Antihypertensive and metabolic effects of empagliflozin in Ren-2 transgenic rats, an experimental non-diabetic model of hypertension
The new antidiabetic drugs, gliflozins, inhibit sodium-glucose transporter-2 in renal proximal tubules promoting glucose and sodium excretion. This leads not only to a significant improvement of glucose control but also to the reduction of blood pressure and body weight in both diabetic patients and...
