Combination of Linagliptin and Empagliflozin Preserves Cardiac Systolic Function in an Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Mice With Diabetes Mellitus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) and dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor (DPP4i) are oral hypoglycemic agents. Although SGLT2i has been shown having the beneficial effects on heart failure in basic and clinical studies, the combined effects of SGLT2i and DPP4i have not been established well. We investigated the effects of SGLT2i and DPP4i against diabetes mice model of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Methods

Streptozotocin-induced diabetic C57BL/6J mice were divided into control (vehicle), empagliflozin (30 mg/kg/day), linagliptin (3 mg/kg/day) and combination (30 mg/kg/day and 3 mg/kg/day, respectively) groups. After 7 days of drug administration, 30 min of myocardial ischemia was performed. We investigated body weight, heart weight, blood
