Popis: | SGLT2 is expressed in mesangial cells and pericytes, and is upregulated byhigh glucose and ischemia. Upregulated SGLT2 in both cells might directly worsen ischemia in kidney interstitial legion, heart and brain. The overexpression of SGLT2 in these cells could induce various organ failures via damages or loss of capillaries and dysfunctions of mesangial cells, which are attenuated by SGLT2 inhibitors. |
