Dapagliflozin promotes white adipose tissue browning though regulating angiogenesis in high fat induced obese mice.

ABSTRACT: Browning of white adipose tissue (WAT) is become an appealing target for therapeutics in the treatment of obesity and related metabolic diseases. Dapagliflozin is widely used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, and it is also found that the drug exhibits regulate systemic metabolism such as obesity, insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis. However, the precise role of dapagliflozin on WAT remodeling remains to be elucidated. The current study aimed to explore the role of dapagliflozin on WAT browning in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice. Male C57BL/6J mice (n = 6 per group) were used to establish obesity model by following feeding with HFD for 6 weeks. The mice were randomly treated with or without dapagliflozin for the experimental observation. The volume and fat fraction of WAT we
