Glycemic level (BG), blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) were measured 2 hours after administration of the respective treatments. Immunohistochemical tests were performed to determine the effect of SGLT-2i on neural localization of SGLT-2 and c-Fos, a neural activator. The distributional relationships of SGLT-2 and c-Fos were examined by immunofluorescence.Results: Administration of SGLT-2i significantly decreased BP but did not affect the HR. There was no difference in BG between the two groups. Results showed that SGLT-2 was localized to specific regions involved in autonomic control. Expression of c-Fos was significantly higher in major critical nuclei in the aforementioned regions in groups treated with Dapagliflozin.Conclusion: This study demonstrates that SGLT-2 is expressed in CNS tissues involved in autonomic control and possibly influence cardiovascular function. Dapagliflozin influences central autonomic activity via unidentified pathways by inhibiting central or peripheral SGLT-2. These results provide a new concept that sympathetic inhibition by SGLT-2i can be mediated by central autonomic system, a mechanism that explains how SGLT-2i improves the cardiovascular function.Keywords: sodium glucose co-transporter-2, dapagliflozin, c-Fos, cardiovascular activity, brain nucleiNguyen TWen SGong MYuan XXu DWang CJin JZhou LDove Medical Pressarticlesodium glucose co-transporter-2dapagliflozinc-foscardiovascular activitybrain nucleiSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 13, Pp 2781-2799 (2020)
