1962-P: Comparison of the Effects of Three SGLT2 Inhibitors on Metabolic Parameters and Insulin Sensitivity in a Nondiabetic Rat Model of Metabolic Syndrome

Studies directly comparing metabolic efficacy of various sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are scarce. To this end, we compared the effect of SGLT2i: Empagliflozin (EMP), Canagliflozin (CAN) and Dapagliflozin (DAP) on biometric, metabolic and hormonal parameters and insulin sensitivity in hereditary hypertriglyceridemic rats (hHTG) - a non-obese model of metabolic syndrome characterized by dyslipidemia, insulin resistance and increased blood pressure. Male rats, 4 months old, were fed standard diet (C) or standard diet enriched by EMP (10mg/kg b.w./day), CAN (100mg/kg b.w./day) or DAP (10mg/kg b.w./day) for 6 weeks. All SGLT2i induced glycosuria which was 8-fold higher in CAN and DAP as compared to EMP group (Mean±SD: EMP:53±6; CAN:416±4; DAP:376±32 mmol/l; P 14 C-palmitic acid oxidation decreased in the myocardium of CAN and DAP compared to C, whereas no significant effect of EMP was noted. CAN and EMP administration reduced liver glycogen content compared to C (P In conclusion, our results suggest higher efficacy of CAN compared to DAP and EMP in improving insulin sensitivity and decreasing glucose levels in a non-obese model of metabolic syndrome. The differences could be related to higher SGLT1 inhibition activity of CAN. Disclosure J. Trnovska: None. M. Huttl: None. I. Markova: None. O. Oliyarnyk: None. H. Malinska: None. D.
