Sodium-glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors: The Pleiotropic Mechanisms of Actions

Abstract: The underlying mechanisms responsible for the SGLT-2 inhibitor actions, are pleiotropic and occur in the kidneys, as well as in other target organs. The comprehension of these mechanisms, not only permits us to understand their actions better, but it could also help us to predict more of their undisclosed favorable actions, as well as their rare adverse effects.

“…The mechanisms that contribute to the beneficial effects of SGLT2i and GLP-1RAs in patients with T2DM have been extensively studied. ( Figure 5 ) Briefly, SGLT2i inhibits the SGLT receptors in the proximal tubule, which inhibits the reabsorption of glucose from primary urine, resulting in glycosuria and a decrease in HbA1c and fasting glucose levels ( 29 ). The hypoglycemic effects of SGLT2i do not rely on insulin secretion, which minimizes the risk of hypoglycemia.…”

“…Furthermore, the relative risk for CV events in patients with DM is two to four times higher than that in patients without DM [ 3 ]. Sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT) 2 inhibitors are widely used anti-diabetic drugs that increase urinary glucose excretion [ 4 ]. In addition to their hypoglycemic effects, SGLT2 inhibitors have cardioprotective effects although the underlying mechanism is unclear.…”
