1. The effect of vasopressin and insulin on active sodium transport across frog skin in the presence of internal alternariol mycotoxin was studied, using the short-circuit technique. 2. Vasopressin stimulates sodium transport across frog skin by decreasing the resistance to sodium entry into the epithelial cells, thus partially removing the inhibition on the short-circuit current due to the action of Alternariol mycotoxin. 3. Even insulin which is known to increase the short-circuit current by a different mechanism, determines a rapid reversal effect on the inhibition due to Alternariol. 4. These data confirm the different action of the two hormones on active sodium transport across frog skin, and furthermore are indicative of an inhibition of transepithelial sodium transport by Alternariol mycotoxin probably via the sodium pump.

Introduction: Scientific publications have shown sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors to have several beneficial effects in patients with complex type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, sodium-glucose co-transporter-1 (SGLT-1) inhibitor is still under investigation in clinical trials. Recently, a dual inhibitor of sodium-glucose co-transporter (SGLT1/2), sotagliflozin, has been approved for use in patients with T2DM.

Recent studies suggest that empagliflozin may also reverse cardiac remodeling in heart failure by reducing N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels. In our study, we wanted to show the decrease in NT-proBNP levels, which is an indicator of poor prognosis in heart failure, and to see if there was a decrease in the rate of renal progression in patients with HF after empagliflozin use.

Introduction: In this study, a meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the therapeutic effect of Dapagliflozin (DAPA) on animals suffering from myocardial ischemia reperfusion compared to the group that did not receive treatment.
Methods: According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria two researchers performed the primary and secondary screening based on the title abstract and full text. After data extraction, meta-analysis was performed using STATA software.

Background: Sodium-glucose co-transporter two inhibitors (SGLT2is) are widely used in clinical practice due to their proven cardiovascular and renal benefits. However, various adverse drug reactions (ADRs) have been reported. This study aims to systematically update the ADRs associated with SGLT2is and identify the differences among various SGLT2is acovigilance of various SGLT-2 inhibitors.

We report a beneficial effect of a sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor in the management of insulin resistant diabetes mellitus (IRDM) in a Japanese girl with mild Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome (RMS). At 10 2/12 years of age, she was referred to us because of glucosuria, and was found to have marked acanthosis nigricans and RMS-like facial features such as proptosis, large ears, full lips, and gingival hypertrophy, but not other clinical features frequently found in RMS. At 11 9/12 years of age, her blood HbA1c level, though it remained ~ 6.
