Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects of enpagliflozin plus liraglutide on glucose/lipid metabolism and regulating the serum levels of secreted frizzled-related protein 5(SFRP5),Irisin and total adiponectin(tAPN).
Methods From March 2019 to March 2021,116 obese T2DM patients were randomized into two groups of observation(
n=58)and control(
n=58). Control group received liraglutide for 3 months while observation group had empagliflozin on the basis of control group for 3 months. At pre-treatment and 3 months post-treatment,two groups were compared regarding the parameters of weight lossweight,waist circumference(WC),body mass index(BMI),glucose metabolismglycated hemoglobin(HbA1c),fasting blood glucose(FPG),2 h postprandial blood glucose(2 hPG), lipid metabolismlow-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C),triglycerides(TG),total cholesterol(TC),insulin sensitivityhomeostasis model islet β cell function index(HOMA-β),homeostasis model insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR),serum levels of SFRP5,Irisin and tAPN and occurrences of adverse reactions.

vs 2. 69±0. 31)were lower in observation group than those in control group(
P<0. 05). And the serum levels of SFRP5,Irisin and tAPN were higher in control group than those in control group(
P<0. 05);The incidence of adverse reactions was 17. 24% in observation group versus 12. 07% in control group. And the difference was not statistically significant(
P>0. 05).
Conclusion For obese T2DM patients,enpagliflozin plus liraglutide may improve glucose/lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity,boost serum levels of SFRP5, Irisin and tAPN and accelerate weight loss. The safety profile is decent.
