The effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors on inflammatory biomarkers: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Diabetes Obes Metab 2024; 26:2706-2721. [PMID: 38602398 DOI: 10.1111/dom.15586] [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: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/23/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024]
Abstract
AIMS To conduct a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to assess the effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on inflammatory biomarkers. METHODS Medline, Embase and the Cochrane Library were searched for RCTs investigating the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on inflammatory biomarkers, adipokine profiles and insulin sensitivity. RESULTS Thirty-eight RCTs were included (14 967 participants, 63.3% male, mean age 62 ± 8.6 years) with a median (interquartile range) follow-up of 16 (12-24) weeks. Meta-analysis showed that SGLT2 inhibitors significantly improved adiponectin, interleukin-6, tumour necrosis factor receptor-1 (vs. placebo alone: standardized mean difference [SMD] 0.34 [95% confidence interval {CI} 0.23, 0.45], mean difference [MD] -0.85 pg/mL [95% CI -1.32, -0.38], SMD -0.13 [95% CI -0.20, -0.06], respectively), leptin and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance index (vs. CONTROL SMD -0.20 [95% CI -0.33, -0.07], MD -0.83 [95% CI -1.32, -0.33], respectively). There were no significant changes in C-reactive protein (CRP), tumour necrosis factor-α, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, fibroblast growth factor-21 or monocyte chemoattractant protein-1. CONCLUSIONS Our analysis shows that SGLT2 inhibitors likely improve adipokine biomarkers and insulin sensitivity, but there is little evidence that SGLT2 inhibitors improve other inflammatory biomarkers including CRP.

SGLT2-inhibition increases total, LDL, and HDL cholesterol and lowers triglycerides: Meta-analyses of 60 randomized trials, overall and by dose, ethnicity, and drug type. Atherosclerosis 2024; 394:117236. [PMID: 37582673 DOI: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2023.117236] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2023] [Revised: 08/08/2023] [Accepted: 08/09/2023] [Indexed: 08/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2)-inhibitors were developed as glucose-lowering drugs. Surprisingly, SGLT2-inhibitors also reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. The impact of SGLT2-inhibitors on lipids and lipoproteins is unclear, but an effect might contribute to the observed lower cardiovascular risk. We conducted a meta-analysis to examine this, overall and by dose, ethnicity, and drug type. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science were searched for randomized controlled trials examining all available SGLT2-inhibitors. Studies with available lipid measurements were included. Quantitative data synthesis was performed using random and fixed effects models. RESULTS We identified 60 randomized trials, including 147,130 individuals. Overall, using random effects models, SGLT2-inhibitor treatment increased total cholesterol by 0.09 mmol/L (95% CI: 0.06, 0.13), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol by 0.08 mmol/L (0.05, 0.10), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol by 0.06 mmol/L (0.05, 0.07), while it reduced triglycerides by 0.10 mmol/L (0.06, 0.14). Fixed effects estimates were similar but with smaller effect sizes for HDL cholesterol and triglycerides. For higher SGLT2-inhibitor doses, there was a nominally higher non-significant effect on lipids and lipoproteins. In Asian compared to non-Asian populations, a slightly larger increase in HDL cholesterol and a decrease in triglycerides were observed, but with similar results for total and LDL cholesterol. Treatment effects on lipids and lipoproteins were generally robust across different SGLT2-inhibitor drugs. CONCLUSION In meta-analyses, SGLT2-inhibition increased total, LDL, and HDL cholesterol and decreased triglycerides. Effect sizes varied slightly by drug dose and ethnicity but were generally robust by drug type.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION We aimed to evaluate factors that influence changes in blood low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels after treatment with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of outpatients newly initiated on SGLT2 inhibitors (n = 176) and other oral antidiabetic drugs (n = 227). The patients were classified into four subgroups according to statin administration and baseline LDL-C levels (<120 or ≥120 mg/dL). Clinical characteristics were compared among the subgroups. Multivariate analysis was carried out to identify factors contributing to changes in LDL-C. RESULTS The median follow-up period was 13.0 weeks (range 11.9-14.1 weeks, min 8 weeks, maximum 16 weeks) in the SGLT2i group, and 12.0 weeks (range 10.0-14.0 weeks, min 8 weeks, maximum 16 weeks) in the control group. Both groups showed a significant decrease in LDL-C (SGLT2i group -3.8 ± 24.7 mg/dL, control group -3.4 ± 15.0 mg/dL). Multivariate regression analyses showed that in both groups, the change in LDL-C depended on statin use and baseline LDL-C levels. Stratified analyses showed that LDL-C level was significantly decreased in statin users with baseline LDL-C ≥120 mg/dL (from 148.9 ± 33.5 to 109.3 ± 17.9 mg/dL, P = 0.002), and significantly increased in statin non-users with baseline LDL-C <120 mg/dL (from 96.3 ± 27.3 to 104.7 ± 24.8 mg/dL, P = 0.002). These changes were more characteristic for SGLT2 inhibitors than for other oral antidiabetic drugs (P for interaction = 0.010 and <0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS LDL-C levels and statin medication at baseline influence changes in LDL-C after SGLT2 inhibitors treatment in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes.

Use of Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter 2 Inhibitors in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and the Incidence of Retinal Vein Occlusion in Taiwan. Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 2024; 65:19. [PMID: 38864813 PMCID: PMC11174139 DOI: 10.1167/iovs.65.6.19] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the risk of newly diagnosed retinal vein occlusion (RVO) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) using sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) compared to dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i). Methods Claims data from the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan were used in this nationwide retrospective cohort study. A target trial emulation framework was applied. Patients with T2D with no prior diagnosis of RVO who had newly commenced treatment with SGLT-2i or DPP-4i between May 1, 2016, and December 31, 2020, were included. Potential systematic differences in baseline characteristics between the paired groups were controlled using stabilized inverse probability of treatment weighting. The outcome of interest was incident RVO. The hazard ratio (HR) for SGLT-2i compared with that of DPP-4i was estimated using a Cox regression model. Results Data from 123,567 and 578,665 patients receiving SGLT-2i and DPP-4i, respectively, were analyzed. The incidence of RVO was lower in patients newly receiving SGLT-2i (0.59 events per 1000 person-years) compared to those receiving DPP-4i (0.77 events per 1000 person-years) over a mean follow-up of 1.61 years. SGLT-2i users had a significantly lower risk of developing RVO compared with DPP-4i users (HR = 0.76, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.59-0.98). In the individual outcome analysis, SGLT-2i use was significantly associated with a lower risk of branch RVO (HR = 0.71, 95% CI = 0.52-0.96), but not central RVO (HR = 0.84, 95% CI = 0.57-1.24). Conclusions The risk of developing RVO was lower in patients with T2D receiving SGLT-2i compared with that in those receiving DPP-4i.

Abstract
AIMS About 20-40% patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) had an increased risk of developing diabetic nephropathy (DN). Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i) were recommended for treatment of T2DM, while the impact of DPP-4i on renal function remained unclear. This study aimed to explore the effect of DPP-4i on renal parameter of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) in T2DM. METHODS A systematic search was performed across PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library. A fixed or random-effects model was used for quantitative synthesis according to the heterogeneity, which was assessed with I2 index. Sensitivity analysis and publication bias were performed with standard methods, respectively. RESULTS A total of 17 randomized controlled trials were identified. Administration of DPP-4i produced no significant effect on eGFR (WMD, -0.92 mL/min/1.73m2, 95% CI, -2.04 to 0.19) in diabetic condition. DPP-4i produced a favorable effect on attenuating ACR (WMD, -2.76 mg/g, 95% CI, -5.23 to -0.29) in patients with T2DM. The pooled estimate was stable based on the sensitivity test. No publication bias was observed according to Begg's and Egger's tests. CONCLUSIONS Treatment with DPP-4i preserved the renal parameter of eGFR in diabetic condition. Available evidences suggested that administration of DPP-4i produced a favorable effect on attenuating ACR in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
PURPOSE Despite effectiveness of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT 2) inhibitors, concerns have been raised about the potential side effects of these drugs. Thus, a pharmaco-vigilance study was designed that aims to identify any discrepancies between the reported adverse events & assess the safety profile of SGLT2 inhibitors. METHODS We studied diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), euglycemic DKA, amputation, urinary tract infection (UTI), mycotic genital infection & hypotension associated with empagliflozin, dapagliflozin, canagliflozin & ertugliflozin in RCTs and reporting databases. WHO's VigiBase, FAERS, EMA's EudraVigilance & DAEN were thoroughly studied to obtain spontaneously reported real-world adverse events. RESULTS Different SGLT2 inhibitors exhibit varied side effect profiles. Additionally, the findings suggest that adverse events may be more likely to occur in a broader population in the real world than in a highly inclusive clinical trial subset CONCLUSION: Our study provides comparison of the real world reported adverse events to adverse events reported in the clinical trials studying the efficacy of SGLT 2 inhibitors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Modifiable cardiovascular risk factors are high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, sedentary lifestyle, obesity, and hypercholesterolemia. AIM To investigate the impact of sodium-glucose 2 co-transporter inhibitors (SGLT-2i) on modifiable cardiovascular risk factors in Romanian patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHOD A retrospective study was conducted on 200 Romanian patients with T2DM who were being treated with SGLT-2i, either Dapagliflozin or Empagliflozin. Collected data included demographic characteristics, such as weight, body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose (FBG), creatinine, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), abdominal circumference (AC), urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), C-reactive protein (CRP) and N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). The patients were observed for one year after being treated with SGLT-2i. RESULTS The mean value of FBG decreased from 180.00 mg% (IQR: 154.50-207.00) to 130.00 mg% (IQR: 117.50-150.00) (p < 0.001), and the mean of HbA1c values decreased from 8.40% (IQR: 7.98-9.15%) to 7.30% (IQR: 6.90-7.95%) (p < 0.001). We also obtained significant positive effects on body weight, i.e., the weight decreased from 90.50 kg (82.00-106.50) to 89.00 kg (77.50-100.00) (p = 0.018), BMI from 32.87 kg/m2 (29.24-36.45) to 31.00 kg/m2 (27.74-34.71) (p < 0.001) and AC from 107.05 (± 16.39) to 102.50 (± 15.11) (p = 0.042). The UACR decreased from 23.98 mg/g (19.76-36.85) to 19.39 mg/g (1.30-24.29) (p < 0.001). Initially, the median value for SBP was 140.00mmgHg (130.00-160.00), and for DBP was 80.00 mmgHg (72.00-90.00), and one year after treatment, the medium value was 120.00 mmgHg (115.50-130.00) for SBP (p < 0.001), and 72.00 mmgHg (70.00-78.00) for DBP (p < 0.001) The mean CRP values decreased from 68.00 mg/dL (56.25-80.25) to 34.00 mg/dL (28.12-40.12) (p < 0.001), and the mean NT-proBNP decreased from 146.00pg/mL (122.50-170.50) to 136.00 pg/mL (112.50-160.50) (p = 0.005). CONCLUSION Treatment with SGLT-2i in Romanian patients with T2DM has beneficial effects on modifiable cardiovascular risk factors.

Abstract
Background Diabetes mellitus is often accompanied by dyslipidemia. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, as a novel therapeutic agent for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), have been reported to exert effects on lipid, while the results remain controversial. This study is aimed at exploring the effect of SGLT2 inhibitor canagliflozin on lipid profile. Methods This study was a single-center, open-label, nonrandomized, prospective study. Metformin (500 mg three times per day) or canagliflozin (100 mg, once daily) was administered for 12 weeks. Fasting blood samples were collected before and 12 weeks after treatment. Serum lipid profile levels and angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) were determined. In animal experiment, C57BL/6 J mice were divided into three groups including control, STZ + HFD, and STZ + HFD + canagliflozin. Lipid profile and plasma ANGPTL3 level were measured after 12 week's treatment. Moreover, the expression of ANGPTL3 was detected in the liver tissues. Results There was a decreased trend in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) and triglycerides (TG) after canagliflozin treatment, while canagliflozin significantly increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) level and decreased plasma ANGPTL3 level. In addition, the expression of ANGPTL3 in liver tissues decreased obviously in diabetic mice with canagliflozin treatment. Conclusions Canagliflozin increases HDL-c level and suppresses ANGPTL3 expression in patients with T2DM and diabetic mice. The reduction of ANGPTL3 may contribute to the increase of HDL-c. However, the specific mechanism needs further research. This trial is registered with ChiCTR1900021231.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with T2DM often suffer from CVD-related complications, significantly impacting morbidity and mortality rates. The upsurge in CVD prevalence among them is partly linked to sd LDL particles. Understanding the mechanisms behind elevated sd LDL levels is critical for preventing and managing cardiovascular complications in diabetes. METHODS MR was employed to identify instrumental variables and establish causality, exploring underlying mechanisms. RESULTS Notably, T2DM itself, insulin resistance, and fasting glucose seemingly do not directly impact sd LDL levels. Instead, the presence of T2DM or insulin resistance, leading to reduced HDL cholesterol or elevated TG levels, directly contributes to subsequent sd LDL increases, indicating a comprehensive mediating effect. While LDL cholesterol levels correlate positively with sd LDL, they appear unaffected by T2DM or insulin resistance. Importantly, hypertension induced by T2DM or insulin resistance exhibits a positive effect on sd LDL reversal. Unlike T2DM or insulin resistance, blood glucose levels show no significant impact on all processes. CONCLUSIONS It is hoped that these insights might influence the treatment of patients with diabetes and the management of blood parameters in clinical practice. Examining the effect of T2DM or insulin resistance on sd LDL within HDL cholesterol and triglycerides pathways might provide valuable insights for targeted cardiovascular treatments. Additionally, the study's exploration of the potential positive effects of elevated blood pressure on sd LDL reversal may introduce novel considerations for blood pressure management in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Coronary heart disease is a narrowing or obstruction of the vascular cavity caused by atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries, which leads to myocardial ischemia and hypoxia. At present, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is an effective treatment for coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. Restenosis is the main limiting factor of the long-term success of PCI, and it is also a difficult problem in the field of intervention. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor is a new oral glucose-lowering agent used in the treatment of diabetes in recent years. Recent studies have shown that SGLT2 inhibitors can effectively improve the prognosis of patients after PCI and reduce the occurrence of restenosis. This review provides an overview of the clinical studies and mechanisms of SGLT2 inhibitors in the prevention of restenosis, providing a new option for improving the clinical prognosis of patients after PCI.

[PMID: 37848934 PMCID: PMC10583416 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-023-02019-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 10/19/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have shown promise in reducing the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the results are controversial and the underlying metabolic mechanism remains unclear. Emerging evidence implied that SGLT2 inhibitors have extra beneficial metabolic effects on circulating metabolites beyond glucose control, which might play a role in reducing the risk of AF. Hence, our study aimed to investigate the effect of circulating metabolites mediating SGLT2 inhibition in AF by Mendelian randomization (MR). METHODS A two-sample and two-step MR study was conducted to evaluate the association of SGLT2 inhibition with AF and the mediation effects of circulating metabolites linking SGLT2 inhibition with AF. Genetic instruments for SGLT2 inhibition were identified as genetic variants, which were both associated with the expression of SLC5A2 gene and glycated hemoglobin level (HbA1c). Positive control analysis on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was conducted to validate the selection of genetic instruments. RESULTS Genetically predicted SGLT2 inhibition (per 1 SD decrement in HbA1c) was associated with reduced risk of T2DM (odds ratio [OR] = 0.63 [95% CI 0.45, 0.88], P = 0.006) and AF (0.51 [0.27, 0.97], P = 0.039). Among 168 circulating metabolites, two metabolites were both associated with SGLT2 inhibition and AF. The effect of SGLT2 inhibition on AF through the total concentration of lipoprotein particles (0.88 [0.81, 0.96], P = 0.004) and the concentration of HDL particles (0.89 [0.82, 0.97], P = 0.005), with a mediated proportion of 8.03% (95% CI [1.20%, 14.34%], P = 0.010) and 7.59% ([1.09%, 13.34%], P = 0.011) of the total effect, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This study supported the association of SGLT2 inhibition with a reduced risk of AF. The total concentration of lipoprotein particles and particularly the concentration of HDL particles might mediate this association. Further mechanistic and clinical studies research are needed to understand the mediation effects of circulating metabolites especially blood lipids in the association between SGLT2 inhibition and AF.

Biomarkers for Assessing Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus on Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitor Therapy. J Clin Med 2023; 12:6561. [PMID: 37892698 PMCID: PMC10607797 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12206561] [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: 09/15/2023] [Revised: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/13/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
In the current modern era of unhealthy lifestyles, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent liver disease and has become a serious global health problem. To date, there is no approved pharmacotherapy for the treatment of NAFLD, and necessary lifestyle changes such as weight loss, diet, and exercise are usually not sufficient to manage this disease. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have a significantly higher risk of developing NAFLD and vice versa. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are antidiabetic agents that have recently been approved for two other indications: chronic kidney disease and heart failure in diabetics and non-diabetics. They are also emerging as promising new agents for NAFLD treatment, as they have shown beneficial effects on hepatic inflammation, steatosis, and fibrosis. Studies in animals have reported favorable effects of SGLT2 inhibitors, and studies in patients also found positive effects on body mass index (BMI), insulin resistance, glucose levels, liver enzymes, apoptosis, and transcription factors. There are some theories regarding how SGLT2 inhibitors affect the liver, but the exact mechanism is not yet fully understood. Therefore, biomarkers to evaluate underlying mechanisms of action of SGLT2 inhibitors on the liver have now been scrutinized to assess their potential as a future in-label therapy for NAFLD. In addition, finding suitable non-invasive biomarkers could be helpful in clinical practice for the early detection of NAFLD in patients. This is crucial for a positive disease outcome. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the most recent findings on the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on NAFLD biomarkers and the potential of SGLT2 inhibitors to successfully treat NAFLD.

Abstract
Type-2 diabetes mellitus (DM) represents one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Hyperglycemia and glycemic variability are not the only determinant of the increased cardiovascular (CV) risk in diabetic patients, as a frequent metabolic disorder associated with DM is dyslipidemia, characterized by hypertriglyceridemia, decreased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels and a shift towards small dense low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. This pathological alteration, also called diabetic dyslipidemia, represents a relevant factor which could promotes atherosclerosis and subsequently an increased CV morbidity and mortality. Recently, the introduction of novel antidiabetic agents, such as sodium glucose transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), has been associated with a significant improvement in CV outcomes. Beyond their known action on glycemia, their positive effects on the CV system also seems to be related to an ameliorated lipidic profile. In this context, this narrative review summarizes the current knowledge regarding these novel anti-diabetic drugs and their effects on diabetic dyslipidemia, which could explain the provided global benefit to the cardiovascular system.

Abstract
Dyslipidaemia plays a prominent role in the genesis of atherosclerotic plaque and the increased cardiovascular risk in diabetes. Macrophages readily take up atherogenic lipoproteins, transforming into foam cells and amplifying vascular damage in the presence of endothelial dysfunction. We discuss the importance of distinct lipoprotein subclasses in atherogenic diabetic dyslipidaemia as well as the effects of novel anti-diabetic agents on lipoprotein fractions and ultimately on cardiovascular risk prevention. In patients with diabetes, lipid abnormalities should be aggressively identified and treated in conjunction with therapeutical agents used to prevent cardiovascular disease. The use of drugs that improve diabetic dyslipidaemia plays a prominent role in conferring cardiovascular benefit in individuals with diabetes.

Diabetol Metab Syndr 2023; 15:97. [PMID: 37165443 PMCID: PMC10173585 DOI: 10.1186/s13098-023-01074-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2023] [Accepted: 04/29/2023] [Indexed: 05/12/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Arteriosclerosis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease are major complications of diabetes mellitus. Hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, obesity, and metabolic syndrome are associated with the progression of these complications. Sodium-glucose transporter 2 inhibitors such as luseogliflozin are oral hypoglycemic agents that reduce glucose levels, induce loss of weight or body fat, and improve liver function. However, the effects of these agents on lipid profiles are unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate these effects and their relationship with arteriosclerosis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. METHODS This single-center, single-arm, open-labeled prospective study enrolled 25 outpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who visited Minami Osaka Hospital. Laboratory tests and body measurements were performed at weeks 0 and 24. Luseogliflozin was started at 2.5 mg/day after breakfast, and data from weeks 0 and 24 were evaluated. There were no changes in the doses of other antidiabetic and dyslipidemia drugs a month prior to or during the study. RESULTS The patients showed significant reductions in the levels of triglycerides, remnant-like particle cholesterol, and triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio, along with significant increases in the levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoprotein A-1. Alanine aminotransferase, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase, and the fatty liver index were significantly reduced. CONCLUSIONS Luseogliflozin-induced changes in the lipid profile were related to the suppression or improvement of arteriosclerosis and liver function, respectively. Patients who received this drug also showed improvements in the levels of liver enzymes and reductions in the fatty liver index. Earlier use of luseogliflozin might prevent diabetic complications. Trial registration This study was registered in the University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trial Registry (UMIN 000043595) on April 6th, 2021.

Abstract
In 2021 an estimated 74 million individuals had diabetes in India, almost all type 2 diabetes. More than half of patients with diabetes are estimated to be undiagnosed and more 90% have dyslipidemia that is associated with accelerated development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Patients of Indian descent with diabetes have multiple features that distinguish them from patients with diabetes in Western populations. These include characteristics such as earlier age of onset, higher frequency of features of the metabolic syndrome, more prevalent risk factors for ASCVD, and more aggressive course of ASCVD complications. In light of the unique features of diabetes and diabetic dyslipidemia in individuals of Indian descent, the Lipid Association of India developed this expert consensus statement to provide guidance for management of diabetic dyslipidemia in this very high risk population. The recommendations contained herein are the outgrowth of a series of 165 webinars conducted by the Lipid Association of India across the country from May 2020 to July 2021, involving 155 experts in endocrinology and cardiology and an additional 2880 physicians.

Neutral effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on lipoprotein metabolism: From clinical evidence to molecular mechanisms. Pharmacol Res 2023; 188:106667. [PMID: 36657502 DOI: 10.1016/j.phrs.2023.106667] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2022] [Revised: 12/19/2022] [Accepted: 01/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are effective, well-tolerated, and safe glucose-lowering compounds for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). SGLT2i benefit encompasses protection from heart and kidney failure, independently of the presence of diabetes. In addition, SGLT2i consistently reduce the risk of hospitalization for heart failure and, although with some heterogeneity between specific members of the class, favourably affect the risk of cardiovascular outcomes. The molecular mechanisms underlying the cardiovascular favourable effect are not fully clarified. Studies testing the efficacy of SGLT2i in human cohorts and experimental models of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) have reported significant differences in circulating levels and composition of lipoprotein classes. In randomized clinical trials, small but significant increases in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels have been observed, with a still undefined clinical significance; on the other hand, favourable (although modest) effects on high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and triglycerides have been reported. At the molecular level, glycosuria may promote a starving-like state that ultimately leads to a metabolic improvement through the mobilization of fatty acids from the adipose tissue and their oxidation for the production of ketone bodies. This, however, may also fuel hepatic cholesterol synthesis, thus inhibiting atherogenic lipoprotein uptake from the liver. Long-term studies collecting detailed information on lipid-lowering therapies at baseline and during the trials with SGLT2i, as well as regularly monitoring lipid profiles are warranted to disentangle the potential implications of SGLT2i in modulating lipoprotein-mediated atherosclerotic cardiovascular risk.

Abstract
PURPOSE To systematically evaluate the effect of Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on adipose tissue in patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Web of science databases for literature pertaining to Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of SGLT2 inhibitors in treating type 2 diabetes patients. The retrieval time was from the date of establishment of the databases to September 1, 2022. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan5.4 software. RESULTS Totally 551 patients were included in 10 articles. Meta-analysis results showed that compared with the control group, the visceral adipose tissue (WMD = -16.29 cm2, 95% CI: -25.07 ~ -7.50, P<0.00001), subcutaneous adipose tissue (WMD = -19.34 cm2, 95% CI: -36.27 ~ -2.41, P<0.00001), body weight (WMD = -2.36 kg, 95% CI: -2.89 ~ -1.83, P<0.00001) and triglyceride (WMD = -24.41 mg/dl, 95% CI: -45.79 ~ -3.03, P = 0.03) of the trial group significantly reduced. CONCLUSION SGLT2 inhibitors cause significant reductions in visceral adipose tissue, subcutaneous adipose tissue, body weight and triglycerides in type 2 diabetes patients, which may be attributed to the protective effect of the inhibitors on cardiovascular system.

Abstract
Objective Young people with type 1 diabetes are likely to gain body weight and not achieve optimal glycemic control with only high doses of insulin. This study examined the efficacy of the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor dapagliflozin as an adjunct-to-insulin therapy in young Japanese subjects with type 1 diabetes who had been diagnosed before 15 years old, were overweight, and had inadequate control despitereceiving intensive insulin therapy. Methods Twenty-two patients with type 1 diabetes (12 boys and 10 girls 16.0-33.9 years old) were involved in the study. All patients had a body mass index (BMI) >25 kg/m2, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level >7.0%, and daily insulin dose >0.5 units/kg. They were treated with a low dose of dapagliflozin (5.0 mg/day) as an adjunctive therapy to insulin. Fourteen patients were treated with multiple daily injections of insulin, while eight used an insulin pump. Results The body weights and BMIs were significantly reduced during the 12-month study period (change of -4.4 kg and -1.7 kg/m2, p<0.001, respectively). Their insulin dose was significantly decreased (-0.17 units/kg, P <0.001), and glycemic control was significantly improved (fasting plasma glucose: -18.7 mg/dL, HbA1c: -0.62%, p<0.001) during the study period. There was one episode of diabetic ketoacidosis, with no other problematic adverse events, including severe hypoglycemia, observed. Conclusion The use of low-dose dapagliflozin as an adjunct therapy may be beneficial in overweight young people with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate the impact of early initiation of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) on cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with known or at risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS T2D with first prescription of SGLT2i (Dx-to-Rx time) ≤12 months were matched with >12 months using propensity score derived from logistic regression. T2D were divided into 3 groups: (i) known ASCVD; (ii) additional CV risk factor(s) and; (iii) without ASCVD or additional CV risk factors. Incidence rates of 3-point major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE, including non-fatal stroke, non-fatal myocardial infarction and CV death) were compared between Dx-to-Rx time ≤12 months and >12 months across 3 subgroups. RESULTS Median follow-up was 2.8 years (IQR 2.2 to 3.4). Among 29,309 T2D (mean age 57.6±11.4 years, 59.0% men), 23.6% had established ASCVD and 66.6% had additional CV risk factors. Overall, 19.0% of patients had Dx-to-Rx time ≤12 month which was associated with lower rates of MACE [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.27, 95%CI: 0.17-0.42]. Benefits of early initiation of SGLT2i was observed in patients with additional CV risk factors or known ASCVD but not in those without CV risk factors or ASCVD (P for interaction = 0.001). CONCLUSION Early initiation of SGLT2 inhibitor was associated with lower MACE rates in T2D with known or at risk of ASCVD.

Abstract
Obesity is an important independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, remaining an important health concern worldwide. Evidence shows that saturated fatty acid-induced inflammation in cardiomyocytes contributes to obesity-related cardiomyopathy. Dapagliflozin (Dapa), a selective SGLT2 inhibitor, exerts a favorable preventive activity in heart failure. In this study, we investigated the protective effect of Dapa against cardiomyopathy caused by high fat diet-induced obesity in vitro and in vivo. Cultured rat cardiomyocyte H9c2 cells were pretreated with Dapa (1, 2.5 μM) for 1.5 h, followed by treatment with palmitic acid (PA, 200 μM) for 24 h. We showed that Dapa pretreatment concentration-dependently attenuated PA-induced cell hypertrophy, fibrosis and apoptosis. Transcriptome analysis revealed that inhibition of PA-activated MAPK/AP-1 pathway contributed to the protective effect of Dapa in H9c2 cells, and this was confirmed by anti-p-cJUN fluorescence staining assay. Using surface plasmon resonance analysis we found the direct binding of Dapa with NHE1. Gain and loss of function experiments further demonstrated the role of NHE1 in the protection of Dapa. In vivo experiments were conducted in mice fed a high fat diet for 5 months. The mice were administered Dapa (1 mg·kg-1·d-1, i.g.) in the last 2 months. Dapa administration significantly reduced the body weight and improved the serum lipid profiles. Dapa administration also alleviated HFD-induced cardiac dysfunction and cardiac aberrant remodeling via inhibiting MAPK/AP-1 pathway and ameliorating cardiac inflammation. In conclusion, Dapa exerts a direct protective effect against saturated fatty acid-induced cardiomyocyte injury in addition to the lowering effect on serum lipids. The protective effect results from negative regulating MAPK/AP-1 pathway in a NHE1-dependent way. The current study highlights the potential of clinical use of Dapa in the prevention of obesity-related cardiac dysfunction.

Abstract
AbstractSodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors could reduce cardiovascular events in patients with heart failure irrespective of diabetes status. In this prespecified sub-analysis of randomised-controlled trial, we investigated the efficacy of luseogliflozin (2.5 mg daily), a sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, with that of voglibose (0.6 mg daily), an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, on high-risk lipid profile and inflammatory markers in patients with type-2 diabetes and heart failure. Among the 157 patients studied, there were no significant differences in the mean malondialdehyde LDL or small-dense LDL cholesterol levels between the luseogliflozin and voglibose groups (percent change: 0.2% vs. − 0.6%, p = 0.93; − 1.7% vs. − 8.6%, p = 0.21) after 12 weeks in comparison to levels at the baseline. No significant difference was observed between the two groups in the adiponectin and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels after 12 weeks compared to the baseline levels (percent change, − 1.6% vs. − 4.0% and 22.5% vs. 10.0%; p = 0.52 and p = 0.55, respectively). In conclusion, in patients with type-2 diabetes and heart failure, compared to voglibose, luseogliflozin did not significantly improve the high-risk lipoprotein profile including malondialdehyde LDL and small-dense LDL cholesterol or the levels of inflammatory markers, including adiponectin and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein.Trial registration: Trial number: UMIN-CTR, UMIN000018395; Registered 23 July 2015; URL: https://www.umin.ac.jp/ctr/index.htm.

Abstract
Diabetes is a complex chronic disease, and among the affected patients, cardiovascular disease (CVD)is the most common cause of death. Consequently, the evidence for the cardiovascular benefit of glycaemic control may reduce long-term CVD rates. Over the years, multiple pharmacological approaches aimed at controlling blood glucose levels were unable to significantly reduce diabetes-related cardiovascular events. In this view, a therapeutic strategy combining SGLT2 inhibitors and plant extracts might represent a promising solution. Indeed, countering the main cardiometabolic risk factor using plant extracts could potentiate the cardioprotective action of SGLT2 inhibitors. This review highlights the main molecular mechanisms underlying these beneficial effects that could contribute to the better management of diabetic patients.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is the most common liver disease, is associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome. Although there is no consensus on the treatment of NAFLD, growing evidence suggests that tight glycemic control would contribute to the improvement of NAFLD. However, some insulin sensitizers cannot improve NAFLD, especially nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Whether insulin-independent hypoglycemic drug dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor, may improve NAFLD keeps unclear. Therefore, 12-week-old male C57BL/6 wild-type and db/db mice were treated with 1 mg/kg dapagliflozin or vehicle for 12 weeks. Dapagliflozin alleviated NASH, manifesting as decreased alanine aminotransferase and NAFLD activity score in db/db mice. Also, dapagliflozin reduced de novo lipogenesis by the upregulation of FXR/SHP and downregulation of LXRα/SREBP-1c in the liver of db/db mice. Moreover, dapagliflozin treatment reduced inflammatory response by inhibiting the NF-κB pathway and alleviated fibrosis by restoring the balance between fibrogenesis and fibrolysis in the liver of db/db mice. In summary, dapagliflozin alleviates NASH mostly by reducing lipid accumulation, inflammation, and fibrosis. These findings provide new insights for understanding the protective effect of dapagliflozin in NASH and suggest that dapagliflozin may be used to treat NASH.

Abstract
Dapagliflozin is a selective sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and chronic kidney disease. In all indications, treatment can be initiated in adults with estimated glomerular filtration rate of at least 25 mL/min/1.73 m2. As monotherapy or as an additive therapy, dapagliflozin has been shown to promote better glycaemic control, associated with a reduction in body weight and blood pressure in a wide range of patients. In addition, dapagliflozin has a positive impact on arterial stiffness, helps to control the lipid profile and contributes to a reduced risk of cardiovascular complications. This article reviews the current scientific evidence on the role of dapagliflozin in cardiovascular risk factors including arterial stiffness, cardiovascular disease and heart failure in patients with T2DM, with the aim of helping to translate this evidence into clinical practice. The underuse of SGLT2i in actual clinical practice is also discussed.

Abstract
Objective Small and dense low-density lipoprotein (sdLDL) elevation may be among the most sensitive early biomarkers for nascent cardiovascular disease. This study, therefore, investigated the association between visit-to-visit changes in sdLDL and cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) progression in older individuals, and the influence of Apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype on this association. Methods Between April 2007 and July 2009, 1,143 participants ≥60 years old were recruited from the Shandong region of China, and sdLDL was measured at baseline and at each follow-up visit. White matter hyperintensities (WMHs), lacunes, microbleeds, and enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVSs) were assessed by magnetic resonance imaging. The APOE genotype was determined and participants were stratified as ε4-positive or ε4-negative. Results During an average follow-up of 86.0 months, 225 participants (19.7%) developed WMH progression, 193 (16.9%) lacune progression, 170 (14.9%) microbleed progression, and 185 (16.2%) EPVS progression. Compared with patients in the first (lowest) tertile of visit-to-visit mean sdLDL, those in the second and third tertiles demonstrated significantly greater risks of WMH progression (53.5 and 105.3% higher), lacune progression (53.3 and 60.8%), microbleed progression (47.2 and 127.6%), and EPVS progression (54.0 and 135.0%) after adjustment for confounders (all adjusted P values for trends <0.001). Compared with patients in the first tertile of visit-to-visit sdLDL SD, those in the second and third tertiles also demonstrated significantly greater risks of WMH progression (49.9% and 143.6%), lacune progression (75.3 and 178.0%), microbleed progression (12.7 and 64.7%), and EPVS progression (41.7 and 114.6%) after adjustment (all P < 0.001). There were significant and positive visit-to-visit mean sdLDL × visit-to-visit sdLDL SD, visit-to-visit mean sdLD×ε4-positive, visit-to-visit sdLDL SD×ε4-positive, and visit-to-visit mean sdLDL×visit-to-visit sdLDL SD×ε4-positive interactions influencing CSVD progression after confounder adjustment (all P < 0.05). Conclusion Large and variable visit-to-visit changes in sdLDL are independent predictors of aggressive CSVD progression, and this association is strongly influenced by APOE ε4 allele genotype.

The SGLT2 Inhibitor Dapagliflozin Increases the Oxidation of Ingested Fatty Acids to Ketones in Type 2 Diabetes. Diabetes Care 2022; 45:1408-1415. [PMID: 35312749 DOI: 10.2337/dc21-2043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2021] [Accepted: 02/22/2022] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanism for increased ketogenesis following treatment with the SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin in people with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The design was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study with a 4-week washout period. Participants received dapagliflozin or placebo in random order for 4 weeks. After each treatment, they ingested 30 mL of olive oil containing [U-13C]palmitate to measure ketogenesis, with blood sampling for 480 min. Stable isotopes of glucose and glycerol were infused to measure glucose flux and lipolysis, respectively, at 450-480 min. RESULTS Glucose excretion rate was higher and peripheral glucose uptake lower with dapagliflozin than placebo. Plasma β-hydroxybutyrate (BOHB) concentrations and [13C2]BOHB concentrations were higher and glucose concentrations lower with dapagliflozin than placebo. Nonesterified fatty acids (NEFAs) were higher with dapagliflozin at 300 and 420 min, but lipolysis at 450-480 min was not different. Triacylglycerol at all time points and endogenous glucose production rate at 450-480 min were not different between treatments. CONCLUSIONS The increase in ketone enrichment from the ingested palmitic acid tracer suggests that meal-derived fatty acids contribute to the increase in ketones during treatment with dapagliflozin. The increase in BOHB concentration with dapagliflozin occurred with only minimal changes in plasma NEFA concentration and no change in lipolysis. This finding suggests a metabolic switch to increase ketogenesis within the liver.

Abstract
Cardiovascular (CV) disease is the most alarming complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), and a strategy aiming at cardiovascular event prevention in diabetes mellitus has long been debated. Large landmark clinical trials have shown cardiovascular benefits of intensive glycemic control as a ‘legacy effect’ in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus. In contrast, we have learned that excessive intervention aimed at strong glycemic control could cause unexpected cardiovascular death in patients who are resistant to treatments against hyperglycemia. It has also been shown that the comprehensive multifactorial intervention for cardiovascular risk factors that was advocated in the current guideline provided substantial cardiovascular event reduction. The impact of classical antidiabetic agents launched before 1990s on cardiovascular events is controversial. Although there are many clinical or observational studies assessing the impact of those agents on cardiovascular events, the conclusions are inconsistent owing to variable patient backgrounds and concomitant antidiabetic agents among the studies. Moreover, most of them were not large‐scale, randomized, cardiovascular outcome trials. In contrast, GLP‐1RA (glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist) and SGLT2 (sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2) inhibitors have demonstrated undeniable cardiovascular benefits in large‐scale, randomized, controlled trials. Whereas GLP‐1RAs decrease atherosclerotic disease, especially stroke, SGLT2 inhibitors mainly prevent heart failure. SGLT2 inhibitors are superior to GLP‐1RAs with respect to hard renal outcomes. Therefore, it can be said that drugs such as GLP‐1RAs and SGLT2 inhibitors that prevent cardiovascular events, in addition to their glucose‐lowering effect, are incredible novel tools that we have gained for use in diabetic treatment.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic, complex metabolic disease characterized by chronic hyperglycemia causing from insufficient insulin signaling because of insulin resistance or defective insulin secretion, and may induce severe complications and premature death. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are oral drugs used to reduce hyperglycemia in patients with T2DM, including empagliflozin, ertugliflozin, dapagliflozin and canagliflozin. The primary objective of this article is to examine the clinical benefit, safety, and tolerability of the four SGLT2 inhibitors approved by the US FDA. SGLT2 inhibitors increase urinary glucose excretion via inhibiting SGLT2 to decrease renal reabsorption of filtered glucose and reduce the renal threshold for glucose. Rather than stimulating insulin release, SGLT2 inhibitors improve β-cell function by improving glucotoxicity, as well as reduce insulin resistance and increase insulin sensitivity. Early clinical trials have confirmed the beneficial effects of SGLT2 in T2DM with acceptable safety and excellent tolerability. In recent years, SGLT2 inhibitors has been successively approved by the FDA to decrease cardiovascular death and decrease the risk of stroke and cardiac attack in T2DM adults who have been diagnosed with cardiovascular disease, treating heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction and HF with preserved ejection fraction, and treat diabetic kidney disease (DKD), decrease the risk of hospitalization for HF in T2DM and DKD patients. SGLT2 inhibitors are expected to be an effective treatment for T2DM patients with non alcoholic fatty liver disease. SGLT2 inhibitors have a similar safety profile to placebo or other active control groups, with major adverse events such as Ketoacidosis or hypotension and genital or urinary tract infections.

Abstract
Aims/Introduction The importance of low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C) in the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease has recently been reported in the population aged ≥75 years with hypercholesterolemia. Therefore, the current status of LDL‐C management for primary prevention of coronary artery disease in patients aged ≥75 years with type 2 diabetes mellitus was investigated. Materials and Methods A total of 124 patients aged ≥75 years who had type 2 diabetes mellitus, but no coronary artery disease, were investigated. The patients' background characteristics, LDL‐C, glycemic status, ankle‐brachial index and cardio‐ankle vascular index were compared between patients taking and not taking LDL‐C‐lowering agents, such as hydroxymethylglutaryl‐CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) and ezetimibe. The details of the antihyperlipidemic and antidiabetic agents used in the present study were also examined. Results LDL‐C was significantly lower in patients taking LDL‐C‐lowering agents (LDLCLT[+]) than in patients not taking them (LDLCLT[−]), although LDL‐C was maintained <120 mg/dL in both groups (93.0 mg/dL vs 102.1 mg/dL). Approximately half of the cases in the LDLCLT(+) group received moderate‐intensity statins, with pitavastatin being the most prescribed statin. Glycated hemoglobin was significantly lower in the LDLCLT(+) group than in the LDLCLT(−) group (6.9% vs 7.3%). Sodium‐glucose transporter 2 inhibitors were more frequently used in the LDLCLT(+) group than in the LDLCLT(−) group. The ankle‐brachial index/cardio‐ankle vascular index did not differ between the groups. Conclusion Low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol was properly managed for primary prevention of coronary artery disease in patients aged ≥75 years with type 2 diabetes mellitus regardless of the presence or absence of LDL‐C‐lowering agents.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (SFRP5) affects the proliferation, migration and angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) induced by high glucose (HG). HUVECs were treated with different concentrations of glucose. MTT, wound healing, angiogenesis, and ELISA assays were used to detect cell cytotoxicity, migration, tube formation, and VEGF165 and VEGF165b levels, respectively. The mice model of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated with myocardial infarction (MI) was established. SFRP5 was injected intrabitoneally for 2 weeks. cardiac output (CO), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular shortening fraction (LVSF) were detected by echocardiography. Western blot was used to detect the protein levels of SFRP5, Wnt5a, JNK1/2/3, p-JNK1/2/3, TGF-β1, Caspase3, Bax, and Bcl-2. The expression of SFRP5 was declined in HG-induced HUVECs and T2DM-MI. Intervention of SFRP5 promoted the migration of HUVECs and angiogenesis, as evidenced by a lower expression of Bax and caspase3, but a higher expression of Bcl-2. Meanwhile, SFRP5 inhibition repress Wnt5a and p-JNK expression. Howerver, The JNK inhibitor (SP600125) enhanced the down-regulation of Wnt5a/JNK pathway proteins by SFRP5. SFRP5 intervention increased the levels of CO, LVSF, and LVEF in T2DM-MI mice. SFRP5 inhibited myocardial pathological injury and fibrosis in T2DM-MI mice and SFRP5 could down-regulate Wnt5a and p-JNK1/2/3 activation. SFRP5 promotes the proliferation, migration and angiogenesis of HUVECs induced by HG, and inhibits cardiac dysfunction, pathological damage, fibrosis, and myocardial angiogenesis in diabetic myocardial ischemia mice, which is achieved by inhibiting Wnt5a/JNK signaling.

Abstract
Dapagliflozin is a selective sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (EF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). In monotherapy or as an additive therapy, dapagliflozin aids glycaemic control, is associated with reductions in blood pressure and weight, and promotes a favourable lipid profile. In this review, we address the impact of dapagliflozin on cardiovascular risk factors and common microangiopathic complications such as kidney disease and retinopathy in patients with T2DM. Furthermore, we evaluate its potential beneficial effects on other less frequent complications of diabetes, such as macular oedema, cognitive impairment, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and respiratory disorders during sleep. Moreover, the underuse of SGLT2i in clinical practice is discussed. Our goal is to help translate this evidence into clinical practice.

Abstract
AIM Lipid abnormalities often occur in patients with diabetes mellitus and the coexistence of diabetes mellitus and dyslipidaemia will increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. However, the specific effects of sitagliptin on lipid control remain elusive in diabetic patients. The aim of this meta-analysis is to investigate the effects of sitagliptin alone or with other antidiabetic agents on serum lipid control. METHODS PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase and the ClinicalTrials.gov website were systematically searched from 2006 (the first year that sitagliptin entered market) to 16 January 2021. Eligible studies were randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of sitagliptin including outcomes of serum total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). RESULTS A total of 14 RCTs with 2654 patients were identified. Treatment with sitagliptin alone or in combination with other antidiabetic agents significantly reduced serum TC [mean difference (MD) = -5.52 95% confidence interval (95% CI), -7.88 to -3.15; P < 0.00001] and LDL-C (MD = -0.07; 95% CI, -0.14 to 0.00; P < 0.00001) in patients with type 2 diabetes. No statistical significances were found in serum triglycerides (MD = 1.53; 95% CI, -8.22 to 11.28; P = 0.76) or HDL-C (MD = 0.65; 95% CI, -1.59 to 0.29; P = 0.18). Subgroup analyses suggest that sitagliptin can significantly decrease serum LDL-C, TC and triglyceride levels compared with placebo alone, and no statistical significance was found in comparison with the serum HDLC levels. CONCLUSION Sitagliptin alone or in combination with other antidiabetic agents significantly reduces serum TC and LDL-C in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, while no significant difference was observed in serum triglycerides or HDL-C.

Abstract
The introduction of sodium glucose transporter-2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists in type 2 diabetes mellitus treatment has shown an unexpectedly significant improvement in heart disease outcome trials. Although they have very different modes of action, a portion of the salutary cardiovascular disease improvement may be related to their impact on diabetic dyslipidemia. As discussed in this focused review, the sodium glucose transporter-2 inhibitors as a class show a mild increase in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels, while triglycerides (TG) decrease inconsistently. In particular, the rise in LDL appears to be related to the less atherogenic, large buoyant LDL particles. The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists show more of an impact on weight loss and improvement in the underlying low HDL and high TG dyslipidemia. The effect of sodium glucose transporter-2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists when used in combination remains largely unknown. Also unexplored is difference in effect of these medications among various ethnicities and metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors block glucose reabsorption in the renal proximal tubule, an insulin-independent mechanism that plays a critical role in glycemic regulation in diabetes. In addition to their glucose-lowering effects, SGLT2 inhibitors prevent both renal damage and the onset of chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular events, in particular heart failure with both reduced and preserved ejection fraction. These unexpected benefits prompted changes in treatment guidelines and scientific interest in the underlying mechanisms. Aside from the target effects of SGLT2 inhibition, a wide spectrum of beneficial actions is described for the kidney and the heart, even though the cardiac tissue does not express SGLT2 channels. Correction of cardiorenal risk factors, metabolic adjustments ameliorating myocardial substrate utilization, and optimization of ventricular loading conditions through effects on diuresis, natriuresis, and vascular function appear to be the main underlying mechanisms for the observed cardiorenal protection. Additional clinical advantages associated with using SGLT2 inhibitors are antifibrotic effects due to correction of inflammation and oxidative stress, modulation of mitochondrial function, and autophagy. Much research is required to understand the numerous and complex pathways involved in SGLT2 inhibition. This review summarizes the current known mechanisms of SGLT2-mediated cardiorenal protection.

Abstract
Sodium glucose transporter type 2 (SGLT2) molecules are found in proximal tubules of the kidney, and perhaps in the brain or intestine, but rarely in any other tissue. However, their inhibitors, intended to improve diabetes compensation, have many more beneficial effects. They improve kidney and cardiovascular outcomes and decrease mortality. These benefits are not limited to diabetics but were also found in non-diabetic individuals. The pathophysiological pathways underlying the treatment success have been investigated in both clinical and experimental studies. There have been numerous excellent reviews, but these were mostly restricted to limited aspects of the knowledge. The aim of this review is to summarize the known experimental and clinical evidence of SGLT2 inhibitors' effects on individual organs (kidney, heart, liver, etc.), as well as the systemic changes that lead to an improvement in clinical outcomes.

Abstract
The presence of residual cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk is a current dilemma in clinical practice; indeed, despite optimal management and treatment, a considerable proportion of patients still undergo major CV events. Novel lipoprotein biomarkers are suggested as possible targets for improving the outcomes of patients at higher risk for CVD, and their impact on major CV events and mortality have previously been investigated. Innovative antidiabetic therapies have recently shown a significant reduction in atherogenic lipoproteins, beyond their effects on glucose parameters; it has also been suggested that such anti-atherogenic effect may represent a valuable mechanistic explanation for the cardiovascular benefit of, at least, some of the novel antidiabetic agents, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists. This emphasizes the need for further research in the field in order to clearly assess the effects of innovative treatments on different novel biomarkers, including atherogenic lipoproteins, such as small dense low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) and dysfunctional high-density lipoprotein (HDL). The current article discusses the clinical importance of novel lipid biomarkers for better management of patients in order to overcome residual cardiovascular risk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to clarify the efficacy of dapagliflozin versus liraglutide in patients with overweight or obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) at the beginning of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. METHODS T2DM patients with overweight or obesity who visited the Metabolic Disease Management Center at Tianjin Fourth Central Hospital from October 2019 to January 2020 were recruited and randomised to receive dapagliflozin or liraglutide for 24 weeks. Changes in blood glucose and lipid levels, blood pressure, and body weight, as well as the occurrence of hypoglycaemia and other adverse events, were compared. RESULTS 309 patients completed the study (143 in liraglutide group and 166 in dapagliflozin group). After 24 weeks, HbA1c, fasting blood glucose (FPG), and 2 h postprandial blood glucose (2hPG) levels significantly decreased from 8.80% ± 1.41% to 7.02% ± 1.05%, 10.41 ± 3.13 to 7.59 ± 2.16 mmol/L, and 17.90 ± 4.39 to 10.12 ± 2.47 mmol/L, respectively, in the dapagliflozin group, and from 8.92% ± 1.49% to 6.78% ± 1.00%, 10.04 ± 2.99 to 7.20 ± 1.63 mmol/L, and 17.30 ± 4.39 to 10.13 ± 4.15 mmol/L, respectively, in the liraglutide group. Changes in HbA1c, FPG, and 2hPG levels between groups were not significantly different. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level significantly decreased from 144.1 ± 19.1 to 139.7 ± 16.2 mmHg (p = 0.001) and from 3.21 ± 0.94 to 2.98 ± 0.89 mmol/L (p = 0.014), respectively, in the dapagliflozin group. After COVID-19 outbreak, the number of patients taking sleep-promoting drugs increased from 4.9% to 9.4% (p = 0.029). CONCLUSIONS Liraglutide and dapagliflozin had strong hypoglycaemic effects in patients with overweight or obesity and T2DM at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Dapagliflozin may be beneficial in improving SBP and LDL-C levels; however, further research is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dyslipidemia is a well-recognized risk factor for diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Growing evidences have shown that compared with the traditional lipid parameters, some lipid ratios may provide additional information of lipid metabolism. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate which lipid index was most related to DKD. METHODS This study was a cross-sectional study that enrolled patients with T2D from January 2021 to October 2021. Each participant was screened for DKD, and the diagnostic criterion for DKD is estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 or urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) ≥ 30 mg/g for 3 months. Fasting blood was collected to determine lipid profiles by an automatic biochemical analyzer, and lipid ratios were calculated based on corresponding lipid parameters. Spearman's correlation analyses were conducted to assess the correlations between lipid indices and kidney injury indices, and binary logistic regression analyses were conducted to explore the relationship between lipid indices and the risk of DKD. RESULTS A total of 936 patients with T2D were enrolled in the study, 144 (15.38%) of whom had DKD. The LDL-C/Apo B ratios were positively correlated with eGFR (r = 0.146, p < 0.05) and inversely correlated to cystatin C and UACR (r = -0.237 and -0.120, both p < 0.001). Multiple logistic regression demonstrated that even after adjusting for other clinical covariates, the LDL-C/Apo B ratios were negatively related to DKD, and the odds ratio (95% confidence interval) was 0.481 (0.275-0.843). Furthermore, subgroup analyses revealed that compared with patients with normal lipid profiles and a high LDL-C/Apo B ratio, the odds ratio of DKD in patients with normal lipid metabolism and a low LDL-C/Apo B ratio was 2.205 (1.136-4.280) after adjusting for other clinical covariates. CONCLUSION In patients with T2D, the LDL-c/Apo B ratio was most closely associated with DKD among various lipid indices, and a lower LDL-C/Apo B ratio was associated with increased risks of DKD among patients with T2D.

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

Abstract
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) are at increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease. Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, also known as gliflozins, are a class of medications used to treat T2D by preventing the reabsorption of glucose filtered through the kidney and thereby facilitating glucose excretion in the urine. Over the past 5 years, many cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs) have evaluated the safety and efficacy of SGLT2 inhibitors in preventing CV events. The results of 7 CVOTs have provided solid evidence that the use of SGLT2 in patients with T2D and at high CV risk significantly reduced the risk of death from CV causes. Moreover, in patient with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, regardless of the presence or absence of T2D, SGLT2 inhibitors use significantly reduced the risk of worsening heart failure and death from CV causes. Although the exact mechanism of the cardiorenal benefit of SGLT2 inhibitors is still unknown, studies have shown that the beneficial effect of these drugs cannot be exclusively explained by their glucose lowering effect, and several possible mechanisms have been proposed. This review will explore the changing role of SGLT2 inhibitors from a diabetes drug to clinical practice guideline-supported therapy for the prevention and treatment of CV diseases, including heart failure.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This prospective pharmacodynamic (PD) study assessed the effect of the sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i), dapagliflozin, on platelet reactivity. METHODS Patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (n = 27) who were on maintenance dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) of aspirin 81 mg daily, and clopidogrel 75 mg daily were recruited. Platelet function was evaluated with the VerifyNow™ P2Y12 assay (Werfen, Bedford, MA, USA) and assessed prior to initiation of and after 10 days of treatment with dapagliflozin 10 mg once-daily dose regimen. Results were compared with a paired t test. RESULTS Treatment with dapagliflozin significantly decreased P2Y12 reaction units (PRU) by 20%, (95% confidence interval (CI) 8.5-32.6%, p value 0.002). The mean difference in PRU was 36.70 (95% CI 16.66-56.75). No patients experienced any serious adverse events (SAEs). CONCLUSIONS Significantly diminished platelet reactivity was observed on dapagliflozin as compared to without dapagliflozin. This dedicated pharmacodynamic study could be potentially informative and applicable for Trinidadian stable CAD patients with T2DM on DAPT. Further studies are required to confirm these exploratory findings. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION EDGE ClinicalTrials.gov number NCT04400760.

Abstract
AIMS Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common form of chronic liver disease in Western countries and a common comorbidity with type 2 diabetes (T2D). It lacks effective pharmacotherapy. We aimed to summarize the evidence on the effects of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on liver structure and function. MATERIALS AND METHODS Meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials in PubMed, Web of Science and ClinicalTrials.gov from their inception to April 2019. Trials evaluating liver function and/or structure and comparing SGLT2 inhibitors with placebo or other oral antidiabetic drugs in patients with T2D were included. Twenty studies (from 3033) were included. A total of 1950 patients with T2D, with or without NAFLD, were treated with SGLT2 inhibitors for at least 8 weeks, and 1900 patients were used as controls. Independent extraction was carried out by two observers. This study was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis. RESULTS SGLT2 inhibitors induced a significant decrease in serum alanine (-7.43U/L, [95%CI -12.14, -2.71], p < 0.01), in aspartate aminotransferases (-2.83U/L, [-4.71, -0.95], p < 0.01), as well as in gamma glutamyl transferase (-8.21U/L, [-9.52, -6.91], p < 0.01), and an increase in total plasma bilirubin (8.19% [0.79, 15.59], p < 0.01), comparing with placebo or other oral antidiabetic drugs. SGLT2 inhibitors treatment was associated with a decrease in liver steatosis (-3.39% [-6.01, -0.77], p < 0.0.1). CONCLUSIONS Treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors improves liver structure and function in patients with T2D. This meta-analysis suggests that SGLT2 inhibitors are a promising pharmacological approach for treatment of NAFLD.

Effects of empagliflozin on lipoprotein subfractions in patients with type 2 diabetes: data from a randomized, placebo-controlled study. Atherosclerosis 2021; 330:8-13. [PMID: 34218214 DOI: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2021.06.915] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2021] [Revised: 05/11/2021] [Accepted: 06/24/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, glucose-lowering drugs that increase urinary glucose excretion, have been shown to reduce CV events in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), despite the fact that these agents increase blood levels of the proatherogenic low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). It has been hypothesized that hemoconcentration due to osmotic diuresis, effects on calculated LDL particle size, or a modulation of lipoprotein subfractions may play a role in this context but to date the underlying mechanisms remain largely unexplored. Therefore, the present study examined effects of empagliflozin on LDL-C and lipoprotein subfractions including calculated LDL particle size and composition. METHODS In this placebo-controlled, randomized, double blind study, patients with T2D were randomized to empagliflozin 10 mg (n = 20) or placebo (n = 22). Composition of lipoprotein subfractions was assessed before and after 3 months of treatment. Lipoproteins were separated using a combined ultracentrifugation-precipitation method (β-quantification). RESULTS Empagliflozin increased LDL-C after 3 months of treatment (from baseline: 103 ± 36 mg/dL to 112 ± 47 mg/dL; p < 0.001) while no difference was recorded after day 1 or day 3 of treatment. The increase of LDL-C was paralleled by an increase of total cholesterol (baseline: 169 ± 41 mg/dL, 3 months: 185 ± 48 mg/dL; p = 0.001). Analyses of lipoprotein subfractions revealed LDL phospholipids and LDL apolipoprotein B to be increased by empagliflozin after 3 months of treatment while calculated LDL particle size was not affected. In addition empagliflozin increased free fatty acid concentrations. CONCLUSIONS Empagliflozin treatment of patients with T2D increased LDL-C and LDL apolipoprotein B levels but had no effect on calculated LDL particle size.

Abstract
Metabolic disorders, including obesity, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia, as well as cardiovascular diseases (CVD), particularly atherosclerosis, are still leading causes of death worldwide. Plasma levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) are currently being considered as a critical risk factor for the diseases mentioned above, especially atherosclerosis. Because of the heterogeneous nature of LDL, many studies have already been conducted on its subclasses, especially small dense LDL (sdLDL). According to available evidence, sdLDL levels can be considered as an ideal alternative to LDL levels for monitoring CVD and early diagnosis of atherosclerosis. Recently, several researchers have focused on factors that are able to decrease sdLDL levels and improve health quality. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to describe the production process of sdLDL particles and review the effects of pharmaceutical and dietary agents as well as lifestyle on sdLDL plasma levels. In brief, their mechanisms of action are discussed. Apparently, cholesterol and LDL-lowering compounds are also effective in the reduction of sdLDL levels. In addition, improving lipid profile, especially the reduction of triglyceride levels, appropriate regimen, and lifestyle can decrease sdLDL levels. Therefore, all the aforementioned parameters should be taken into consideration simultaneously in sdLDL levels reducing strategies.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are widely used antihyperglycemic drugs that show remarkable cardiorenal protective effects in patients with or without type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, they are effective among patients across a wide range of baseline renal and cardiac function. Numerous mechanisms have been evaluated to understand these remarkable clinical benefits. From an early stage, these agents were noted to affect the plasma lipid profile. Here we review lipid profile alterations attributable to SGLT2 inhibitors and also some mechanisms explored in model systems and human studies. RECENT FINDINGS SGLT2 inhibitors given to patients with diabetes as monotherapy shift substrate utilization from carbohydrates to lipids, and have mild effects on the lipid profile. Increased LDL cholesterol appears to be associated with increased hepatic production and decreased catabolism. Increased HDL cholesterol and decreased triglycerides appear to be associated with improved insulin sensitivity and increased lipolysis. Lipid effects of SGLT2 inhibitors are further modulated by background therapy with other diabetes medications and statins. SUMMARY The minor lipid profile alterations observed in patients treated with SGLT2 inhibitors are offset by the staggering range of beneficial pleiotropic mechanisms that likely explain the marked cardiorenal benefits of these agents.

Effect of SGLT-2 Inhibitors on Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Systematic Review with Meta-analysis and Trial Sequential Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials. Oman Med J 2021; 36:e273.

Abstract
Objectives Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a common problem associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). There have been anecdotal reports of the efficacy of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2Is) in improving liver function parameters in those with concomitant T2DM and NAFLD/NASH. We sought to systematically evaluate the evidence of SGLT2Is in improving liver function parameters in T2DM patients with NAFLD, considering the risks of random error based on trial sequential analysis (TSA). We also performed a meta-analysis based on a random-effects model. Methods A systematic literature search was performed using the Medline, Cochrane, and Embase databases from inception to 20 October 2018. Primary outcome for meta-analyses was the changes in hepatic enzyme levels (alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase). We also performed a meta-analysis on changes in insulin resistance, glycemic, and lipid parameters using SGLT2Is as a secondary objective. Results Eight eligible randomized controlled studies were eligible for analysis. Meta-analysis showed the efficacy of two SLT2Is, dapagliflozin, and canagliflozin in reducing these enzymes level. TSA showed that canagliflozin significantly reduced the gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase level by weighted mean difference (-5.474, 95% confidence interval (CI): -6.289??-4.659) compared to others comparators, and the evidence is conclusive. Dapagliflozin also had a statistically significant reduction in glycated hemoglobin, which is a parameter of glycemic control and homeostatic model assessment for insulin sensitivity (HOMA-IR), which is a parameter of insulin sensitivity by a weight mean difference, -0.732 (95% CI: -1.087??-0.378) and -0.804 (95% CI: -1.336??0.272), respectively. Conclusions This study indicated that canagliflozin effectively improves liver function parameters among patients with diabetes, while dapagliflozin is more effective in improving glycemic indices and insulin sensitivity.
