The Uricosuric Effect of SGLT2 Inhibitors Is Maintained in the Long Term in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. J Clin Med 2024; 13:1360. [PMID: 38592682 PMCID: PMC10931679 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13051360] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Revised: 02/16/2024] [Accepted: 02/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) increase uric acid excretion. The intensity of uricosuria is linked to glycosuria. (2) Methods: We aim to analyze the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on urinary fractional excretion (FE) of uric acid and glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in a single-center retrospective study with patients with T2DM and CKD who started on treatment with SGLT2is. Patients on renal replacement therapy or with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP1) analogs were excluded. Subgroup analysis was performed according to the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), the SGLT2i molecule, the main comorbidities, and concomitant treatment. As a secondary objective, the study analyzed the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on uricemia levels. (3) Results: Seventy-three patients were analyzed, with a mean follow-up of 1.2 years. Uric acid and glucose FE significantly increased after the initiation of SGLT2is. This increase remained stable during the follow-up without differences among eGFR groups. No significant reduction in uricemia was observed. However, a trend towards a decrease was observed. (4) Conclusion: The use of SGLT2is in patients with CKD and T2DM is associated with an increase in uric acid FE, which maintains stability irrespective of glomerular filtration loss at least during 24 months of follow-up.

Lin CR, Tsai PA, Wang C, Chen JY. The Association between Uric Acid and Metabolic Syndrome in a Middle-Aged and Elderly Taiwanese Population: A Community-Based Cross-Sectional Study. Healthcare (Basel) 2024; 12:113. [PMID: 38201018 PMCID: PMC10778807 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare12010113] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a prevalent health condition in Taiwan that places individuals at higher risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and stroke. Therefore, the identification of risk factors associated with MetS is crucial. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of uric acid and MetS in a Taiwanese community with a middle-aged and elderly population. METHODS This cross-sectional study enrolled residents aged 50-90 years living in one community. All of the subjects received a standardized personal interview, including a structured questionnaire, anthropometric measurements, and blood samples were collected for laboratory testing. MetS was defined as excess waist circumference, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high serum triglycerides, and low serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Multiple logistic regression models were used to evaluate uric acid tertiles associated with MetS. RESULTS A total of 400 subjects were enrolled in the analysis. The overall prevalence of MetS was 35.8%. The prevalence of MetS increased gradually with increasing serum uric acid levels (p value < 0.001). A significant association between uric acid and cardiometabolic risk factors was confirmed, with a Pearson's correlation coefficient for waist circumference of 0.30 (p < 0.001), a coefficient for systolic blood pressure of 0.13 (p = 0.01), a coefficient for triglycerides of 0.33 (p < 0.001), and a coefficient for high-density lipoprotein of -0.30 (p < 0.001). The adjusted odds ratio (OR) of the high uric acid tertile level for MetS was 2.48 (95% CI = 1.31-4.71, p = 0.01). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for uric acid in predicting MetS was 0.621 (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of MetS in our study population is high. High serum uric acid levels are independently associated with the presence of MetS among the middle-aged and elderly Taiwanese population.

Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors to Decrease the Uric Acid Concentration-A Novel Mechanism of Action. J Cardiovasc Dev Dis 2023; 10:268. [PMID: 37504524 PMCID: PMC10380892 DOI: 10.3390/jcdd10070268] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Revised: 06/15/2023] [Accepted: 06/20/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are glucose-lowering agents whose positive impact on cardiovascular risk has been described extensively. Not only do they influence lipid profile, blood pressure, atherosclerosis risk, hemoglobin level, and insulin resistance, but they also reduce cardiovascular events, all-cause mortality, and hospitalization rates. Some of these effects may be due to their impact on serum uric acid (SUA) concentration. Findings from nine meta-analyses showed that, indeed, SGLT2is significantly reduce SUA. The data on the drug- and dose-dependency of this effect were inconclusive. Several factors alternating the beneficial effects of SGLT2is on SUA, such as glycated hemoglobin concentration (HbA1c), presence of diabetes, and baseline SUA level, were described. Even though there is a consensus that the lowering of SUA by SGLT2is might be due to the increased urinary excretion rate of uric acid (UEUA) rather than its altered metabolism, the exact mechanism remains unknown. The influence of SGLT2is on SUA may not only be used in gout treatment but may also be of huge importance in explaining the observed pleiotropic effects of SGLT2is.

Abstract
AIMS Several trials have assessed the antihyperglycemic effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2Is) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We conducted a quantitative analysis to assess the effects of SGLT2Is on renal risk factors in patients with abnormal glucose metabolism. MATERIALS AND METHODS Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were identified by searching the PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases published before September 30, 2022. The intervention group received SGLT2Is as monotherapy or add-on treatment, and the control group received placebos, standard care, or active control. Risk of bias assessment was performed using the Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool. Meta-analysis was performed on studies with abnormal glucose metabolism populations and studies using the weighted mean differences (WMDs) as the measure of the effect size. Clinical trials providing changes in serum uric acid (SUA) were included. The mean change of SUA, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), body mass index (BMI), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were calculated. RESULTS After a literature search and detailed evaluation, a total of 11 RCTs were included for quantitative analysis to analyze the differences between the SGLT2I group and the control group. The results showed that SGLT2I significantly reduced SUA (MD = -0.56, 95% CI = -0.66 ~ -0.46, I2 = 0%, P < 0.00001), HbA1c (MD = -0.20, 95% CI = -0.26 ~ -0.13, I2 = 0%, P < 0.00001), and BMI (MD = -1.19, 95% CI = -1.84 ~ -0.55, I2 = 0%, P = 0.0003). There was no significant difference in the reduction of eGFR observed in the SGLT2I group (MD = -1.60, 95% CI = -3.82 ~ 0.63, I2 = 13%, P = 0.16). CONCLUSIONS These results showed that the SGLT2I group caused greater reductions in SUA, HbA1c, and BMI but had no effect on eGFR. These data suggested that SGLT2Is may have numerous potentially beneficial clinical effects in patients with abnormal glucose metabolism. However, these results need to be consolidated by further studies.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) have been shown to improve cardiovascular and renal outcomes in patients with established cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and heart failure (HF) with reduced or preserved ejection fraction. Clinical benefit has been substantiated in patients with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D). Consequently, SGLT2is have an increasingly important role in HF and CKD management that extends beyond T2D treatment. Their pleiotropic pharmacological effects underlying their cardiovascular and renal benefits are not completely understood but include significant effects beyond blood glucose reduction. SGLT2is inhibit the reabsorption of glucose and sodium in the proximal tubule which, in addition to lowering blood glucose, activates tubuloglomerular feedback, leading to reduced glomerular hydrostatic pressure and the mitigation of glomerular filtration rate loss. SGLT2is have diuretic and natriuretic effects, leading to decreased blood pressure, preload, and left ventricular (LV) filling pressure, and improvements in other surrogates of afterload. In HF, SGLT2is mitigate the risks of hyperkalemia and ventricular arrhythmia and improve LV dysfunction. SGLT2is also reduce sympathetic tone and uric acid levels, increase hemoglobin levels, and are postulated to have anti-inflammatory properties. This narrative review discusses the multifactorial and interrelated pharmacological mechanisms underlying the cardiovascular and renal benefits of SGLT2is.

Abstract
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a highly prevalent syndrome with multifaceted pathophysiology. All approaches to neurohormonal modulation were shown not to improve survival in HFpEF, despite their well-established efficacy in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). This might be attributed to suboptimal study design, inadequate diagnostic criteria, or statistical power, but is also likely to reflect a lack of consideration for its clinical heterogeneity. The attention then shifted to the phenotypic heterogeneity of HFpEF, with the ultimate goal of developing therapies tailored to individual patient phenotypes. Recently, the sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) empagliflozin has been found to reduce the combined risk of cardiovascular death or hospitalization for HF in patients with HFpEF, a result driven by a reduction in HF hospitalizations. This paper recapitulates the journey from the failure of trials on neurohormonal antagonists to the attempts of personalized approaches and the new perspectives of SGLT2i therapy for HFpEF.

Efficacy and Safety of Empagliflozin in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Saudi Patients as Add-On to Antidiabetic Therapy: A Prospective, Open-Label, Observational Study. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11164769. [PMID: 36013008 PMCID: PMC9410062 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11164769] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2022] [Revised: 08/10/2022] [Accepted: 08/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) approved sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in 2018. The efficacy and safety of empagliflozin (EMPA) have been confirmed in the U.S., Europe, and Japan for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM); however, analogous evidence is lacking for Saudi T2DM patients. Therefore, the current study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of EMPA in Saudi patients (n = 256) with T2DM. This is a 12-week prospective, open-label, observational study. Adult Saudi patients with T2DM who had not been treated with EMPA before enrolment were eligible. The exclusion criteria included T2DM patients less than 18 years of age, adults with type one diabetes, pregnant women, paediatric population. The results related to efficacy included a significant decrease in haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (adjusted mean difference −0.93% [95% confidence interval (CI) −0.32, −1.54]), significant improvements in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) (−2.28 mmol/L [95% CI −2.81, −1.75]), and a reduction in body weight (−0.874 kg [95% CI −4.36, −6.10]) following the administration of 25 mg of EMPA once daily as an add-on to ongoing antidiabetic therapy after 12 weeks. The primary safety endpoints were the change in the mean blood pressure (BP) values, which indicated significantly reduced systolic and diastolic BP (−3.85 mmHg [95% CI −6.81, −0.88] and −0.06 mmHg [95% CI −0.81, −0.88], respectively) and pulse rate (−1.18 [95% CI −0.79, −3.15]). In addition, kidney function was improved, with a significant reduction in the urine albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR) (−1.76 mg/g [95% CI −1.07, −34.25]) and a significant increase in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (3.54 mL/min/1.73 m2 [95% CI 2.78, 9.87]). Furthermore, EMPA reduced aminotransferases (ALT) in a pattern (reduction in ALT > AST). The adjusted mean difference in the change in ALT was −2.36 U/L [95% CI −1.031, −3.69], while it was −1.26 U/L [95% CI −0.3811, −2.357] for AST and −1.98 U/L [95% CI −0.44, −3.49] for GGT. Moreover, in the EMPA group, serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL) significantly increased (0.29 mmol/L [95% CI 0.74, 0.15]), whereas a nonsignificant increase was seen in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (0.01 mmol/L [95% CI 0.19, 0.18]) along with a significant reduction in plasma triglyceride (TG) levels (−0.43 mmol/L [95% CI −0.31, −1.17]). Empagliflozin once daily is an efficacious and tolerable strategy for treating Saudi patients with insufficiently controlled T2DM as an add-on to ongoing antidiabetic therapy.

Abstract
Hypouricemia is recognized as a rare disorder, defined as a serum uric acid level of 2.0 mg/dL or less. Hypouricemia is divided into an overexcretion type and an underproduction type. The former typical disease is xanthinuria, and the latter is renal hypouricemia (RHUC). The frequency of nephrogenic hypouricemia due to a deficiency of URAT1 is high in Japan, accounting for most asymptomatic and persistent cases of hypouricemia. RHUC results in a high risk of exercise-induced acute kidney injury and urolithiasis. It is vital to promote research on RHUC, as this will lead not only to the elucidation of its pathophysiology but also to the development of new treatments for gout and hyperuricemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several trials have assessed the antihyperglycemic effects of sodium/glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We conducted a quantitative analysis to assess the impact of SGLT2is on serum uric acid (SUA) in patients with T2DM. METHODS Placebo-controlled trials published before 13 August 2021 were identified by searching PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus. The intervention group received SGLT2i as monotherapy or add-on treatment, and the control group received a placebo that was replaced with SGLT2i. Clinical trials providing changes in SUA were included. The mean change of SUA, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and body weight were calculated (PROSPERO CRD42021287019). RESULTS After screening of 1172 papers, 59 papers were included in the systematic review. A total of 55 trials (122 groups) of 7 types of SGLT2i on patients with T2DM were eligible for meta-analysis. All SGLT2is significantly decreased SUA levels compared with the placebo groups: empagliflozin mean difference (MD) = -40.98 μmol/L, 95% CI [-47.63, -34.32], dapagliflozin MD = -35.17 μmol/L, 95% CI [-39.68, -30.66], canagliflozin MD = -36.27 μmol/L, 95% CI [-41.62, -30.93], luseogliflozin MD = -24.269 μmol/L, 95% CI [-33.31, -15.22], tofogliflozin MD = -19.47 μmol/L, 95% CI [-27.40, -11.55], and ipragliflozin MD = -18.85 μmol/L, 95% CI [-27.20, -10.49]. SGLT2i also decreased FPG, body weight, and HbA1c levels. SUA reduction persisted during long-term treatment with SGLT2i (except for empagliflozin), while the SUA reduction was affected by the duration of diabetes. CONCLUSIONS SGLT2i can be a valid therapeutic strategy for patients with T2DM and comorbid hyperuricemia. Besides reducing FPG, body weight, and HbA1c, SGLT2i can significantly decrease SUA levels compared to placebo (Total MD = -34.07 μmol/L, 95% CI [-37.00, -31.14]).

[PMID: 36545489 PMCID: PMC9763018 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4947684] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2022] [Revised: 11/17/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the association of the A/G rs1014290 polymorphism in SLC2A9 with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and prediabetes mellitus (pre-DM). Patients and Methods. We enrolled 1058 patients who attended the Hebei General Hospital, Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, China. The patients underwent general testing and oral glucose tolerance tests and were divided into three groups: 352 patients newly diagnosed with T2DM, 358 patients with pre-DM, and 348 healthy controls. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was detected by ligase detection reactions. The χ 2 test, one-way ANOVA, and binary logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the results. RESULTS In the T2DM group, the GG genotype frequency at the rs1014290 locus was significantly lower (14.8%) than it was in the healthy controls. Furthermore, the GG genotype group was associated with a reduced risk of T2DM in unadjusted and confounder-adjusted models compared with the risk in the AA genotype group. The G allele in the SLC2A9 rs1014290 locus decreased susceptibility to T2DM. In the pre-DM group, the GG and AG genotype groups had no significant correlation with the risk of pre-DM in any of the models. In the T2DM group, the uric acid level was significantly lower in the GG genotype group. In the T2DM and pre-DM groups, the HOMA-β levels were significantly higher in the GA (P < 0.001) and GG (P < 0.001) genotype groups than it was in the AA genotype group, and HOMA-IR was significantly lower in the GA (P < 0.001) and GG (P < 0.001) genotype groups than it was in the AA genotype group. CONCLUSION The A/G (rs1014290) SNP in SLC2A9 is closely related to the occurrence and development of diabetes.

Factors Influencing Change in Serum Uric Acid After Administration of the Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitor Luseogliflozin in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. J Clin Pharmacol 2021; 62:366-375. [PMID: 34545949 PMCID: PMC9299189 DOI: 10.1002/jcph.1970] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2021] [Accepted: 09/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Although sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors lower serum uric acid, their long‐term effect on uric acid metabolism is not well understood. We analyzed pooled data from studies wherein patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus received luseogliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor. Upon stratifying patients by baseline glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) or serum uric acid, lower HbA1c or higher serum uric acid level was associated with a greater reduction in serum uric acid after treatment. At week 12 of treatment, significant increases in urinary glucose/creatinine (Cr) ratio and urinary uric acid clearance/Cr clearance ratio (CUA/CCr ratio) and a significant reduction in serum uric acid were observed. Comparison of the subgroups of patients with a reduction or an increase in serum uric acid showed that the increase subgroup had a higher estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at baseline, and the eGFR was significantly reduced, associated with a significant reduction in the CUA/CCr ratio. Multiple regression analysis showed that the reduction in serum uric acid in the luseogliflozin group was strongly associated with baseline high serum uric acid, low HbA1c levels, and an increase in eGFR. Luseogliflozin was shown to reduce serum uric acid by enhancing urinary uric acid excretion in association with increased urinary glucose. Treatment with luseogliflozin resulted in increased serum uric acid in some patients, which may be due to reduced glomerular filtration of uric acid via the tubuloglomerular feedback. SGLT2 inhibitors reduced serum uric acid desirably in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with low HbA1c and high serum uric acid.

Potential Therapeutic Benefits of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors in the Context of Ischemic Heart Failure: A State-Of-The-Art Review. Cardiovasc Hematol Agents Med Chem 2021; 20:90-102. [PMID: 34370645 DOI: 10.2174/1871525719666210809121016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2021] [Revised: 06/25/2021] [Accepted: 07/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a class of anti-diabetic agents that block the reabsorption of glucose in the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron, thereby contributing to glycosuria and lowering blood glucose levels. SGLT2 inhibitors have been associated with improved cardiovascular outcomes in patients with diabetes, including a reduced risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalizations for heart failure. Recently, DAPA-HF and EMPEROR REDUCED trials showed the beneficial cardiovascular effect of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with heart failure with consistently reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) regardless of the presence of diabetes. Moreover, some exploratory studies suggested that these drugs improve Left Ventricular (LV) systolic function and oppose LV adverse remodeling in patients with HFrEF. However, the exact mechanisms that mediated for this benefit are not fully understood. Beyond glycemic control, enhanced natriuresis, increased erythropoiesis, improved endothelial function, changes in myocardial metabolism, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties may all play an active role in SGLT2 inhibitors' cardiovascular benefits. A deep understanding of the pathophysiological interplay is key to define which HF phenotype could benefit more from SGLT2 inhibitors. Current clinical evidence on the comparison of different HF etiologies is limited to posthoc subgroup analysis of DAPA-HF and EMPEROR-REDUCED, which showed similar outcomes in patients with or without ischemic HF. On the other hand, in earlier studies of patients suffering from diabetes, rates of classic ischemic endpoints, such as myocardial infarction, stroke or coronary revascularization, did not differ between patients treated with SGLT2 inhibitors or placebo. The aim of this review is to discuss whether SGLT2 inhibitors may improve prognosis in patients with ischemic HF, not only in terms of reducing re-hospitalizations and improving left ventricular function but also by limiting coronary artery disease progression and ischemic burden.

Abstract
Hyperuricemia, has been traditionally related to nephrolithiasis and gout. However, it has also been associated with the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiometabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Pathophysiologically, elevated serum uric acid (SUA) levels may be associated with abnormal lipid and glucose metabolism. In this narrative review, we consider the associations between hyperuricemia, hyperglycemia, atherosclerosis and thrombosis. Furthermore, we comment on the available evidence linking elevated SUA levels with the incidence and outcomes of coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral artery disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver in subjects with T2DM. The effects of antidiabetic drugs (e.g. metformin, pioglitazone, sulfonylureas, dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors and insulin) on SUA concentrations are also reviewed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperuricemia has a strong association with diabetes mellitus. Hyperuricemia can lead to cardiovascular and renal complications in patients with diabetes. The goal of this study was to compare the effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors dapagliflozin and empagliflozin on serum uric acid (SUA) levels in patients with type 2 diabetes against traditional oral antihyperglycemic drugs (OADs). METHODS In this double-blind randomized controlled trial, 70 patients with type 2 diabetes and elevated SUA levels were assigned to two treatment groups. Patients in group A received SGLT-2 inhibitors tablet dapagliflozin 5 mg to 10 mg and empagliflozin 10 mg to 25 mg. Group B patients received OADs such as glimepiride, metformin, sitagliptin, gliclazide, and glibenclamide as monotherapy or combination therapy. The changes in SUA level were primary end points while changes in body weight and body mass index (BMI) from baseline to end point were secondary end points. RESULTS After four weeks of treatment, we noted a significant reduction of mean SUA levels in the SGLT-2 inhibitor group from 7.5 ± 2.5 to 6.3 ± 0.8 mg/dl versus comparator group from 7.1 ± 1.8 to 6.8 ± 2.2 mg/dl (p = 0.001). Mean body weight was significantly reduced in the SGLT-2 group from 82 ± 10.4 to 78 ± 12.5 kg versus comparator group from 78 ± 13.2 to 79.2 ± 9.7 kg (p = 0.001). Similarly, the mean BMI of patients in the SGLT-2 group was significantly reduced from 25.7 ± 3.2 to 24.2 ± 3.2 kg/m2 versus comparator group from 27.5 ± 4.2 to 28 ± 3.6 kg/m2 (p = 0.002). CONCLUSION SGLT-2 inhibitors have a strong potential to decrease SUA levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Large cardiovascular outcome trials have reported favorable effects of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on heart failure. To study the potential mechanism of the SGLT2 inhibition in heart failure, we used the murine doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy model and identified the toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), NAD-dependent deacetylase sirtuin-3 (SIRT3), and Beclin 1, acting in a complex together in response to empagliflozin treatment. The interactions and implications in mitochondrial function were evaluated with TLR9 deficient, SIRT3 deficient, Beclin 1 haplodeficient, and autophagy reporter mice and confirmed in a patient with SIRT3 point mutation and reduced enzymatic activity. The SGLT2 inhibitor, empagliflozin, protects the heart from doxorubicin cardiomyopathy in mice, by acting through a novel Beclin 1-toll-like receptor (TLR) 9-sirtuin-(SIRT) 3 axis. TLR9 and SIRT3 were both essential for the protective effects of empagliflozin. The dilated cardiomyopathy patient with SIRT3 point mutation and reduced enzymatic activity is associated with reduced TLR9 activation and the absence of mitochondrial responses in the heart after the SGLT2 inhibitor treatment. Our data indicate a dynamic communication between autophagy and Beclin 1-TLR9-SIRT3 complexes in the mitochondria in response to empagliflozin that may serve as a potential treatment strategy for heart failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We performed this meta-analysis evaluating the efficacy of chronotherapy of hypertension with angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). METHODS We searched Pubmed, Web of Science, and Cochrane for all published randomized trials that compare antihypertensive effects of ARBs between bedtime dosing and awakening dosing. Blood pressure (BP) was measured by ambulatory BP monitoring in patients with mild or moderate essential hypertension. RESULTS The effects of ARBs on BP were assessed in 805 essential hypertensive patients included in 8 trials with a follow-up of 12 ± 3 weeks. The sleep-time systolic and diastolic BP (SBP, DBP) with bedtime dosing greatly decreased as compared with awakening dosing (weighted mean differences [WMD] for SBP WMD -5.23 [95% confidence intervals (CI), -7.27, -3.20] mm Hg, p < 0.001; WMD for DBP -2.94 [95% CI, -4.52, -1.36] mm Hg, p < 0.001). The reduction of daytime SBP (WMD 0.98 [95% CI, -0.20, 2.17] mm Hg, p = 0.10), DBP (WMD 0.11 [95% CI, -0.68, 0.89] mm Hg, p = 0.79), 24 hour SBP (WMD -0.75 [95% CI, -1.93, 0.42] mm Hg, p = 0.21) and DBP (WMD -0. 77 [95% CI, -1.55 0.01] mm Hg, p = 0.05) with bedtime dosing was similar with awakening dosing. CONCLUSIONS Bedtime dosing with ARBs is more effective in lowering sleep-time BP than awakening dosing in patients with essential hypertension, suggesting a utilization of chronotherapy of hypertension with ARBs to reduce sleep-time high BP. Larger multi-ethnic studies are needed to investigate the efficacy of chronotherapy of hypertension.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with an increased risk of macro- and microvascular complications, including cardiovascular disease (CVD), heart failure (HF), and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Of the currently available glucose-lowering therapies, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is) are the only class to target the pathophysiologic increase in renal glucose reabsorption in patients with T2D. In CV outcomes trials of SGLT-2is in patients with T2D and established CVD or varying levels of CV risk, empagliflozin, canagliflozin, and dapagliflozin were associated with significant improvements in the risk of composite CV and renal outcomes compared with placebo that extended beyond their glycemic effects. Real-world observational studies have also reported improvements in CV outcomes with SGLT-2is compared with other glucose-lowering therapy in routine clinical practice. This review describes the pleiotropic effects of SGLT-2is and discusses the potential mechanisms for these effects as well as how they potentially provide benefits beyond glycemic control in patients with T2D. These favorable nonglycemic effects indicate that SGLT-2is may be of particular benefit in patients with diabetic complications, such as CVD, HF, or CKD. Ongoing large randomized trials in specific patient populations, including those with CVD, HF, or CKD (with or without T2D), may help to confirm the benefits of SGLT-2is in these patients and further elucidate the potential mechanisms of their pleiotropic effects.
