Sodium–glucose co-transporter inhibitors (SGLT2i) have recently gained a lot of emphasis in their role preventing progression chronic kidney disease and helping with cardiac mortality. Various studies proven the benefit these medications management patients heart disease. SGLT2i exert effect proximal convoluted tubule various downstream effects noted also. With spreading use medications, it is ...

INTRODUCTION Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors exhibit diuretic activity, which is a possible mechanism underlying the cardiovascular benefit of these inhibitors. However, the osmotic diuresis-induced increase in urine volume, and the risk of dehydration have been of concern with SGLT2 inhibitor treatment. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism underlying SGLT2 inhibitor...

Everything in the world of diabetes is moving fast these days. Over the last few months, we have received extensive new information regarding the burden of diabetes and suggested changes in treatment strategies. Specifically, in the December 2014 issue of Diabetes Care, we reported startling new statistics about the rising costs associated with diabetes and prediabetes (1). The economic burden ...

OBJECTIVE—Although initially effective, sulfonylureas are associated with poor glycemic durability, weight gain, and hypoglycemia. Dapagliflozin, a selective inhibitor of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2), reduces hyperglycemia by increasing urinary glucose excretion independent of insulin andmay cause fewer of these adverse effects.We compared the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of dap...

Glucose is a major metabolic substrate required for cancer cell survival and growth. It is mainly imported into cells by facilitated glucose transporters (GLUTs). Here we demonstrate the importance of another glucose import system, the sodium-dependent glucose transporters (SGLTs), in pancreatic and prostate adenocarcinomas, and investigate their role in cancer cell survival. Three experimental...

Obesity and obesity related kidney and liver disease have become more prevalent over the past few decades, especially in the western world. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a new class of antidiabetic agents with promising effects on cardiovascular and renal function. Given SGLT2 inhibitors exert both anti-diabetic and anti-obesity effects by promoting urinary excretion of ...

T2DM individuals manifest a 2-3 times greater risk of CV events compared to non-diabetics, and CV mortality is responsible for ~70% of total mortality. In T2DM patients without MI, risk of CV death is similar to individuals without diabetes with prior MI.1 Although hyperglycemia is a strong risk factor for microvascular complications, it is a weak risk factor for CV disease (CVD), and intervent...
