To gain insight into the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy, we investigated cardiac function in terms of the coupling of left ventricular mechanical work and the energetics in Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty rats, which are well known as a model of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Neither left ventricular systolic function and mean coronary flow nor coronary flow reserve differed even in late DM rats. The amount of oxygen required for mechanical work and contraction was unaltered, although myosin isozyme was finally transformed from V1 to V3. The maximum pacing rate was decreased from 300 to 240 beats/min, and the left ventricular relaxation rate was significantly ( P < 0.05) slower only in late DM rats, resulting in decreased oxygen consumption per minute for total Ca2+ handling in excitation-contraction coupling mainly consumed by sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA2) without significant changes in basal metabolism or in mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. The protein level of SERCA2 in membranes was significantly ( P < 0.001) lower in severe DM rats. We conclude that the only lusitropic dysfunction due to the depressed expression of SERCA2 is related to generating diabetic cardiomyopathy even in the present type 2 diabetic rats.

Aims To evaluate the effect of linagliptin on left ventricular systolic function beyond glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods and results A multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel-group study, was performed (the DYDA 2 trial). Individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus and asymptomatic impaired left ventricular systolic function were randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to receive for 48 weeks either linagliptin 5 mg daily or placebo, in addition to their diabetes therapy. Eligibility criteria were age 40 years and older, haemoglobin A1c 8.0% or less (≤64 mmol/mol), no history of cardiac disease, concentric left ventricular geometry (relative wall thickness ≥0.42), impaired left ventricular systolic function defined as midwall fractional shortening 15% or less at baseline echocardiography. The primary end point was the modification of midwall fractional shortening over time. The main secondary objectives were changes in diastolic and/or in longitudinal left ventricular systolic function as measured by tissue Doppler echocardiography. One hundred and eighty-eight patients were enrolled, predominantly men with typical insulin-resistance comorbidities. At baseline, mean midwall fractional shortening was 13.3%±2.5. At final evaluation, 88 linagliptin patients and 86 placebo patients were compared: midwall fractional shortening increased from 13.29 to 13.82 (+4.1%) in the linagliptin group, from 13.58 to 13.84 in the placebo group (+1.8%, analysis of covariance P = 0.86), corresponding to a 2.3-fold higher increase in linagliptin than the placebo group, although non-statistically significant. Also, changes in diastolic and longitudinal left ventricular systolic function did not differ between the groups. Serious adverse events or linagliptin/placebo permanent discontinuation occurred in very few cases and in the same percentage between the groups. Conclusions In the DYDA 2 patients the addition of linagliptin to stable diabetes therapy was safe and provided a modest non-significant increase in left ventricular systolic function measured as midwall fractional shortening.

IntroductionEpidemiological and genetic studies have recorded the association between proinflammatory cytokines and the development of insulin resistance, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. The role of interleukin 6 (IL-6), NH2-terminal portion pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and resistin in the pathogenesis of heart disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is still a matter of controversy. The current study aimed to evaluate the role of these biomarkers in the development of left ventricular systolic dysfunction and the ability to use them as non-invasive test in the prediction of left ventricular hypertrophy and systolic dysfunction in T2DM.Research design and methods150 participants were included in this case–control study. Patients were divided into two subgroups according to echocardiographic findings: group 1a included 46 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and echocardiographic evidence of abnormal systolic function; group 1b included 54 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and with normal echocardiogenic study; and group 2 included 50 apparently healthy controls. Routine laboratory investigations such as complete blood count, liver and renal function tests, and lipid profile, serum IL-6, NT-proBNP, and resistin were measured in all participants. Conventional echocardiography was done with special concern on the assessment of left ventricular systolic function (ejection fraction).ResultsThere was a significant increase in the level of resistin, NT-proBNP and IL-6 in group 1a patients compared with group 1b and in healthy controls. Echocardiographic parameters showed a significant increase in left ventricular mass index, left ventricle posterior wall thickness, interventricular septum thickness, and left ventricle mass in group 1a compared with group 1b and the control group. The increased left ventricular mass index was associated with higher levels of IL-6, NT-proBNP and resistin.ConclusionsProinflammatory cytokines had a clear relation with left ventricular systolic dysfunction and hypertrophy and can be used as early non-invasive markers for detection of left ventricular remodeling and systolic dysfunction in patients with T2DM.

: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is one of the most common forms of the disease worldwide. Hyperglycemia and insulin resistance play key roles in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Renal glucose reabsorption is an essential feature in glycaemic control. Kidneys filter 160 g of glucose daily in healthy subjects under euglycaemic conditions. The expanding epidemic of diabetes leads to a prevalence of diabetes-related cardiovascular disorders, in particular, heart failure and renal dysfunction. Cellular glucose uptake is a fundamental process for homeostasis, growth, and metabolism. In humans, three families of glucose transporters have been identified, including the glucose facilitators GLUTs, the sodium-glucose cotransporter SGLTs, and the recently identified SWEETs. Structures of the major isoforms of all three families were studied. Sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT2) provides most of the capacity for renal glucose reabsorption in the early proximal tubule. A number of cardiovascular outcome trials in patients with type 2 diabetes have been studied with SGLT2 inhibitors reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. : The current review article summarises these aspects and discusses possible mechanisms with SGLT2 inhibitors in protecting heart failure and renal dysfunction in diabetic patients. Through glucosuria, SGLT2 inhibitors reduce body weight and body fat, and shift substrate utilisation from carbohydrates to lipids and, possibly, ketone bodies. These pleiotropic effects of SGLT2 inhibitors are likely to have contributed to the results of the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial in which the SGLT2 inhibitor, empagliflozin, slowed down the progression of chronic kidney disease and reduced major adverse cardiovascular events in high-risk individuals with type 2 diabetes. This review discusses the role of SGLT2 in the physiology and pathophysiology of renal glucose reabsorption and outlines the unexpected logic of inhibiting SGLT2 in the diabetic kidney.

Background: Although sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2-Is) improve not only glycemic control but also liver inflammation and fatty changes in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), its sustainability and effect on liver fibrosis have remained unclear. The current study aimed to clarify the effects of 48-week SGLT2-I therapy on liver inflammation, fatty changes, and fibrosis in NAFLD patients with T2DM. Methods: This study evaluated the effects of SGLT2-I on NAFLD, including liver fibrosis assessed via transient elastography, in 56 patients with NAFLD who received SGLT2-I for 48 weeks. Moreover, changes in each clinical parameter between patients receiving SGLT2-I (the SGLT2-I group) and those receiving other oral hypoglycemic agents (OHAs) (the non-SGLT2-I group) were compared, using 1:1 propensity score matching to adjust for baseline factors. Results: The SGLT2-I group exhibited a significant decrease in controlled attenuation parameter (312 dB/m at baseline to 280 dB/m at week 48) and liver stiffness measurement (9.1–6.7 kPa) ( p < 0.001 for both). After propensity score matching (44 patients each in the SGLT2-I and non-SGLT2-I groups), no significant difference in HbA1c decrease was observed between the two groups. However, compared with the non-SGLT2-I group, the SGLT2-I group showed a significant decrease in body weight ( p < 0.001), alanine aminotransferase ( p = 0.02), uric acid ( p < 0.001), and Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index ( p = 0.01) at week 48. The improvement in FIB-4 index, defined as a ⩾10% decline from baseline at week 48, was 56.8% (25/44) in the SGLT2-I group and 20.5% (9/44) in the non-SGLT2-I group ( p < 0.001). Conclusion: SGLT2-Is improved not only glycemic control but also liver fatty infiltration and fibrosis in patients with NAFLD and T2DM, suggesting their possible superiority to other OHAs concerning these effects.
