A mechanistic randomized trial found empagliflozin reduced total-body norepinephrine turnover at 1 day and 12 weeks even as hepatic glucose production rose, with the two changes inversely correlated. PICO summary and expert commentary.
A 52-week trial finds semaglutide shifts lipoprotein subfractions toward a less atherogenic profile in type 2 diabetes, independent of weight or glucose change. PICO summary and commentary.
A phase IV randomized trial in 90 adults with type 2 diabetes found dapagliflozin plus exenatide augmented beta-cell function and insulin sensitivity above either agent alone, on surrogate OGTT measures. PICO summary and expert commentary.
A randomised trial finds dapagliflozin reduces myocardial fibrosis and improves cardiac structure in diabetic HFpEF. PICO summary and expert commentary.
An EXSCEL mediation analysis finds conventional risk-factor changes explain only part of exenatide’s cardiovascular benefit and do not mediate its mortality effect. PICO summary and commentary.
A post-hoc analysis finds exenatide does not change inflammatory or metabolic biomarkers in alcohol use disorder, despite raised baseline inflammation. PICO summary and commentary.
