Risks and Benefits of SGLT-2 Inhibitors for Type 1 Diabetes Patients Using Automated Insulin Delivery Systems-A Literature Review. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:1972. [PMID: 38396657 PMCID: PMC10888162 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25041972] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 01/27/2024] [Accepted: 02/04/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
The primary treatment for autoimmune Diabetes Mellitus (Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus-T1DM) is insulin therapy. Unfortunately, a multitude of clinical cases has demonstrated that the use of insulin as a sole therapeutic intervention fails to address all issues comprehensively. Therefore, non-insulin adjunct treatment has been investigated and shown successful results in clinical trials. Various hypoglycemia-inducing drugs such as Metformin, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, amylin analogs, and Sodium-Glucose Cotransporters 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, developed good outcomes in patients with T1DM. Currently, SGLT-2 inhibitors have remarkably improved the treatment of patients with diabetes by preventing cardiovascular events, heart failure hospitalization, and progression of renal disease. However, their pharmacological potential has not been explored enough. Thus, the substantial interest in SGLT-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is) underlines the present review. It begins with an overview of carrier-mediated cellular glucose uptake, evidencing the insulin-independent transport system contribution to glucose homeostasis and the essential roles of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporters 1 and 2. Then, the pharmacological properties of SGLT-2is are detailed, leading to potential applications in treating T1DM patients with automated insulin delivery (AID) systems. Results from several studies demonstrated improvements in glycemic control, an increase in Time in Range (TIR), a decrease in glycemic variability, reduced daily insulin requirements without increasing hyperglycemic events, and benefits in weight management. However, these advantages are counterbalanced by increased risks, particularly concerning Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA). Several clinical trials reported a higher incidence of DKA when patients with T1DM received SGLT-2 inhibitors such as Sotagliflozin and Empagliflozin. On the other hand, patients with T1DM and a body mass index (BMI) of ≥27 kg/m2 treated with Dapagliflozin showed similar reduction in hyperglycemia and body weight and insignificantly increased DKA incidence compared to the overall trial population. Additional multicenter and randomized studies are required to establish safer and more effective long-term strategies based on patient selection, education, and continuous ketone body monitoring for optimal integration of SGLT-2 inhibitors into T1DM therapeutic protocol.

Abstract
Heat stress is an important issue, and the addition of fiber to the diet is an option in modifying intestinal health. This study evaluated the effect of acid detergent fiber (ADF) levels on reproductive performance, intestinal integrity, and metabolism of gestating sows, and its carry-over effect on the lactation period during heat stress. The diets included 4.3% (Low fiber; LF), 5.4% (Medium fiber; MF), and 6.5% (High fiber; HF) ADF. Sows fed the HF diet showed a lower respiratory rate, hair cortisol concentration, and farrowing duration compared with the LF treatment. The HF diet increased the pyruvate, citrate cycle, glyoxylate, dicarboxylate, and thiamine metabolism compared with the MF. The concentration of acetate and total short-chain fatty acids were increased in the sows fed the HF diet. The gene expression of glucose transporter 3 and glucose transporter 4 was increased in the HF treatment. The gene expression of heat shock protein 70 was decreased in the HF treatment. The HF diet during gestation increased feed intake, constipation index, piglet weight, and litter weight compared with the LF. Sows in the LF treatment showed the greatest digestibility of crude protein and the lowest digestibility of ADF. In conclusion, a 6.5% ADF level is recommended for gestating sows during heat stress.

Effects of maternal winter vs. year-round supplementation of protein and energy on postnatal growth, immune function, and carcass characteristics of Bos indicus-influenced beef offspring. J Anim Sci 2022; 100:6539999.

Abstract
This 2-yr study evaluated the effects of winter vs. year-round supplementation of Bos indicus-influenced beef cows on cow reproductive performance and impact on their offspring. On day 0 of each year (approximately day 122 ± 23 of gestation), 82 to 84 mature Brangus cows/yr were stratified by body weight (BW; 475 ± 67 kg) and body condition score (BCS; 4.85 ± 0.73) and randomly assigned to 1 of 6 bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum) pastures (13 to 14 cows/pasture). Treatments were randomly assigned to pastures consisting of winter supplementation with molasses + urea (WMOL), or year-round supplementation with molasses + urea (YMOL) or wheat middling-based range cubes (YCUB). Total yearly supplement DM amount was 272 kg/cow and supplements were formulated to be isocaloric and isonitrogenous (75% TDN and 20% CP). On day 421 (weaning; approximately 260 ± 24 d of age), 33 to 35 steers/yr were vaccinated against parainfluenza-3 (PI3) and bovine viral diarrhea virus type 1 (BVDV-1) and transported 1,193 km to a feedlot. Steers were penned according to maternal pasture and managed similarly until slaughter. Data were analyzed using the MIXED and GLIMMIX procedures of SAS. On day 217 (start of breeding season), BCS was greater (P = 0.01) for YMOL than WMOL cows, whereas BCS of YCUB did not differ (P ≥ 0.11) to both WMOL and YMOL cows. The percentage of cows that calved, calving date, birth BW, and preweaning BW of the first offspring did not differ (P ≥ 0.22) among maternal treatments. Plasma cortisol concentrations were greater (P ≤ 0.001) for YCUB steers at feedlot arrival (day 422) than WMOL and YMOL steers. Moreover, YCUB steers had greater (P = 0.02) and tended (P = 0.08) to have greater plasma concentrations of haptoglobin compared to WMOL and YMOL steers, respectively. Antibody titers against PI3 and BVDV-1 viruses did not differ (P ≥ 0.25) among maternal treatments. Steer BW at feedlot exit was greater (P ≤ 0.05) for YMOL and WMOL than YCUB steers. However, feedlot DMI did not differ (P ≥ 0.37) by maternal treatment. Hot carcass weight, yield grade, LMA, and marbling did not differ (P ≥ 0.14) among maternal treatments. Percentage of steers that graded low choice was enhanced (P ≤ 0.05) for WMOL and YCUB than YMOL steers. Maternal year-round supplementation of range cubes or molasses + urea either did not impact or decrease growth, immune function, and carcass characteristics of the offspring when compared with maternal supplementation of molasses + urea during winter only.

The effects of maternal nutrition during the first 50 d of gestation on the location and abundance of hexose and cationic amino acid transporters in beef heifer uteroplacental tissues. J Anim Sci 2021; 99:skaa386.

Abstract
We hypothesized that maternal nutrition during the first 50 d of gestation would influence the abundance of hexose transporters, SLC2A1, SLC2A3, and SLC2A5, and cationic amino acid transporters, SLC7A1 and SLC7A2, in heifer uteroplacental tissues. Angus-cross heifers (n = 43) were estrus synchronized, bred via artificial insemination, and assigned at breeding to 1 of 2 dietary intake groups (CON = 100% of requirements to achieve 0.45 kg/d of BW gain or RES = 60% of CON intake) and ovariohysterectomized on day 16, 34, or 50 of gestation (n = 6 to 9/d) in a completely randomized design with a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement of treatments. Uterine cross-sections were collected from the horn ipsilateral to the corpus luteum, fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin, sectioned at 5 µm, and stained via immunofluorescence for transporters. For each image, areas of fetal membrane (FM; chorioallantois), luminal epithelium (ENDO), superficial glands (SG), deep glands (DG), and myometrium (MYO) were analyzed separately for relative intensity of fluorescence as an indicator of transporter abundance. Analysis of FM was only conducted for days 34 and 50. No transporters in target areas were influenced by a day × treatment interaction (P ≥ 0.06). In ENDO, all transporters were differentially abundant from days 16 to 50 of gestation (P ≤ 0.04), and SLC7A2 was greater (P = 0.05) for RES vs. CON. In SG, SLC7A1 and SLC7A2 were greater (P ≤ 0.04) at day 34 vs. day 16. In DG, SLC2A3 and SLC7A1 were greater (P ≤ 0.05) for CON vs. RES heifers; furthermore, SLC7A1 was greater (P < 0.01) at day 50 vs. days 16 and 34 of gestation. In MYO, SLC7A1 was greater (P < 0.01) for CON vs. RES and was greater (P = 0.02) at days 34 and 50 vs. day 16. There were no differences in FM (P ≥ 0.06). Analysis of all uterine tissues at day 16 determined that SLC2A1, SLC2A3, and SLC7A2 were all differentially abundant across uterine tissue type (P < 0.01), and SLC7A1 was greater (P = 0.02) for CON vs. RES. Analysis of all uteroplacental tissues at days 34 and 50 demonstrated that all transporters differed (P < 0.01) across uteroplacental tissues, and SLC7A1 was greater (P < 0.01) for CON vs. RES. These data are interpreted to imply that transporters are differentially affected by day of gestation, and that hexose and cationic amino acid transporters are differentially abundant across utero-placental tissue types, and that SLC7A1 is responsive to maternal nutritional treatment.

Abstract
The focus of this review is maternal nutrition during the periconceptual period and offspring developmental outcomes in beef cattle, with an emphasis on the first 50 d of gestation, which represents the embryonic period. Animal agriculture in general, and specifically the beef cattle industry, currently faces immense challenges. The world needs to significantly increase its output of animal food products by 2050 and beyond to meet the food security and agricultural sustainability needs of the rapidly growing human population. Consequently, efficient and sustainable approaches to livestock production are essential. Maternal nutritional status is a major factor that leads to developmental programming of offspring outcomes. Developmental programming refers to the influence of pre-and postnatal factors, such as inappropriate maternal nutrition, that affect growth and development and result in long-term consequences for health and productivity of the offspring. In this review, we discuss recent studies in which we and others have addressed the questions, "Is development programmed periconceptually?" and, if so, "Does it matter practically to the offspring in production settings?" The reviewed studies have demonstrated that the periconceptual period is important not only for pregnancy establishment but also may be a critical period during which fetal, placental, and potentially postnatal development and function are programmed. The evidence for fetal and placental programming during the periconceptual period is strong and implies that research efforts to mitigate the negative and foster the positive benefits of developmental programming need to include robust investigative efforts during the periconceptual period to better understand the implications for life-long health and productivity.

Abstract
We examined the hypothesis that maternal nutrition and day of gestation would affect the concentrations of AAs and hexoses in bovine utero-placental fluids and maternal serum from days 16 to 50 of gestation. Forty-nine cross-bred Angus heifers were bred via artificial insemination and fed a control diet (CON = 100% of requirements for growth) or a restricted diet (RES = 60% of CON) and ovariohysterectomized on days 16, 34, or 50 of gestation; nonpregnant controls were not bred and ovariohysterectomized on day 16 of the synchronized estrous cycle. The resulting design was a completely randomized design with a 2 × 3 factorial + 1 arrangement of treatments. Maternal serum, histotroph, allantoic fluid, and amniotic fluid were collected at time of ovariohysterectomy. Samples were then analyzed for concentrations of AAs and intermediary metabolites: alanine (Ala), arginine, asparagine (Asn), aspartate (Asp), citrulline, cysteine, glutamine, glutamate (Glu), glycine (Gly), histidine, isoleucine, leucine (Leu), lysine, methionine (Met), ornithine, phenylalanine (Phe), proline (Pro), serine (Ser), threonine (Thr), tryptophan, tyrosine (Tyr), and valine (Val). The concentrations of Gly, Ser, and Thr in maternal serum were greater (P ≤ 0.05) in CON compared with RES. Furthermore, day of gestation affected (P ≤ 0.05) concentrations of Asn, Glu, Phe, Thr, and Tyr in maternal serum. Status of maternal nutrition affected the Asp concentration of histotroph where RES was greater (P = 0.02) than CON. In histotroph, Ala, Leu, Met, and Val concentrations were greater (P ≤ 0.05) on day 50 compared with day 16. Additionally, Glu and Pro concentrations in histotroph were greater (P < 0.01) on days 34 and 50 compared with day 16. A day × treatment interaction was observed for the concentration of Val in allantoic fluid where day 34 CON was greater (P = 0.05) than all other days and nutritional treatments. In addition, the concentration of Gln in amniotic fluid experienced a day × treatment interaction where day 34 RES was greater (P ≤ 0.05) than day 34 CON, which was greater (P ≤ 0.05) than day 50 CON and RES. These data support our hypothesis that day of gestation and maternal nutrition affect the concentrations of various neutral and acidic AA in beef heifer utero-placental fluids and maternal serum from days 16 to 50 of gestation.

Abstract
We hypothesized that maternal nutrition and day of gestation would impact utero-placental mRNA expression of the nutrient transporters , , , , and in beef heifers. Crossbred Angus heifers (n = 49) were estrous synchronized, bred via AI, assigned to nutritional treatment (CON = 100% of NRC requirements for 0.45 kg/d gain and RES = 60% of CON) and ovariohysterectomized on d 16, 34, or 50 of gestation (n = 6 to 9/d); Non-bred, non-pregnant (NB-NP) controls were fed the CON diet, not bred, and were ovariohysterectomized on d 16 of the synchronized estrous cycle = 6). The resulting arrangement of treatments was a 2 × 3 factorial + 1 (CON vs. RES × d 16, 34, or 50 + NB-NP controls). Caruncle (CAR), intercaruncular endometrium (ICAR), and fetal membranes (FM [chorioallantois]), were obtained from the pregnant uterine horn (the uterine horn containing the conceptus) immediately after ovariohysterectomy. On d 50 cotyledons (COT), intercotyledonary placenta (ICOT) and amnion (AMN) were also collected. Relative expression of nutrient transporters was determined for each tissue utilizing NB-NP-CAR and NB-NP-ICAR tissues as the baseline. For FM, NB-NP endometrium served as the baseline. There was no interaction of day × treatment ( ≥ 0.20) for any genes in CAR. However, CAR expression of was greater ( < 0.01) on d 16 compared with d 34 and 50, and , , and were greater ( ≤ 0.05) on d 34 compared with d 16 and 50. In ICAR, was the only gene to be influenced by the day × treatment interaction ( = 0.01), being greater in d 50 CON compared with d 34 CON and d 16 and 50 RES. In ICAR, expression of was greater ( < 0.01) on d 16 compared with d 34, and expression of was greater ( < 0.01) on d 34 and 50 compared with d 16. In FM, expression of was greater ( = 0.04) on d 16 compared with d 50 of gestation, and expression of was greater ( < 0.01) on d 34 and 50 compared with d 16. On d 50, expression of , , and expression were all greater ( < 0.05) in AMN compared with COT and ICOT, and expression of was greater ( < 0.01) in ICOT compared with COT and AMN. These data indicate that day was a more influential factor for mRNA expression of utero-placental glucose and cationic AA transporters than maternal nutritional status in heifers during early pregnancy.

During early gestation, nutrients are transported to the developing embryo via transporters in the uterine endometrium and chorioallantois. In the present study, we examined glucose transporters and and the cationic AA transporters , , and to test the hypotheses that 1) relative mRNA expression of transporters would be different among uteroplacental tissue type as gestation progresses and 2) concentrations of glucose and cationic AA would be different among target sites (placental compartments, serum, and histotrophic) and days of gestation. To test these hypotheses, crossbred Angus heifers ( = 46) were synchronized, bred via AI, and then ovariohysterectomized on d 16, 22, 28, 34, 40, or 50 of gestation (5 to 9/d) or not bred and ovariohysterectomized on d 16 of the synchronized estrous cycle ( = 7) to serve as nonpregnant (NP) controls. Uteroplacental tissues (maternal caruncle [CAR], intercaruncular endometrium [ICAR], and fetal membranes [FM; chorioallantois, d 22 and later]) were collected from the uterine horn ipsilateral to the corpus luteum immediately following ovariohysterectomy. Relative mRNA expression of the glucose transporters and cationic AA transporters was determined for each tissue from d 16 to 50 of gestation and from NP controls. Chorioallantoic, amniotic, and plasma fluids were collected from heifers on d 40 and 50 of gestation to determine concentrations of glucose and cationic AA. Expression of and showed a tendency ( < 0.10) toward being greater in d 16 ICAR and d 34 ICAR, respectively. Day × tissue interactions ( < 0.05) were present for , , and . Expression of was greater in d 50 CAR, expression of was greater on d 34 in ICAR, and expression of was greater in CAR tissue on d 34 compared with all other tissues and days of gestation. Glucose concentrations tended ( = 0.10) to be impacted by a day × fluid interaction. A day × fluid interaction ( = 0.01) for arginine concentration was observed, with greater concentrations in allantoic fluid on d 40 compared with all other days and fluid types. These data support our hypothesis that glucose and cationic AA transporters differ in their level of mRNA expression due to day of gestation and uteroplacental tissue type. In addition, concentrations of nutrients were differentially impacted by day, target site, and/or their respective interaction.
