Dapagliflozin pretreatment of hypoxic HK2 cells significantly improves the cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. Dapagliflozin decreases Bax expression, the Bax/Bcl2 ratio, and PARP expression in hypoxic HK2 cells.
At 11 mM glucose, dapagliflozin raises glucagon release from 18% to 32% of control, while the effect of dapagliflozin addition is minor at 1 mM glucose. At the intermediate glucose concentration of 6 mM, glucagon secretion is estimated to be 24% and 30% of control in the absence or presence of dapagliflozin, respectively[1]. Dapagliflozin pretreatment significantly reduces the number of TUNEL-positive cells in IR-injured kidneys. Dapagliflozin pretreatment significantly elevates the HIF1 expression in IR-injured renal tubular cells from mice[2]. Dapagliflozin (10 mg/kg, o.p.) causes a marked increase in urinary glucose in SGLT2i-mice. Dapagliflozin acutely suppresses BAT thermogenesis by reducing sympathetic nerve activity. Dapagliflozin enhances hepatic gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis.
