PLoS One. 2022 Feb 18;17(2):e0258054. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0258054. PMID: 35180212.Brief Summary: This mouse model of diabetes describes how early administration of sodium glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors can protect pancreatic beta-cells from glucotoxicity damage. Early use of SGLT2 inhibitors can revert/prevent beta-cell failure in mice with diabetes due to KATP channel de...

Diabetes. 2022 1;71(6):1233-1245. doi: 10.2337/db21-0992. PMID: 35294000.Brief Summary: This mouse model of diabetes tested the hypothesis that reducing the metabolic flux (rate of metabolism) in the beta cell can prevent beta-cell failure and preserve beta-cell mass. Reducing glucose metabolism may be a mechanism for preventing glucotoxicity-induced loss of functional beta-cell mass in diabetes. <...
