Abstrakt:	Introduction: Endothelial dysfunction (ED) plays a key role in the pathogenesis of diabetic vascular complications. In monotherapy, dapagliflozin (Dapa) as well as pioglitazone (Pio) prevent the progression of target organ damage in both type 1 (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes. We investigated whether the simultaneous PPAR-γ activation and SGLT2 cotransporter inhibition significantly alleviate ED-related pathological processes and thus normalize vascular response in experimental T1DM. Methods: Experimental diabetes was induced by streptozotocin (STZ; 55 mg/kg, i.p.) in Wistar rats. Dapa (10 mg/kg), Pio (12 mg/kg), or their combination were administrated to the STZ rats orally. Six weeks after STZ administration, the aorta was excised for functional studies and real-time qPCR analysis. Results: In the aorta of diabetic rats, impaired endothelium-dependent and independent relaxation were accompanied by the imbalance between vasoactive factors (eNos, Et1) and overexpression of inflammation (Tnfα, Il1b, Il6, Icam, Vcam) and oxidative stress (Cybb) markers. Pio monotherapy normalized response to vasoactive substances and restored balance between Et1-eNos expression, while Dapa treatment was ineffective. Nevertheless, Dapa and Pio monotherapy significantly reverted inflammation and oxidative stress markers to normal values. The combination treatment exhibited an additive effect in modulating Il6 expression, reaching the effect of Pio monotherapy in other measured parameters. Conclusion: Particularly, Pio exerts a vasoprotective character when used in monotherapy. When combined with Dapa, it does not exhibit an expected additive effect within modulating vasoreactivity or oxidative stress, though having a significant influence on IL6 downregulation. (© 2023 S.
