Effect of canagliflozin treatment on hepatic triglyceride content and glucose metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes
Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the impact of the sodium glucose co‐transporter 2 inhibitor canagliflozin on intrahepatic triglyceride (IHTG) accumulation and its relationship to changes in body weight and glucose metabolism. Materials and methods: In this double‐blind, parallel‐group, placebo‐controlled, 24‐week trial subjects with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM; HbA1c = 7.7% ± 0.7%) from two centres were randomly assigned (1:1) to canagliflozin 300 mg or placebo. We measured IHTG by proton‐magnetic resonance spectroscopy (primary outcome), hepatic/muscle/adipose tissue insulin sensitivity during a 2‐step euglycaemic insulin clamp, and beta‐cell function during a mixed meal tolerance test. Analyses were per protocol. Results: Between 8 September 2014‐13 June 2016, 56 patients were enrolled. Canagliflozin reduced HbA1c (placebo‐subtracted change: −0.71% [−1.08; −0.33]) and body weight (−3.4% [−5.4; −1.4]; both P ≤ 0.001). A numerically larger absolute decrease in IHTG occurred with canagliflozin (−4.6% [−6.4; −2.7]) versus placebo (−2.4% [−4.2; −0.6]; P = 0.09). In patients with non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (n = 37), the decrease in IHTG was −6.9% (−9.5; −4.2) versus −3.8% (−6.3; −1.3; P = 0.05), and strongly correlated with the magnitude of weight loss (r = 0.69, P < 0.001). Body weight loss ≥5% with a ≥30% relative reduction in IHTG occurred more often with canagliflozin (38% vs. 7%, P = 0.009). Hepatic insulin sensitivity improved with canagliflozin ( P < 0.01), but not muscle or adipose tissue insulin sensitivity. Beta‐cell glucose sensitivity, insulin clearance, and disposition index improved more with canagliflozin ( P < 0.05). Conclusions: Canagliflozin improves hepatic insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion and clearance in patients with T2DM. IHTG decreases in proportion to the magnitude of body weight loss, which tended to be greater and occur more often with canagliflozin.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
