Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) in humans, enhancing cardioprotective effects on heart failure and atrial fibrillation. We investigated the direct effect of the SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin on human primary epicardial adipocytes and preadipocytes. SGLT2 is primarily expressed in human preadipocytes in the EAT. The expression levels of SGLT2 significantly diminished when the preadipocytes were terminally differentiated. Adipogenesis of pre ...[more]
