and sulphonylurea doses was also significant. Adverse drug events that led to drug discontinuation in 14 individuals were, Urinary tract infection (UTI) (seven patients), Genital infection (three patients), nausea +UTI, abdominal pain +UTI, mild Diabetic Ketoacidosis, and polyuria (one patient each). None reported Fournier’s gangrene, limb amputation, or fracture. Conclusion: SGLT2i significantly improved glycemic control, BMI, and serum creatinine in the Pakistani population with a very low number of observed adverse events.

Abstract
AIMS We investigated the associations between obesity, cardiorenal events, and benefits of dapagliflozin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS AND RESULTS DECLARE-TIMI 58 randomized patients with T2DM and either atherosclerotic cardiovascular (CV) disease or multiple risk factors to dapagliflozin vs. placebo. Patients were stratified by body mass index (BMI, kg/m2): normal (18.5 to <25), overweight (25 to <30), moderately obese (30 to <35), severely obese (35 to <40), and very-severely obese (≥40). Outcomes analysed were CV death, hospitalization for heart failure (HHF), renal-specific composite outcome, and atrial fibrillation or flutter (AF/AFL). Of 17 134 patients, 9.0% had a normal BMI, 31.5% were overweight, 32.4% were moderately, 17.2% severely, and 9.8% were very-severely obese. Higher BMI was associated with a higher adjusted risk of HHF and AF/AFL (hazard ratio 1.30 and 1.28, respectively, per 5 kg/m2; P < 0.001 for all). Dapagliflozin reduced body weight by similar relative amounts consistently across BMI categories (percent difference: -1.9 to -2.4%). Although relative risk reductions in CV and renal-specific composite outcomes with dapagliflozin did not significantly differ across the range of BMI (P for interaction ≥0.20 for all outcomes), obese patients (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) tended to derive greater absolute risk reduction in HHF and AF/AFL (P for interaction 0.02 and 0.09, respectively) than non-obese patients. CONCLUSIONS In DECLARE-TIMI 58, patients with T2DM and higher BMI were more likely to have HHF and AF/AFL. Whereas relative risk reductions in CV and renal outcomes with dapagliflozin were generally consistent across the range of BMI, absolute risk reduction in obesity-related outcomes including HHF and AF/AFL tended to be larger in obese patients with T2DM.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT) 2 inhibitors reduce glucose reabsorption in the kidney, increase glucosuria, and improve glycemia. Besides glycemic efficacy, the class also lowers risk of cardiovascular and renal disease. AREAS COVERED The authors describe late phase trials of empagliflozin, canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and ertugliflozin. Safety and efficacy endpoints in monotherapy, combination therapy, cardiovascular, and renal outcomes trials have been identified and presented. EXPERT OPINION SGLT2 inhibitors appear to be safe and effective agents that improve glycemia when used alone or in combination with any other approved antihyperglycemic medications. Other beneficial effects include reductions in body weight and blood pressure, improvements in renal outcomes, all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and worsening heart failure.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The obesity epidemic is closely linked to the rising prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Body weight reduction remains an important challenge in patients with T2D, as it requires changing their overall metabolic control. Of all glucose-lowering therapies, only sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) consistently result in weight improvement. Moreover, the same two classes have important cardiovascular and renal benefits. We summarize the key available information related to the weight loss effect of SGLT2is in T2D, focusing on the unexploited potential of these drugs. METHODS Data on weight change with SGLT2is in patients with T2D were extracted from published cardiovascular outcomes trials (CVOTs). A discussion on patient perspectives about weight change is based on key preclinical and clinical trials, meta-analyses, and reviews and is supplemented by the authors' clinical judgment and research experience in the field. RESULTS SGLT2is have a unique mode of action resulting in caloric loss through glycosuria. The anticipated weight loss with SGLT2is is not reflected in clinical trial results. There is a discrepancy between the magnitude of improvement in glycemic control and the weight loss, cardiovascular, and renal benefits obtained in large clinical trials. CONCLUSION The relationships between the magnitude of weight loss, improvement in glycemic control, and cardiorenal benefits with SGLT2i are still unclear. Potential mechanisms other than simple glycemic efficacy should be revealed and explained. Better weight control may be achieved if adequately intensive lifestyle changes are implemented and monitored in the T2D population treated with SGLT2is.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is characterized by frequent apnoea episodes during sleep due to upper airway obstruction. The present review summarizes current knowledge on inter-relationships between OSA and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and suggests the former as a possible target for sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i). Based on pathophysiological mechanisms underlying OSA onset and renal SGLT-2 effects, we suggest that SGLT-2i indications might expand beyond current ones, including glucose, lipids, uric acid, blood pressure, and body weight control as well as chronic heart failure and kidney disease prevention.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obesity is frequently a comorbidity of type 2 diabetes. Even modest weight loss can significantly improve glucose homeostasis and lessen cardiometabolic risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes, but lifestyle-based weight loss strategies are not long-term effective. There is an increasing need to consider pharmacological approaches to assist weight loss in the so called diabesity syndrome. Aim of this review is to analyze the weight-loss effect of non-insulin glucose lowering drugs in patients with type 2 diabetes. MATERIAL AND METHODS A systematic analysis of the literature on the effect of non-insulin glucose lowering drugs on weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes was performed. For each class of drugs, the following parameters were analyzed: kilograms lost on average, effect on body mass index and body composition. RESULTS Our results suggested that anti-diabetic drugs can be stratified into 3 groups based on their efficacy in weight loss: metformin, acarbose, empagliflozin and exenatide resulted in a in a mild weight loss (less than 3.2% of initial weight); canagliflozin, ertugliflozin, dapagliflozin and dulaglutide induces a moderate weight loss (between 3.2% and 5%); liraglutide, semaglutide and tirzepatide resulted in a strong weight loss (greater than 5%). CONCLUSIONS This study shows that new anti-diabetic drugs, particularly GLP1-RA and Tirzepatide, are the most effective in inducing weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes. Interestingly, exenatide appears to be the only GLP1-RA that induces a mild weight loss.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of metformin alone and combined treatment with metformin and an SGLT2 inhibitor on retinal microvascular morphology using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in isolated type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients with HbA1c above the expected target (>7%). METHODS Fifty patients with isolated DM, 7%<HbA1c<8%, without diabetic retinopathy (DR) using 500mg metformin ×2 for glycemic control were included in the study. OCTA and BMI measurements were obtained at the first evaluation. Treatment was changed to metformin 1000mg ×2. Patients who did not develop side effects due to the metformin were defined as the metformin-tolerant group (group-1). Patients who developed side effects were defined as the metformin-intolerant group (group-2), and their treatment was changed to metformin 500mg ×2 and empagliflozin 10mg. The second evaluation was performed three months after the last treatment change. RESULTS HbA1c was lower on the second evaluation in both groups (P<0.001, in both). On the second evaluation in group-1, a decrease was found in superficial perifoveal and deep parafoveal macular vascular plexus densities (P: 0.040 and P: 0.020, respectively). No statistically significant difference was observed in group-2. CONCLUSION SGLT2 inhibitors may contribute to preventing the development of preclinical DR. In patients with metformin intolerance, adding SGLT2 inhibitors may be a reasonable choice to protect the retina.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, a class of drugs that promote urinary glucose excretion in the treatment of diabetes, have provoked large interest of scientific and professional community due to their positive and, somehow, unexpected results in the three major cardiovascular outcome trials (EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial with empagliflozin, CANVAS Program with canagliflozin, and DECLARE-TIMI 58 with dapagliflozin). In fact, along with the reduction of major adverse cardiovascular events, SGLT2 inhibitors reduced significantly hospitalization for heart failure regardless of existing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease or a history of heart failure. The latter have reminded us of the frequent but neglected entity of diabetic cardiomyopathy which is currently poorly understood despite its great clinical importance. Physiological mechanisms responsible for the benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors are complex and multifactorial and still not well defined. Interestingly, the time frame of their effect excludes a glucose- and antiatherosclerotic-mediated effect. It would be of great importance to better understand SGLT2 inhibitor mechanisms of action since they could have a potential to be used in early stages of diabetes as cardioprotective agents. There are widely available biomarkers as well as echocardiography that are used in everyday clinical practice and could elucidate physiological mechanisms in the heart protection with SGLT2 inhibitors treatment but studies are still lacking. The purpose of this minireview is to summarize the latest concepts about SGLT2 inhibitors and its benefits regarding diabetic cardiomyopathy especially on its early stage development and to discuss controversies and potential future developments in the field.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2) are drugs that have been reported to have several effects through the regulation of plasma volume, for example, antihypertensive effects. This study aimed to clarify the impact of long-term administration and subsequent discontinuation of the SGLT2 inhibitor tofogliflozin on estimated plasma volume (ePV), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and the relationship between changes in ePV, BNP and body weight (BW). Data from 157 participants with type 2 diabetes receiving tofogliflozin monotherapy in a phase 3 study were analysed. Changes in variables or correlations among them during a 52-week administration and a 2-week post-treatment period were investigated. Percent change in ePV was calculated using the Strauss formula. Significant decreases in BW, ePV and ln-transformed BNP (ln-BNP) were noted by week 52. %ΔBW was not significantly correlated with %ΔePV and Δln-BNP, while %ΔePV was significantly correlated with Δln-BNP. Two weeks after discontinuation of tofogliflozin, BW, ePV and ln-BNP were significantly increased. %ΔBW was significantly correlated with %ΔePV and Δln-BNP. Furthermore, ePV and BNP were significantly higher than baseline levels.

Abstract
Background: Currently, the association between sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT-2i) and malignancy risk has yet to be fully elucidated. This meta-analysis aimed to determine the relationship between SGLT-2i and malignancy risk in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. Methods: We searched PubMed, ScienceDirect, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Web of Science to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published up to August 2020 related to T2D patients treated with SGLT-2i vs. placebo or other hypoglycemic agents. The meta-analysis's primary outcome was malignancies' incidence, and the results were evaluated using risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: We reviewed 76 articles (77 RCTs), comprising 45,162 and 43,811 patients in SGLT-2i and control groups, respectively. Compared with the control group, SGLT-2i had no significant association with augmented overall malignancy risk in T2D patients (RR = 1.05, 95% CI = 0.97–1.14, P = 0.20), but ertugliflozin may upsurge the risk (RR = 1.80, 95% CI = 1.02–3.17, P = 0.04). Compared with active hypoglycemic agents, dapagliflozin may increase (RR = 2.71, 95% CI = 1.46–6.43, P = 0.02) and empagliflozin may decrease (RR = 0.67, 95% CI = 0.45–0.98, P = 0.04) the malignancy risk. Compared with placebo, empagliflozin may exhibit risk increase (RR = 1.25, 95% CI = 1.05–1.49, P = 0.01), primarily in digestive system (RR = 1.48, 95% CI = 0.99–2.21, P = 0.05). Conclusions: Our results proposed that in diverse comparisons, ertugliflozin and dapagliflozin seemed to increase the malignancy risk in T2D patients. Empagliflozin may cause malignancy risk reduction compared with active hypoglycemic agents but increase overall risk primarily in the digestive system compared with placebo. In short, the relationship between SGLT-2i and malignancy in T2D patients remains unclear.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE SGTL2 inhibitors increase urinary glucose excretion and have beneficial effects on cardiovascular and renal outcomes. The underlying mechanism may involve caloric restriction-like metabolic effects due to urinary glucose loss. We investigated the effects of dapagliflozin on 24-h energy metabolism and insulin sensitivity in patients with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS There were 26 patients with type 2 diabetes randomized to a 5-week double-blind, crossover study with a 6- to 8-week washout. Indirect calorimetry was used to measure 24-h energy metabolism and the respiratory exchange ratio (RER), both by whole-room calorimetry and by ventilated hood during a two-step euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp. Results are presented as the differences in least squares mean (95% CI) between treatments. RESULTS Evaluable patients (n = 24) had a mean (SD) age of 64.2 (4.6) years, BMI of 28.1 (2.4) kg/m2, and HbA1c of 6.9% (0.7) (51.7 [6.8] mmol/mol). Rate of glucose disappearance was unaffected by dapagliflozin, whereas fasting endogenous glucose production (EGP) increased by dapagliflozin (+2.27 [1.39, 3.14] μmol/kg/min, P < 0.0001). Insulin-induced suppression of EGP (-1.71 [-2.75, -0.63] μmol/kg/min, P = 0.0036) and plasma free fatty acids (-21.93% [-39.31, -4.54], P = 0.016) was greater with dapagliflozin. Twenty-four-hour energy expenditure (-0.11 [-0.24, 0.03] MJ/day) remained unaffected by dapagliflozin, but dapagliflozin reduced the RER during daytime and nighttime, resulting in an increased day-to-nighttime difference in the RER (-0.010 [-0.017, -0.002], P = 0.016). Dapagliflozin treatment resulted in a negative 24-h energy and fat balance (-20.51 [-27.90, -13.12] g/day). CONCLUSIONS Dapagliflozin treatment for 5 weeks resulted in major adjustments of metabolism mimicking caloric restriction, increased fat oxidation, improved hepatic and adipose insulin sensitivity, and improved 24-h energy metabolism.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotranspsorter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors (SGLT2i) involve loss of skeletal muscle mass, potentially leading to inadequate HbA1c reduction in type 2 diabetes (T2DM), since muscle mass is related to insulin sensitivity. The benefit of protein-enriched diet for improving HbA1c in SGLT2i-treated T2DM patients remains unclear. We conducted a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, controlled, investigator-initiated clinical trial. 130 T2DM patients treated with dapagliflozin (5 mg) were randomized to isoenergic protein-rich formula diet (P-FD) or fat-rich FD (F-FD) (1:1 allocation) to replace one of three meals/day for 24 weeks. Primary outcome was change in HbA1c. Secondary outcomes were changes in serum insulin, body composition and other metabolic parameters. Although HbA1c decreased significantly in both groups [mean (95% confidence interval) − 0.7% (− 0.9 to − 0.5) in P-FD, − 0.6% (− 0.8 to − 0.5) in F-FD], change in HbA1c was not significantly different between the two groups (P = 0.4474). Fasting insulin and body fat mass decreased, while HDL-cholesterol increased significantly in P-FD, and these changes were significantly greater compared with F-FD (all, P < 0.05). In T2DM treated with dapagliflozin, protein-enriched diet does not contribute to HbA1c reduction, although it decreases serum insulin and body fat mass, and increases HDL-cholesterol compared with fat-enriched diet with identical calories and carbohydrate ratio.

Abstract
Aims: To investigate the efficacy and safety of SGLT-2 inhibitors as an add-on treatment for metformin between Asian and non-Asian T2DM. Methods: A systematic literature search of PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library was performed through August 2020 with the following keywords: Sodium-Glucose Transporter 2 Inhibitors, Sodium Glucose Transporter 2 Inhibitors, SGLT2 inhibitor, SGLT-2 inhibitors, type 2 diabetes, and randomized controlled trials. Double-blinded RCTs comparing SGLT-2 inhibitors as an add-on treatment for metformin and metformin monotherapy in adults with type 2 diabetes were included. A random effects model was used to calculate overall effect sizes. Results: 5 RCTs with 1193 Asian patients and 7 RCTs with 2098 non-Asian patients were investigated. The improvement in HbA1c and fasting blood glucose in the Asian patients (WMD, −0.73%; 95% CI, −1.01% to −0.46%, p < 0.01; WMD, −1.51; 95% CI, −1.81 to −1.21, p < 0.01, respectively) were both significantly better than in the non-Asians (WMD, −0.45%; 95% CI, −0.62% to −0.29%, p < 0.01; WMD, −1.03; 95% CI, −1.27 to −0.78, p < 0.01, respectively). The effect of weight loss was similar in the non-Asian patients and Asian patients. There was little difference in the improvement of systolic blood pressure between them. The risk of serious adverse events was not significantly increased between the Asian and non-Asian patients. Conclusion: SGLT-2 inhibitors as an add-on treatment for metformin are more efficacious in East Asian T2DM patients than in non-Asian T2DM patients without an additional risk of severe adverse events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Diabetes and osteoporosis are common chronic disorders with growing prevalence in the aging population. Skeletal fragility secondary to diabetes increases the risk of fractures and is underestimated by currently available diagnostic tools like fracture risk assessment (FRAX) and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). In this narrative review we describe the relationship and pathophysiology of skeletal fragility and fractures in Type 2 diabetes (T2DM), effect of glucose lowering medications on bone metabolism and the approach to diagnosing and managing osteoporosis and bone fragility in people with diabetes (PWD). METHODS A literature search was conducted on PubMed for articles in English that focused on T2DM and osteoporosis or bone/skeletal fragility. Articles considered to be of direct clinical relevance to physicians practicing diabetes were included. RESULTS T2DM is associated with skeletal fragility secondary to compromised bone remodeling and bone turnover. Long duration, poor glycemic control, presence of chronic complications, impaired muscle function, and anti-diabetic medications like thiazolidinediones (TZD) are risk factors for fractures among PWD. Conventional diagnostic tools like DXA and FRAX tool underestimate fracture risk in diabetes. Presence of diabetes does not alter response to anti-osteoporotic treatment in post-menopausal women. CONCLUSION Estimation of fragility fracture risk should be included in standard of care for T2DM along with screening for traditional complications. Physicians should proactively screen for and manage osteoporosis in people with diabetes. It is important to consider effects on bone health when selecting glucose lowering agents in people at risk for fragility fractures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors can reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, recent clinical studies have revealed that SGLT2 inhibitors decrease the risk of renal function impairment in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on non-diabetic chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unclear. Regarding long-term clinical outcomes, the Dapagliflozin and Prevention of Adverse Outcomes in Heart Failure (DAPA-HF) trial explicitly showed improvements in cardiovascular outcomes in patients presenting with heart failure, even in the absence of diabetes. The reduction in heart failure in patients without diabetes was confirmed following empagliflozin administration in the EMPagliflozin outcomE tRial in patients with chrOnic heart failure with Reduced ejection fraction (EMPEROR-Reduced) trial. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis of DAPA-HF and EMPEROR-Reduced showed improvements in the composite renal endpoint regardless of the presence of diabetes or baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate. The Dapagliflozin and Prevention of Adverse outcomes in Chronic Kidney Disease (DAPA-CKD) trial evaluated patients with CKD with or without type 2 diabetes, irrespective of whether SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin was added for renin-angiotensin system blockade as background renoprotective therapy. In this trial, dapagliflozin reduced the hazard ratio for a composite renal and cardiovascular death endpoint in patients with CKD attributed to various causes, with or without type 2 diabetes.

Cardiovascular benefits of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in diabetic and nondiabetic patients. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2021; 20:78.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) were developed as antidiabetic agents, but accumulating evidence has shown their beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system. Analyses of the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial (Empagliflozin Cardiovascular Outcome Event Trial in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients) suggested that these benefits are independent of glycemic control. Several large-scale outcome trials of SGLT2i also showed cardiovascular benefits in nondiabetic patients, strengthening this perspective. Extensive animal and clinical studies have likewise shown that mechanisms other than the antihyperglycemic effect underlie the cardiovascular benefits. Recent clinical guidelines recommend the use of SGLT2i in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases because of the proven cardiovascular protective effects. Since the cardiovascular benefits are independent of glycemic control, the therapeutic spectrum of SGLT2i will likely be extended to nondiabetic patients.

Abstract
Background Type 2 diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder that is escalating at an alarming rate worldwide. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors are recent oral antihyperglycemic drugs (OADs) with a unique mechanism of action. Objectives This study aimed compared the efficacy and safety profiles of two SGLT-2 inhibitors, empagliflozin and dapagliflozin, in patients with type 2 diabetes as add-on therapy to traditional first-line OADs. Methods We conducted a randomized controlled trial comparing empagliflozin and dapagliflozin in patients with type 2 diabetes. Patients were included in the study if they had type 2 diabetes with inadequate glycemic control, defined as glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) of 7.5% to 11.0%, treated with conventional first-line OADs. Study participants were randomly assigned into two groups. Group A patients received oral empagliflozin, 10 to 25 mg, and Group B patients received oral dapagliflozin, 5 to 10 mg, for 12 weeks. The primary endpoint was the efficacy profile for each SGLT-2 agent in terms of body weight changes, body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose (FBG), and HbA1c. The secondary endpoint was to determine the safety and tolerability profiles of each SGLT-2 agent. Results After 12 weeks of treatment, the mean body weight was reduced significantly in both groups from baseline (empagliflozin: -3.2 kg ± 5.5 kg, p = 0.003; dapagliflozin -2.1 kg ± 4.6 kg, p = 0.008). However, the mean body weight reduction between groups was not statistically significant (p = 0.078). BMI was significantly reduced in both groups (empagliflozin from 28.5 ± 4.9 kg/m2 to 25.8 ± 5.2 kg/m2, p = 0.002; dapagliflozin from 29 ± 5.2 kg/m2 to 27.7 ± 4.8 kg/m2, p = 0.003). However, the patients who received empagliflozin experienced a significantly greater reduction in BMI than patients who received dapagliflozin (p = 0.007). The mean FBG was also reduced in both study groups (empagliflozin: -88.5 mg/dL ± 39.7 mg/dl, p = 0.003; dapagliflozin: -59.8 mg/dL ± 48.5 mg/dL; p = 0.007). However, the patients who received empagliflozin experienced a significantly greater reduction in mean FBG than patients who received dapagliflozin (p = 0.001). HbA1c was also significantly reduced in both groups (empagliflozin: -2.1% ± 1.1%, p = 0.002; dapagliflozin: -1.4% ± 0.9%; p = 0.004). However, patients who received empagliflozin experienced a significantly greater reduction in HbA1c than patients who received dapagliflozin (p = 0.001). The tolerability profiles of both SGLT-2 agents were quite good, and no major adverse effects were reported in the study groups. Urinary infection occurred more often in patients who received dapagliflozin (9.3%) than in patients who received empagliflozin (4.5%; p = 0.002). Patients in the dapagliflozin group also had a higher incidence of genital infections (7.3%) than those in the empagliflozin group (3.8%; p = 0.001). Conclusion Both empagliflozin and dapagliflozin demonstrated excellent efficacy and safety profiles in our study. These agents should be considered as add-on therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes taking conventional first-line OADs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Clinical trials suggest that SGLT2 inhibitors reduce the risk of cardiovascular mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes, however the mechanism is unclear. Our objective was to test the hypothesis that blood pressure reduction is one potential mechanism underlying the observed improvements in cardiovascular outcomes with SGLT2 inhibitors. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (inception-June 2019) for randomized controlled trials that reported the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors compared with placebo on cardiovascular outcomes in adults with type 2 diabetes. Two reviewers independently extracted data and assessed study quality. Random effects meta-analyses, stratified meta-analyses and meta-regressions were conducted to evaluate the association between blood pressure reduction in SGLT2 inhibitor treated patients and cardiovascular outcomes. RESULTS Of 11,232 articles identified, 40 articles (n = 54,279 participants) were included. The relative risk of cardiovascular mortality was reduced by 18% with the use of SGLT2 inhibitors compared with placebo (RR 0.82; 95%CI 0.74, 0.91, I2 = 0.0%). Meta-regression analysis revealed no detectable difference in cardiovascular mortality (RR 0.93; 95%CI 0.88, 1.13, p = 0.483), 3-point major adverse cardiovascular events (p = 0.839) or congestive heart failure hospitalizations (p = 0.844) with change in mean systolic blood pressure. CONCLUSIONS Cardiovascular events are reduced in participants with type 2 diabetes treated with SGLT2 inhibitors compared with placebo. There was no significant relationship between the risk of developing adverse cardiovascular events and blood pressure reduction with SGLT2 inhibitors. There is insufficient evidence to suggest that blood pressure reduction is a significant contributor to the cardiovascular benefits observed.

Abstract
This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of intensive exercise in addition to the administration of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor dapagliflozin (DAPA) on body composition, including fat-free mass, in type 2 diabetes. We randomly assigned 146 patients to 24 weeks of treatment with intensive exercise, including resistance training, plus 5 mg (up to 10 mg) of DAPA daily (IT group) or DAPA alone (CT group). The primary endpoint was the difference in the change in fat-free mass from baseline to 24 weeks between the groups. The skeletal muscle mass index (SMI); metabolic profile, including HbA1c; and regional fat mass were also determined. ANCOVA was used for the group comparison, with least squares mean (LSM) differences and 95% confidence interval (CI). There was no significant difference in the change in fat-free mass (LSM difference -0.1 kg (95% CI: -0.5 to 0.4) and SMI (LSM difference -0.1 kg (95% CI: -0.2 to 0.1) between the groups. In contrast, the reduction of trunk fat mass was significantly higher in the IT group than in the CT group ((LSM difference -0.5 kg [95% CI -0.9 to -0.1]). Higher adherence to the resistance training tended to be associated with changes in HbA1c and high-sensitivity CRP levels. Our study suggests that intensive exercise do not prevent the reduction of fat-free mass after administration of SGLT2 inhibitors but can increase the reduction in abdominal fat, presumably leading to further improvements of hyperglycemia and chronic inflammation than DAPA alone in type 2 diabetes patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The goals of improving quality of life and increasing longevity are receiving growing amounts of attention. Body weight and lipid metabolism are closely related to various complications of diabetes. The aim of this study was to rank SGLT inhibitors according to their efficacy with regard to weight and evaluate the effect of SGLT inhibitors on lipid metabolism at 24 weeks of treatment. METHODS The Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Clinical Trials databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials involving patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus through June 2020. Two researchers independently screened and evaluated the selected studies and extracted the outcome indexes. ADDIS 1.16.5 and STATA 16 software were used to perform the network meta-analysis and draw the plots. RESULTS Ultimately, 36 studies were selected and included in this study. We found that all SGLT inhibitors were effective at reducing weight; canagliflozin was the most effective. SGLT inhibitors and placebo were not associated with significantly different serum cholesterol levels. SGLT inhibitors lowered serum triglyceride levels and increased serum high-density and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. SGLT inhibitors also reduced the level of alanine aminotransferase. CONCLUSIONS SGLT inhibitors can bring about weight loss in patients with T2DM and can also improve lipid metabolism. Therefore, patients with hyperlipidemia who have been unsuccessful at losing weight should consider taking SGLT inhibitors. In addition, SGLT inhibitors are hepatoprotective and appear to be safe for patients with mild to moderate liver dysfunction. TRIAL REGISTRATION CRD42020198516.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate dapagliflozin, canagliflozin, empagliflozin, ertugliflozin, and sotagliflozin according to their effect on the glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS The Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Clinical Trials databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus through June 2020. Two researchers independently screened and evaluated the obtained studies and extracted the outcome indexes. RevMan 5.3 software was used to perform the meta-analysis and to create plots. RESULTS Finally, 27 studies were selected and included in this study. The meta-analysis results showed that sodium-dependent glucose transporter (SGLT) inhibitors significantly reduced the HbA1c level in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, these results were highly heterogeneous, so we conducted a subgroup analysis. The results of the subgroup analysis suggested that by dividing populations into different subgroups, the heterogeneity of each group could be reduced. CONCLUSIONS SGLT inhibitors had a good effect on the HbA1c level in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, but there might be differences in the efficacy of SGLT inhibitors in different populations. It is hoped that more studies will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SGLT inhibitors in different populations. REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42020185025.

Early combination versus initial metformin monotherapy in the management of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes: An East Asian perspective. Diabetes Obes Metab 2021; 23:3-17.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the East Asian population is characterized by phenotypes such as low body mass index, an index of β-cell dysfunction, and higher percentage of body fat, an index of insulin resistance. These phenotypes/pathologies may predispose people to early onset of diabetes with increased risk of stroke and renal disease. Less than 50% of patients with T2D in East Asia achieve glycaemic targets recommended by national or regional guidelines, which may be attributable to knowledge and/or implementation gaps. Herein, we review the latest evidence with special reference to East Asian patients with T2D and present arguments for the need to use early combination therapy to intensify glycaemic control. This strategy is supported by the 5-year worldwide VERIFY study, which reported better glycaemic durability in newly diagnosed patients with T2D with a mean HbA1c of 6.9% treated with early combination therapy of vildagliptin plus metformin versus those treated with initial metformin monotherapy followed by addition of vildagliptin only with worsening glycaemic control. This paradigm shift of early intensified treatment is now recommended by the American Diabetes Association and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes. In order to translate these evidence to practice, increased awareness and strengthening of the healthcare system are needed to diagnose and manage patients with T2D early for combination therapy.

D'Marco L, Morillo V, Gorriz JL, Suarez MK, Nava M, Ortega Á, Parra H, Villasmil N, Rojas-Quintero J, Bermúdez V. SGLT2i and GLP-1RA in Cardiometabolic and Renal Diseases: From Glycemic Control to Adipose Tissue Inflammation and Senescence. J Diabetes Res 2021; 2021:9032378. [PMID: 34790827 PMCID: PMC8592766 DOI: 10.1155/2021/9032378] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2021] [Revised: 09/01/2021] [Accepted: 10/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background. Over the last few years, the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) has increased substantially in medical practice due to their documented benefits in cardiorenal and metabolic health. In this sense, and in addition to being used for glycemic control in diabetic patients, these drugs also have other favorable effects such as weight loss and lowering blood pressure, and more recently, they have been shown to have cardio and renoprotective effects with anti-inflammatory properties. Concerning the latter, the individual or associated use of these antihyperglycemic agents has been linked with a decrease in proinflammatory cytokines and with an improvement in the inflammatory profile in chronic endocrine-metabolic diseases. Hence, these drugs have been positioned as first-line therapy in the management of diabetes and its multiple comorbidities, such as obesity, which has been associated with persistent inflammatory states that induce dysfunction of the adipose tissue. Moreover, other frequent comorbidities in long-standing diabetic patients are chronic complications such as diabetic kidney disease, whose progression can be slowed by SGLT2i and/or GLP-1RA. The neuroendocrine and immunometabolism mechanisms underlying adipose tissue inflammation in individuals with diabetes and cardiometabolic and renal diseases are complex and not fully understood. Summary. This review intends to expose the probable molecular mechanisms and compile evidence of the synergistic or additive anti-inflammatory effects of SGLT2i and GLP-1RA and their potential impact on the management of patients with obesity and cardiorenal compromise.

An Overview of Similarities and Differences in Metabolic Actions and Effects of Central Nervous System Between Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists (GLP-1RAs) and Sodium Glucose Co-Transporter-2 Inhibitors (SGLT-2is). Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes 2021; 14:2955-2972.

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.

Durability of glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis for its association with body weight changes. Diabetes Obes Metab 2021; 23:208-217. [PMID: 33016522 DOI: 10.1111/dom.14217] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2020] [Revised: 08/26/2020] [Accepted: 09/20/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
AIMS To analyse quantitatively the association between the durability of glycaemic control and body weight changes during treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study adhered to an appropriate methodology according to Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) guidelines. Studies with follow-ups >12 months, and final and intermediate assessments of haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and body weight were included. Four outcomes assessing therapeutic durability were extracted and synthesized using Stata statistical software, including changes in HbA1c, goal-achievement rate, failure rate and coefficient of failure (CoF). RESULTS After 8.9 months of treatment, HbA1c levels declined from 8.03% [95% confidence interval (CI), 7.91-8.15; I2 = 99.2%] to 7.15% (95% CI, 7.02-7.27; I2 = 99.4%) and then gradually increased up to 7.72% (95% CI, 7.50-7.94; I2 = 99.0%) 5 years later. The goal-achievement rate decreased from 54.8% (after 1 year of treatment) to 19.4% 5 years later. The CoF was 0.123 ± 0.022%/year (P < .001). After stratification, the CoFs were 0.224 ± 0.025%/year (P < .001) for weight gain, 0.137 ± 0.034%/year (P < .001) for neutral weight and -0.024 ± 0.032%/year (P = .450) for weight loss. After stratification by treatment approaches, the CoFs were 0.45%/year for insulin, 0.43%/year for sulphonylurea, 0.34%/year for thiazolidinediones, 0.29%/year for metformin, 0.16% for glucagon-like polypeptide-1 receptor agonists, 0.12% for surgery, -0.03% for sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors and -0.21% for dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitors. CONCLUSION Modest weight loss with a goal of 2-3% of body weight should be recommended to improve therapeutic durability and prevent beta-cell deterioration.

Abstract
Several endocrine systems have important effects on bone tissue. Thyroid hormones are essential for normal growth and development. Excess of these hormones will result in clinically significant changes that may require intervention. Glucocorticoids also have a marked effect on bone metabolism by several pathways. Their endogenous or exogenous excess will induce pathological processes that might elevate the risk of fractures. Insulin and the carbohydrate metabolism elicit a physiological effect on bone; however, the lack of insulin (type 1 diabetes) or insulin resistance (type 2 diabetes) have deleterious influence on bone tissue.

Abstract
Drug-induced myopathy is a well-described clinical entity characterized by muscle damage leading to symptoms ranging from myalgias to rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury. Many pharmacotherapies are known to precipitate myopathic symptoms. Recent case reports suggest a potential relationship between the use of sodium/glucose cotransport 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and onset of myopathy. The pathogenesis of this has yet to be elucidated. The relevance of this association is augmented by the recent popularity of SGLT2 inhibitors as well as the tendency for them to be prescribed alongside statins. This study reviewed the literature on the incidence and mechanism of drug-induced myopathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are taking SGLT2 inhibitors with and without the use of statins.

Abstract
UNLABELLED This study analyzed the effects of combination therapy with sodium-glucose transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) and metformin on fracture risk. Summarizing available randomized controlled trials, we found that SGLT2is combined with metformin therapy did not influence fracture risk compared with metformin monotherapy or other comparators in patients with T2DM. INTRODUCTION No study is available evaluating the association between sodium-glucose transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) in combination with metformin use and fracture risk. Our study aimed to investigate the fracture risk of combination therapy with SGLT2is and metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS PubMed, Embase, ClinicalTrials.gov site, and the Cochrane Library databases were scrutinized for all eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The summarized odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using Review Manager 5.3 software. RESULTS A total of 25 RCTs involving 19,500 participants with T2DM were included in our studies. There were 88 fracture cases in the SGLT2is in combination with metformin therapy group and 79 in the control group. SGLT2is combined with metformin use did not influence fracture risk compared with metformin monotherapy or other comparators in patients with T2DM (OR = 0.97, 95% CI 0.71-1.32). After stratification by drug type, follow-up time, control regimen, and type of fracture, the upshots were still stable. CONCLUSION SGLT2is and metformin combination therapy did not influence fracture risk compared with metformin monotherapy or other comparators in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Preclinical, clinical, and population-based studies have provided evidence that anti-diabetic drugs affect bone metabolism and may affect the risk of fracture in diabetic patients. AREAS COVERED An overview of the skeletal effects of anti-diabetic drugs used in type 2 diabetes is provided. Searches on AdisInsight, PubMed, and Medline databases were conducted up to 1st July 2020. The latest evidence from randomized clinical trials and population-based studies on the skeletal safety of the most recent drugs (DPP-4i, GLP-1RA, and SGLT-2i) is provided. EXPERT OPINION Diabetic patients present with a higher risk of fracture for a given bone mineral density suggesting a role of bone quality in the etiology of diabetic fracture. Bone quality is difficult to assess in human clinical practice and the use of preclinical models provides valuable information on diabetic bone alterations. As several links have been established between bone and energy homeostasis, it is interesting to study the safety of anti-diabetic drugs on the skeleton. So far, evidence for the newest molecules suggests a neutral fracture risk, but further studies, especially in different types of patient populations (patients at risk or with history of cardiovascular disease, renal impairment, neuropathy) are required to fully appreciate this matter.

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.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an increasingly prevalent condition that has a significant impact on health systems worldwide, particularly in older people. It is estimated that 30% of people aged > 65 years fulfil the diagnostic criteria for DM, with 90% having type 2 DM (T2DM). Generally, specific guidelines for the treatment of T2DM in older people address in a very limited manner the use of more recent therapies, such as sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), which have important benefits for older people, such as a low risk of hypoglycemia, reduction of cardiovascular and renal risk, and an insulin-independent mechanism, allowing its use in disease of any duration. The SGLT2i class is well-tolerated, though some caution is also suggested, including adjustment of concomitant therapies, such as insulin and antihypertensives, especially loop diuretics. This review discusses the pathophysiological characteristics of the older patient with T2DM and evaluates the main benefits of and cautions for the use of SGLT2i in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dapagliflozin, a novel inhibitor of renal sodium-glucose cotransporter 2, allows an insulin-independent approach to improve type 2 diabetes hyperglycemia. This current research is a double blinded, randomized, and prospective trial to determine the effect of dapagliflozin on cardiovascular outcomes in type 2 diabetes. METHODS This randomized controlled, double-blinded, single center trial is carried out according to the principles of Declaration of Helsinki. This present study was approved in institutional review committee of the Lianyungang Hospital affiliated to Xuzhou Medical University (LW-20200901001). All the patients received the informed consent. Diabetic patients were randomized equally to receive 28-week treatment with dapagliflozin or matching placebo. The major outcome of our current study was the change in the level of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) from the baseline to week 28. Secondary outcome measures contained the levels of fasting blood glucose, the mean change in seated systolic and diastolic blood pressure, body weight, and the mean change in calculated average daily insulin dose in patients treated with insulin at baseline, the other laboratory variables, and self-reported adverse events. The P < .05 was regarded as statistically significant. RESULTS We assumed that the dapagliflozin administration in patients with type 2 diabetes would reduce HbA1c, body weight, systolic blood pressure, and achieve the goal of glycemic control, without adversely impacting cardiovascular risk. TRIAL REGISTRATION This study protocol was registered in Research Registry (researchregistry5987).
