Role of canagliflozin in ameliorating isoprenaline induced cardiomyocyte oxidative stress via the heme oxygenase-1 mediated pathway

Biotech Histochem. 2023 Oct 2:1-13. doi: 10.1080/10520295.2023.2262390. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCanagliflozin (CZ) is commonly prescribed for management of type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM); it also can reduce the risk of myocardial infarction. We used 80 albino Wistar rats to investigate the cardioprotective potential of CZ against oxidative stress caused by administration of isoprenaline (ISO). We found that ISO stimulates production of reactive oxygen species and that CZ administration caused up-regulation of antioxidants and down-regulation of oxidants due to nuclear factor erythroid-2 related factor-2, as well as by enhancement of the heme oxygenase-1 mediated cascade. CZ monotherapy may play a cardioprotective role in diabetic patients. CZ possesses strong antioxidant potential that ameliorates cardiac damage induced by ISO administration.PMID:37779487 | DOI:10.1080/10520295.2023.2262390
