Abstract
Context Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors lower blood glucose levels by promoting urinary glucose excretion, but their overall effects on hormonal and metabolic status remain unclear. Objective We here investigated the roles of insulin and glucagon in the regulation of glycemia in individuals treated with an SGLT2 inhibitor using mathematical model analysis. Methods Hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp and oral glucose tolerance tests were performed in 68 individuals with type 2 diabetes treated with the SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin. Data previously obtained from such tests in 120 subjects with various levels of glucose tolerance and not treated with an SGLT2 inhibitor were examined as a control. Mathematical models of the feedback loops connecting glucose and insulin (GI model) or glucose, insulin, and glucagon (GIG model) were generated. Results Analysis with the GI model revealed that the disposition index/clearance, which is defined as the product of insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion divided by the square of insulin clearance and represents the glucose-handling ability of insulin, was significantly correlated with glycemia in subjects not taking an SGLT2 inhibitor but not in those taking dapagliflozin. Analysis with the GIG model revealed that a metric defined as the product of glucagon sensitivity and glucagon secretion divided by glucagon clearance (designated production index/clearance) was significantly correlated with blood glucose level in subjects treated with dapagliflozin. Conclusion Treatment with an SGLT2 inhibitor alters the relation between insulin effect and blood glucose concentration, and glucagon effect may account for variation in glycemia among individuals treated with such drugs.

Mol Biol Rep 2023; 50:9637-9647. [PMID: 37819499 DOI: 10.1007/s11033-023-08836-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 10/13/2023]
Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a complex metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycaemia. T2DM is a highly heterogeneous polygenic disease. Due to genetic variation, variations in lifestyle and other environmental exposures, there are certain variations in the phenotype of T2DM patients. Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are novel hypoglycaemic agents that increase urinary glucose excretion by inhibiting glucose reabsorption in the proximal tubules of the kidney. For glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, studies have confirmed a variety of gene variants that may modify their effects. For SGLT2 inhibitors, research has focused on the SLC5A2 gene encoding SGLT2 and UGT1A9 gene polymorphisms affecting SGLT2 inhibitor metabolism. The SLC5A2 polymorphism rs9934336 have been associated with decreased HbA1c during the oral glucose tolerance test. Common variants of the SLC5A2 gene are related to blood glucose and insulin concentrations, but not glucagon concentrations. SLC5A2 rs9934336 and rs3116150 are related to a lower risk of heart failure. SGLT2 inhibitor exposure of UGT1A9*3 carriers is commonly higher than that of noncarriers, while these effects commonly have no obvious clinical significance on SGLT2 inhibitor pharmacokinetics. In terms of efficacy, general SLC5A2 variants show no significant effect on the response to the SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin. At present, research on the relationship between genetic polymorphisms and the efficacy of SGLT2 inhibitors is limited. The main purpose of this review is to elucidate the general effects of SGLT2 polymorphisms and the association between polymorphisms and the treatment response to SGLT2 inhibitors.

Abstract
AIMS Increasing attention has been paid to the potential metabolic benefits of ketone bodies, but the clinical relevance of ketone bodies in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) remains unclear. We investigated the clinical implications of ketone bodies at the time of diagnosis in patients with drug-naïve T2D. METHODS Clinical data including serum β-hydroxybutyrate (βHB) levels, were collected from 369 patients with newly diagnosed drug-naïve T2D from 2017 to 2021. Subjects were categorized into four βHB groups based on the level of initial serum βHB. The associations of initial serum βHB and urinary ketone levels with glucometabolic indices were analyzed. RESULTS Higher serum βHB group was associated with higher levels of glycemic parameters including glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) with lower levels of indices for insulin secretory function at the point of initial diagnosis of T2D. Nevertheless, higher serum βHB group was an independent determinant of a greater relative improvement in HbA1c after 6 months of anti-diabetic treatment, regardless of the type of anti-diabetic drug. In addition, patients in higher serum βHB group were more likely to have well-controlled HbA1c levels (≤6.5%) after 6 months of anti-diabetic treatment. CONCLUSION In patients with newly diagnosed T2D, a higher initial βHB level was a significant predictive marker of greater glycemic improvement after antidiabetic treatment, despite its associations with hyperglycemia and decreased insulin secretion at baseline.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Glucosuria is a representative symptom in diabetes patients with poor glycemic control and in those treated with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors. Renal threshold levels of glucose excretion are known to vary among individuals, but factors contributing to glucosuria are not well characterized. The present study aimed to clarify clinical and genetic determinants of glucosuria in individuals with diabetes mellitus. MATERIALS AND METHODS The 24-h urinary glucose excretion was measured in 135 hospitalized patients on admission, with continuous measurement for five consecutive days in 75 patients. Genetic and clinical factors contributing to glucosuria were studied. As a genetic factor, SLC5A2 polymorphism was genotyped. A total of 476 participants (266 participants with type 2 diabetes and 210 healthy controls) were additionally genotyped for the association study of SLC5A2 with type 2 diabetes. A meta-analysis was carried out with the present study and previous association studies. RESULTS Multiple regression analysis showed that the independent variables of average blood glucose (β = 0.41, P = 1.4 × 10-7 ), estimated glomerular filtration rate (β = 0.28, P = 6.0 × 10-5 ), sex (β = 0.28, P = 5.7 × 10-5 ) and SLC5A2 rs9934336 polymorphism (β = 0.17, P = 0.02) were significantly correlated with urinary glucose excretion. The frequency of the A allele of rs9934336 tended to be lower in participants with type 2 diabetes than in controls (odds ratio 0.78, 95% confidence interval 0.53-1.13, not significant), and meta-analysis showed a significant association between the A allele and type 2 diabetes (summary odds ratio for minor allele [A] 0.86, 95% confidence interval 0.78-0.94, P < 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Blood glucose, estimated glomerular filtration rate, sex and SLC5A2 polymorphism were independent determinants of glucosuria in diabetes mellitus.
