Abstract
Acute and chronic sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibition increases endogenous glucose production (EGP). However, the organ-liver versus kidney-responsible for the increase in EGP has not been identified. In this study, 20 subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and 12 subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) received [3-3H]glucose infusion (to measure total EGP) combined with arterial and renal vein catheterization and para-aminohippuric acid infusion for determination of renal blood flow. Total EGP, net renal arteriovenous balance, and renal glucose production were measured before and 4 h after dapagliflozin (DAPA) and placebo administration. Following DAPA, EGP increased in both T2D and NGT from baseline to 240 min, while there was a significant time-related decrease after placebo in T2D. Renal glucose production at baseline was <5% of basal EGP in both groups and did not change significantly following DAPA in NGT or T2D. Renal glucose uptake (sum of tissue glucose uptake plus glucosuria) increased in both T2D and NGT following DAPA (P < 0.05 vs. placebo). The increase in renal glucose uptake was entirely explained by the increase in glucosuria. A single dose of DAPA significantly increased EGP, which primarily is explained by an increase in hepatic glucose production, establishing the existence of a novel renal-hepatic axis.

Comparative effectiveness of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors on liver function in patients with type 2 diabetes in Japan: A real-world data analysis. Diabetes Obes Metab 2024; 26:997-1007. [PMID: 38086547 DOI: 10.1111/dom.15399] [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: 07/28/2023] [Revised: 11/01/2023] [Accepted: 11/17/2023] [Indexed: 12/28/2023]
Abstract
AIM To compare the effects of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) versus dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4is) on liver function in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Japan. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a Japanese retrospective cohort study using the RWD Database (1 January 2015 to 24 September 2021). Patients newly treated with an SGLT2i or a DPP4i were matched 1:4 (SGLT2i:DPP4i) using propensity score. The primary endpoint was the change from baseline to 1 year after the index date in alanine aminotransferase (ALT). Secondary endpoints included change from baseline in various laboratory test results, including the Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index, aspartate aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), albumin and HbA1c. Endpoints were compared between treatment groups using Welch's t-test in the full population and in subgroups stratified by baseline characteristics. RESULTS Baseline characteristics of 955 and 3063 matched patients newly treated with an SGLT2i and a DPP4i, respectively, were well balanced. Patients receiving an SGLT2i had significantly greater reductions in ALT, FIB-4 index and GGT and a significantly greater increase in albumin than patients receiving a DPP4i. A significantly greater change from baseline in ALT was observed in the SGLT2i group than in the DPP4i group among subgroups with lower baseline FIB-4 index and HbA1c. CONCLUSIONS In this study, improvements in various measures, including ALT, the FIB-4 index, GGT and albumin, were observed with SGLT2is compared with DPP4is, suggesting that SGLT2is may provide hepatoprotective benefits, including the prevention of liver fibrosis, in patients with T2D in Japan.

Empagliflozin Normalizes Fasting Hyperglycemia and Improves Postprandial Glucose Tolerance in Totally Pancreatectomized Patients: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Crossover Study. Diabetes Care 2024; 47:71-80. [PMID: 37703527 DOI: 10.2337/dc23-0645] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2023] [Accepted: 08/20/2023] [Indexed: 09/15/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Insulin remains the only glucose-lowering treatment modality recommended for totally pancreatectomized patients. We investigated the effects of the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor empagliflozin on fasting and postprandial glucose concentrations in pancreatectomized patients and matched healthy control participants. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study, 10 pancreatectomized patients and 10 matched control participants underwent two 3-h liquid mixed meal tests preceded by two doses of 25 mg empagliflozin (administered the night before and in the morning of the meal test) or placebo, respectively. Basal insulin was administered as usual, but bolus insulin was omitted before the meal test during experimental days. RESULTS Compared with placebo, empagliflozin lowered fasting plasma glucose (5.0 ± 0.4 vs. 7.9 ± 0.9 mmol/L [mean ± SEM], P = 0.007) and postprandial plasma glucose excursions as assessed by baseline-subtracted area under the curve (1,080 [733; 1,231] vs. 1,169 [1,036; 1,417] pmol/L × min [median (25th and 75th percentiles)], P = 0.014) in the pancreatectomized patients. In the control participants, empagliflozin lowered fasting plasma glucose compared with placebo (5.1 ± 0.1 vs. 5.5 ± 0.1 mmol/L, P = 0.008) without affecting postprandial glucose excursions significantly. The pancreatomy group exhibited greater postprandial glucagon excursions compared with the control group on both experimental days (P ≤ 0.015); no within-group differences between days were observed. CONCLUSIONS Empagliflozin administered the day before and immediately before a standardized liquid mixed meal test normalized fasting hyperglycemia and improved postprandial glucose tolerance in pancreatectomized patients.

Abstract
CONTEXT Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a leading causes of liver-related morbidity and mortality. While data on acromegaly, a state of chronic growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) excess, suggest an inverse relationship with intrahepatic lipid (IHL) content, less is known about the impact of the GH/IGF-I axis on IHL, lipid composition, and phosphor metabolites in individuals without disorders of GH secretion. OBJECTIVE The aim was to investigate the relation between activity of the GH/IGF-I axis and IHL content and phosphor metabolism. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study in 59 otherwise metabolically healthy individuals (30 females), of which 16 met the criteria of NAFLD with IHL of ≥5.6%. The GH/IGF-I axis was evaluated in a fasting state and during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Insulin sensitivity was estimated by validated indices. IHL, lipid composition (unsaturation index), and phosphate metabolites were analyzed by using 1H/31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy. RESULTS In the overall cohort (40.6 ± 15 years; body mass index: 24.5 ± 3 kg/m2; IGF-I: 68.0 ± 17% upper limit of normal), fasting GH (R = -0.31; P = .02), GH during oral glucose tolerance test (R = -0.51; P < .01), and IGF-I (R = -0.28; P = .03) inversely correlated with IHL. GH levels during OGTT were significantly lower in NAFLD than in controls (47.7 [22; 143] ng/mL/min vs 16.8 [7; 32] ng/mL/min; P = .003). GH/IGF-I axis activity correlated with lipid composition and with phosphor metabolites. In multiple regression analysis, the GH/IGF-I axis activity was a strong predictor for IHL and lipid composition independent from insulin sensitivity. CONCLUSION GH/IGF-I axis activity impacts hepatic lipid and phosphate metabolism in individuals without disorders in GH secretion. Lower GH axis activity is associated with higher IHL and an unfavorable lipid composition, probably mediated by changes in hepatic energy metabolism.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce heart failure events by direct action on the failing heart that is independent of changes in renal tubular function. In the failing heart, nutrient transport into cardiomyocytes is increased, but nutrient utilization is impaired, leading to deficient ATP production and the cytosolic accumulation of deleterious glucose and lipid by-products. These by-products trigger downregulation of cytoprotective nutrient-deprivation pathways, thereby promoting cellular stress and undermining cellular survival. SGLT2 inhibitors restore cellular homeostasis through three complementary mechanisms: they might bind directly to nutrient-deprivation and nutrient-surplus sensors to promote their cytoprotective actions; they can increase the synthesis of ATP by promoting mitochondrial health (mediated by increasing autophagic flux) and potentially by alleviating the cytosolic deficiency in ferrous iron; and they might directly inhibit glucose transporter type 1, thereby diminishing the cytosolic accumulation of toxic metabolic by-products and promoting the oxidation of long-chain fatty acids. The increase in autophagic flux mediated by SGLT2 inhibitors also promotes the clearance of harmful glucose and lipid by-products and the disposal of dysfunctional mitochondria, allowing for mitochondrial renewal through mitochondrial biogenesis. This Review describes the orchestrated interplay between nutrient transport and metabolism and nutrient-deprivation and nutrient-surplus signalling, to explain how SGLT2 inhibitors reverse the profound nutrient, metabolic and cellular abnormalities observed in heart failure, thereby restoring the myocardium to a healthy molecular and cellular phenotype.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) treatment in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients results in glucosuria, causing an energy loss, and triggers beneficial metabolic adaptations. It is so far unknown if SGLT2i exerts beneficial metabolic effects in prediabetic insulin resistant individuals, yet this is of interest since SGLT2is also reduce the risk for progression of heart failure and chronic kidney disease in patients without diabetes. METHODS Fourteen prediabetic insulin resistant individuals (BMI: 30.3 ± 2.1 kg/m2; age: 66.3 ± 6.2 years) underwent 2-weeks of treatment with dapagliflozin (10 mg/day) or placebo in a randomized, placebo-controlled, cross-over design. Outcome parameters include 24-hour and nocturnal substrate oxidation, and twenty-four-hour blood substrate and insulin levels. Hepatic glycogen and lipid content/composition were measured by MRS. Muscle biopsies were taken to measure mitochondrial oxidative capacity and glycogen and lipid content. RESULTS Dapagliflozin treatment resulted in a urinary glucose excretion of 36 g/24-h, leading to a negative energy and fat balance. Dapagliflozin treatment resulted in a higher 24-hour and nocturnal fat oxidation (p = 0.043 and p = 0.039, respectively), and a lower 24-hour carbohydrate oxidation (p = 0.048). Twenty-four-hour plasma glucose levels were lower (AUC; p = 0.016), while 24-hour free fatty acids and nocturnal β-hydroxybutyrate levels were higher (AUC; p = 0.002 and p = 0.012, respectively) after dapagliflozin compared to placebo. Maximal mitochondrial oxidative capacity was higher after dapagliflozin treatment (dapagliflozin: 87.6 ± 5.4, placebo: 78.1 ± 5.5 pmol/mg/s, p = 0.007). Hepatic glycogen and lipid content were not significantly changed by dapagliflozin compared to placebo. However, muscle glycogen levels were numerically higher in the afternoon in individuals on placebo (morning: 332.9 ± 27.9, afternoon: 368.8 ± 13.1 nmol/mg), while numerically lower in the afternoon on dapagliflozin treatment (morning: 371.7 ± 22.8, afternoon: 340.5 ± 24.3 nmol/mg). CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Dapagliflozin treatment of prediabetic insulin resistant individuals for 14 days resulted in significant metabolic adaptations in whole-body and skeletal muscle substrate metabolism despite being weight neutral. Dapagliflozin improved fat oxidation and ex vivo skeletal muscle mitochondrial oxidative capacity, mimicking the effects of calorie restriction. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03721874.

Abstract
The liver plays an important role in whole-body glucose homeostasis by taking up glucose from and releasing glucose into the blood circulation. In the postprandial state, excess glucose in the blood circulation is stored in hepatocytes as glycogen. In the postabsorptive state, the liver produces glucose by breaking down glycogen and from noncarbohydrate precursors such as lactate. In metabolic diseases such as diabetes, these processes are dysregulated, resulting in abnormal blood glucose levels. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) are noninvasive techniques that give unique insight into different aspects of glucose metabolism, such as glycogenesis, glycogenolysis, and gluconeogenesis, in the liver in vivo. Using these techniques, liver glucose metabolism has been studied in regard to a variety of interventions, such as fasting, meal intake, and exercise. Moreover, deviations from normal hepatic glucose metabolism have been investigated in both patients with type 1 and 2 diabetes, as well as the effects of antidiabetic medications. This review provides an overview of current MR techniques to measure hepatic glucose metabolism and the insights obtained by the application of these techniques in the healthy and diabetic liver.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are a newly developed class of highly effective antidiabetic therapies that normalize hyperglycemia via urinary glucose excretion. However, they may be accompanied by certain side effects that negatively impact their therapeutic benefits. SGLT2is induce a metabolic shift from glucose to fatty acids and thus increase lipolysis which, in turn, induces ketogenesis. The complete pathways linking SGLT2is to ketoacidosis have not yet been fully elucidated, though much is now known. Therefore, in this mechanistic study, we present the current knowledge and shed light upon the possible cellular pathways involved. A deeper understanding of the possible links between SGLT2is and ketogenesis could help to prevent adverse side effects in diabetic patients treated with these drugs.

Packer M. How can sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors stimulate erythrocytosis in patients who are iron-deficient? Implications for understanding iron homeostasis in heart failure. Eur J Heart Fail 2022; 24:2287-2296. [PMID: 36377108 PMCID: PMC10100235 DOI: 10.1002/ejhf.2731] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2022] [Revised: 11/02/2022] [Accepted: 11/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Many patients with heart failure have an iron-deficient state, which can limit erythropoiesis in erythroid precursors and ATP production in cardiomyocytes. Yet, treatment with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors produces consistent increases in haemoglobin and haematocrit, even in patients who are iron-deficient before treatment, and this effect remains unattenuated throughout treatment even though SGLT2 inhibitors further aggravate biomarkers of iron deficiency. Heart failure is often accompanied by systemic inflammation, which activates hepcidin, thus impairing the duodenal absorption of iron and the release of iron from macrophages and hepatocytes, leading to a decline in circulating iron. Inflammation and oxidative stress also promote the synthesis of ferritin and suppress ferritinophagy, thus impairing the release of intracellular iron stores and leading to the depletion of bioreactive cytosolic Fe2+ . By alleviating inflammation and oxidative stress, SGLT2 inhibitors down-regulate hepcidin, upregulate transferrin receptor protein 1 and reduce ferritin; the net result is to increase the levels of cytosolic Fe2+ available to mitochondria, thus enabling the synthesis of heme (in erythroid precursors) and ATP (in cardiomyocytes). The finding that SGLT2 inhibitors can induce erythrocytosis without iron supplementation suggests that the abnormalities in iron diagnostic tests in patients with mild-to-moderate heart failure are likely to be functional, rather than absolute, that is, they are related to inflammation-mediated trapping of iron by hepcidin and ferritin, which is reversed by treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors. An increase in bioreactive cytosolic Fe2+ is also likely to augment mitochondrial production of ATP in cardiomyocytes, thus retarding the progression of heart failure. These effects on iron metabolism are consistent with (i) proteomics analyses of placebo-controlled trials, which have shown that biomarkers of iron homeostasis represent the most consistent effect of SGLT2 inhibitors; and (ii) statistical mediation analyses, which have reported striking parallelism of the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors to promote erythrocytosis and reduce heart failure events.

Packer M. Critical Reanalysis of the Mechanisms Underlying the Cardiorenal Benefits of SGLT2 Inhibitors and Reaffirmation of the Nutrient Deprivation Signaling/Autophagy Hypothesis. Circulation 2022; 146:1383-1405. [PMID: 36315602 PMCID: PMC9624240 DOI: 10.1161/circulationaha.122.061732] [Citation(s) in RCA: 139] [Impact Index Per Article: 69.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2022] [Accepted: 08/10/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
SGLT2 (sodium-glucose cotransporter 2) inhibitors produce a distinctive pattern of benefits on the evolution and progression of cardiomyopathy and nephropathy, which is characterized by a reduction in oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress, restoration of mitochondrial health and enhanced mitochondrial biogenesis, a decrease in proinflammatory and profibrotic pathways, and preservation of cellular and organ integrity and viability. A substantial body of evidence indicates that this characteristic pattern of responses can be explained by the action of SGLT2 inhibitors to promote cellular housekeeping by enhancing autophagic flux, an effect that may be related to the action of these drugs to produce simultaneous upregulation of nutrient deprivation signaling and downregulation of nutrient surplus signaling, as manifested by an increase in the expression and activity of AMPK (adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase), SIRT1 (sirtuin 1), SIRT3 (sirtuin 3), SIRT6 (sirtuin 6), and PGC1-α (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1-α) and decreased activation of mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin). The distinctive pattern of cardioprotective and renoprotective effects of SGLT2 inhibitors is abolished by specific inhibition or knockdown of autophagy, AMPK, and sirtuins. In the clinical setting, the pattern of differentially increased proteins identified in proteomics analyses of blood collected in randomized trials is consistent with these findings. Clinical studies have also shown that SGLT2 inhibitors promote gluconeogenesis, ketogenesis, and erythrocytosis and reduce uricemia, the hallmarks of nutrient deprivation signaling and the principal statistical mediators of the ability of SGLT2 inhibitors to reduce the risk of heart failure and serious renal events. The action of SGLT2 inhibitors to augment autophagic flux is seen in isolated cells and tissues that do not express SGLT2 and are not exposed to changes in environmental glucose or ketones and may be related to an ability of these drugs to bind directly to sirtuins or mTOR. Changes in renal or cardiovascular physiology or metabolism cannot explain the benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors either experimentally or clinically. The direct molecular effects of SGLT2 inhibitors in isolated cells are consistent with the concept that SGLT2 acts as a nutrient surplus sensor, and thus, its inhibition causes enhanced nutrient deprivation signaling and its attendant cytoprotective effects, which can be abolished by specific inhibition or knockdown of AMPK, sirtuins, and autophagic flux.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, initially developed as a novel class of anti-hyperglycaemic drugs, have been shown to significantly improve metabolic indicators and protect the kidneys and heart of patients with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus. The possible mechanisms mediating these unexpected cardiorenal benefits are being extensively investigated because they cannot solely be attributed to improvements in glycaemic control. Notably, emerging data indicate that metabolic reprogramming is involved in the progression of cardiorenal metabolic diseases. SGLT2 inhibitors reprogram systemic metabolism to a fasting-like metabolic paradigm, involving the metabolic switch from carbohydrates to other energetic substrates and regulation of the related nutrient-sensing pathways, which might explain some of their cardiorenal protective effects. In this review, we will focus on the current understanding of cardiorenal protection by SGLT2 inhibitors, specifically its relevance to metabolic reprogramming.

Cardioprotection by selective SGLT-2 inhibitors in a non-diabetic mouse model of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury: a class or a drug effect? Basic Res Cardiol 2022; 117:27.

Abstract
Major clinical trials with sodium glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) exhibit protective effects against heart failure events, whereas inconsistencies regarding the cardiovascular death outcomes are observed. Therefore, we aimed to compare the selective SGLT-2i empagliflozin (EMPA), dapagliflozin (DAPA) and ertugliflozin (ERTU) in terms of infarct size (IS) reduction and to reveal the cardioprotective mechanism in healthy non-diabetic mice. C57BL/6 mice randomly received vehicle, EMPA (10 mg/kg/day) and DAPA or ERTU orally at the stoichiometrically equivalent dose (SED) for 7 days. 24 h-glucose urinary excretion was determined to verify SGLT-2 inhibition. IS of the region at risk was measured after 30 min ischemia (I), and 120 min reperfusion (R). In a second series, the ischemic myocardium was collected (10th min of R) for shotgun proteomics and evaluation of the cardioprotective signaling. In a third series, we evaluated the oxidative phosphorylation capacity (OXPHOS) and the mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation capacity by measuring the respiratory rates. Finally, Stattic, the STAT-3 inhibitor and wortmannin were administered in both EMPA and DAPA groups to establish causal relationships in the mechanism of protection. EMPA, DAPA and ERTU at the SED led to similar SGLT-2 inhibition as inferred by the significant increase in glucose excretion. EMPA and DAPA but not ERTU reduced IS. EMPA preserved mitochondrial functionality in complex I&II linked oxidative phosphorylation. EMPA and DAPA treatment led to NF-kB, RISK, STAT-3 activation and the downstream apoptosis reduction coinciding with IS reduction. Stattic and wortmannin attenuated the cardioprotection afforded by EMPA and DAPA. Among several upstream mediators, fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) and caveolin-3 were increased by EMPA and DAPA treatment. ERTU reduced IS only when given at the double dose of the SED (20 mg/kg/day). Short-term EMPA and DAPA, but not ERTU administration at the SED reduce IS in healthy non-diabetic mice. Cardioprotection is not correlated to SGLT-2 inhibition, is STAT-3 and PI3K dependent and associated with increased FGF-2 and Cav-3 expression.

Abstract
Gluconeogenesis (GNG), the formation of glucose from noncarbohydrate precursors, requires adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Previous studies have estimated the energetic cost of GNG in humans based on theoretical calculations of rates of GNG, moles of oxygen consumption by GNG, and average oxygen consumption. Few human studies have measured the energy expenditure (EE) due to GNG. We estimated EE attributable to GNG in patients with three insulin resistance conditions and high GNG rates (insulin receptor pathogenic variants, lipodystrophy, and type 2 diabetes) and obesity without diabetes. Fractional GNG was measured by incorporation of deuterium from body water into newly formed glucose, endogenous glucose production (EGP) as glucose appearance following administration of [6,6-2H2]glucose, and total GNG as fractional GNG × EGP. EE was measured by indirect calorimetry and compared with predicted EE from the Mifflin St. Jeor equation. EE attributable to GNG was estimated using linear regression after accounting for age and fat-free mass (FFM). EE in patients with insulin resistance was significantly higher than predicted by the Mifflin St. Jeor equation. GNG correlated with resting EE (REE). EE attributable to GNG in patients with insulin resistance was almost one-third of REE, substantially higher than theorized in healthy subjects. Our findings demonstrate that GNG is a significant contributor to EE in insulin-resistant states. Prediction equations may underestimate caloric needs in patients with insulin resistance. Therefore, targeting caloric needs to account for higher EE due to increased GNG should be considered in energy balance studies in patients with insulin resistance.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Gluconeogenesis is an energy-requiring process that is upregulated in diabetes, contributing to hyperglycemia. Previous studies have estimated that gluconeogenesis accounts for less than 10% of resting energy expenditure. This study estimates the energy expenditure attributable to gluconeogenesis in uncommon and severe forms of insulin resistance and common, milder forms of insulin resistance. In these populations, gluconeogenesis accounts for almost one-third of resting energy expenditure, substantially higher than previously theorized in the literature.
