Empagliflozin attenuates cardiac microvascular ischemia/reperfusion through activating the AMPKα1/ULK1/FUNDC1/mitophagy pathway

Redox Biology, 2022
Mitophagy preserves microvascular structure and function during myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Empagliflozin, an anti-diabetes drug, may also protect mitochondria.

Empagliflozin rescues diabetic myocardial microvascular injury via AMPK-mediated inhibition of mitochondrial fission

Redox Biology, 2018
Impaired cardiac microvascular function contributes to diabetic cardiovascular complications although effective therapy remains elusive. Empagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor recently approved for treatment of type 2 diabetes,

Empagliflozin Inhibits Hepatic Gluconeogenesis and Increases Glycogen Synthesis by AMPK/CREB/GSK3β Signalling Pathway

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Increases in glucose production and decreases in hepatic glycogen storage induce glucose metabolic abnormalities in type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Empagliflozin, a sodium-dependent glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, is an effective hypoglycemic drug ...

Empagliflozin alleviates atherosclerotic calcification by inhibiting osteogenic differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2023
SGLT-2 inhibitors, such as empagliflozin, have been shown to reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular events and delay the progression of atherosclerosis. However, its role in atherosclerotic calcification remains unclear.

Empagliflozin activates Wnt/β-catenin to stimulate FUNDC1-dependent mitochondrial quality surveillance against type-3 cardiorenal syndrome

Molecular Metabolism, 2022
Objectives: Cardiorenal syndrome type-3 (CRS-3) is an abrupt worsening of cardiac function secondary to acute kidney injury. Mitochondrial dysfunction is a key pathological mechanism of CRS-3, and empagliflozin can improve mitochondrial biology by ...

A randomized clinical trial evaluating the effect of empagliflozin on triglycerides in obese adults: Role of visceral fat

Metabolism Open, 2022
Background: Empagliflozin, a sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, is a medication to treat type 2 diabetes. The effect of empagliflozin in persons without diabetes has received less attention.

Empagliflozin protects the heart against ischemia/reperfusion-induced sudden cardiac death

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2021
Background Empagliflozin is a selective sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor used to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. Empagliflozin also exerts cardioprotective effects independent from glucose control, but its benefits on ...
