Impact of dapagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, on serum levels of soluble dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 in patients with type 2 diabetes and non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease

Abstract

Improvement of liver dysfunction after treatment with dapagliflozin was associated with a decrease in serum sDPP-4, suggesting that reduction of serum sDPP-4 by SGLT2 inhibitors may be a therapeutic strategy for NAFLD/NASH in patients with type 2 diabetes that is independent of glucose lowering or weight loss.
