Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease, in which the abnormality of glucose and lipid metabolism may cause multisystem damage. Sodium-glucose synergistic transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a novel type of hypoglycemic drug that can lower blood sugar level by inhibiting the absorption of glucose through renal tubules. Studies have shown that SGLT2 inhibitors also have a lowering effect on blood pressure, but the mechanism is not fully elucidated. In this article the hypotensive effects of SGLT2 inhibitors and possible mechanisms are reviewed.
Key words:
Sodium-glucose transport proteins; Hypotension, controlled; Diabetes mellitus
