In recent years, several oral antidiabetic drugs with new mechanisms of action have become available, expanding the number treatment options. Sodium/glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a class an insulin-independent mechanism promoting urinary glucose excretion. We report results combined Phase 2 and 3 clinical study (Japic CTI-101349) SGLT2 inhibitor tofogliflozin (CSG452, RG7201) in Japanese patients type diabetes mellitus. The efficacy safety were assessed this multicenter,...

OBJECTIVE—Recently, several genes have been shown to be associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes by genome-wide association studies in white populations. To further investigate the involvement these polymorphisms conferring susceptibility diabetes, we examined 14 single nucleotide (SNPs) within 11 candidate loci a Japanese population. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—We analyzed SNPs (rs4402960 IGF2BP2, rs10811661 CDKN2A/B, rs1111875 and rs7923837 HHEX, rs13266634 SLC30A8, rs1113132...

Strategies aimed at mimicking or enhancing the action of incretin hormone glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) therapeutically improve glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS); however, it is not clear whether GLP-1 directly drives in pancreatic islets. Here, we examined mechanisms by which stimulates mouse and human We found that enhances GSIS a half-maximal effective concentration 0.4 pM. Moreover, determined activates PLC, increases submembrane diacylglycerol thereby PKC, resulting membrane...

Although over 60 loci for type 2 diabetes (T2D) have been identified, there still remains a large genetic component to be clarified. To explore unidentified T2D, we performed genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 6 209 637 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which were directly genotyped or imputed using East Asian references from the 1000 Genomes Project (June 2011 release) in 5976 Japanese patients with T2D and 20 829 nondiabetic individuals. Nineteen unreported selected taken...

In addition to morphological biochemical analysis of islets, gene expression profiles islet core area were laser capture microdissection real-time RT-PCR. Liraglutide treatment improved metabolic variables insulin sensitivity also increased glucose-stimulated secretion...

Dapagliflozin is a selective sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor under development as treatment for type diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study assessed the efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin monotherapy in Japanese T2DM patients with inadequate glycaemic control.Patients (n = 279) were randomized to receive (1, 2.5, 5 or 10 mg/day) placebo once daily 12 weeks. The primary endpoint was change from baseline haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at week 12. Secondary endpoints included fasting...

Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors exhibit diuretic activity, which is a possible mechanism underlying the cardiovascular benefit of these inhibitors. However, osmotic diuresis-induced increase in urine volume, and risk dehydration have been concern with SGLT2 inhibitor treatment. This study aimed to investigate canagliflozin-induced diuresis Japanese type diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Thirteen T2DM patients received daily oral dose 100 mg canagliflozin before breakfast...

To determine genetic factors involved in diabetes susceptibility inbred strains of mice, we initially evaluated differences fed plasma glucose and insulin concentrations among six (AKR/J, C3H/HeJ, C57BL/6J, C57L/J, DBA/2J, SWR/J). There was considerable variation concentration, with C3H/HeJ mice the most tolerant (174 ± 7 mg/dl) C57BL/6J least (252 mg/dl, P &amp;lt; .0001 vs. mice). Glycosylated hemoglobin (4.0 0.06%) also higher than that (3.52 0.06%, .0001). The concentration did not...
