How does Dapagliflozin work? Understanding SGLT2 inhibitors.

The video contains a simple and visual explanation of how ‎Canagliflozin ‎Empagliflozin and Dapagliflozin, SGLT2 inhibitors, work to get the kidneys to excrete glucose into the urine. We cover some basics about how the nephron works and look in detail at the action of SGLT2 inhibitors on the sodium-glucose transport protein 2 (SGLT2) in the proximal tubule. We also talk about the indications and adverse effects.

    I was prescribed Dapagliflozin along with several other medications to treat heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (25% to 35%). The combination of drugs I take really has had a very marked improvement in my health. I am 78, male. I have been Type II diabetic for over 10 years, but it was diet controlled throughout. I never needed any medication. I was declared to be in remission about three years ago. I also strove to lose a lot of weight by accurately counting calories of everything I consumed. My weight went from 82kg to currently 64kg in ten years. I am 1.56m tall.

  • @ZeroToFinals

    @ZeroToFinals

    4 жыл бұрын

    I have not read into this, however I wonder if it is because the low glucose levels caused by glucose loss in the urine results in less insulin being produced by the pancreas. (Insulin is released in response to high blood glucose levels). Without insulin, cells cannot recognise and take in glucose so ketones are produced. The patient does not become hyperglycaemic due to the SGLT2 inhibitors causing glucose loss in the urine, so they have a normoglycaemic ketoacidosis. Correct me if I am wrong.

  • @ZeroToFinals

    I think the answer to your question is that there is only so much glucose that the kidneys will excrete. DKA is also related to the cells in the body not being able to recognise glucose due to the lack of insulin, not only the excess glucose level. I have a video on diabetic ketoacidosis - it is a bit old and not as slick but may still be helpful and I think it will help understand how this happens.

    Hi. Isn’t it true that SGLT2 is overly expressed in diabetics - meaning that a higher glucose concentration is needed (~ 13.5 mmol) before it is excreted in the urine, as opposed to the 10 mmol in ‘normals’. And that SGLT2 inhibitors reduced the level (above which glucose excretion begins) to ~ 5.6 mmol ?

    You are right, once blood glucose level gets above a certain threshold then glucose is excreted in the urine, however SGLT2 still acts to cause reabsorption of some of a proportion of that glucose, so adding an SGLT2 inhibitor can still be helpful in increasing the glucose excretion in the urine.
