Background: As a novel oral anti-hyperglycemic agent, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2-i) have been demonstrated to improve cardiovascular outcomes in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the mechanism responsible for the beneficial effects remains unclear. Recently, extensive studies have demonstrated a close relationship between elevated fasting triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and the risk of AMI.

Background: Inflammation plays a significant role in the development and progression of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Empagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, has shown some anti-inflammatory effects in patients with T2D. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of empagliflozin on some inflammatory markers in T2D.

Introduction: Sodium Glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) possess pleiotropic effects, such as antioxidant, antifibrotic, anti-inflammatory, and vascular remodeling activities. Considering the lack of literature, a network meta-analysis was conducted to explore the impact of SGLT2is on endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffness in the diabetic population.
Methods: Electronic databases were searched to identify randomized clinical trials evaluating the effects of SGLT2is on outcomes, such as Flow-mediated Vasodilation (FMV), Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV), and Augmentation Index (AIx).

Introduction: In the present study, we evaluated the impact of empagliflozin on serum levels of oxidative stress parameters in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) who also suffer from heart failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF).
Methods: In this prospective, single-center clinical trial, 80 patients with T2DM and HFrEF, stabilized on guideline-directed heart failure therapy and classified as New York Heart Association functional (NYHA) functional classes II or III, were randomized to receive either empagliflozin (10 mg/daily) or a matching placebo for a duration of 12 weeks. Serum levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), along with the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), were measured at baseline and after the 12-week treatment period.

SGLT-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) and GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) have demonstrated nephro- and cardioprotective effects, but their neuroprotective properties, especially concerning stroke severity, and mechanisms are not unambiguous. We aimed to study the influence of SGLT-2i with different selectivity and GLP-1RA on brain damage volume and neurological status in non-diabetic and diabetic rats and to investigate the underlying mechanisms. Non-diabetic rats were divided into five groups (n = 10 each) and received empagliflozin, canagliflozin, or dulaglutide as study drugs and metformin as comparison drug.
