Results from this study2

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Natural levels measured2

These results measure the body's own peptide. Nobody was given the peptide. They are not evidence about taking it. They are left out of key results, evidence counts and charts.

    In diabetic patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, SGLT2 inhibitor use had no marked effect on serum humanin levels.

    In plain wordsIn diabetic patients with heart failure, SGLT2 inhibitors did not markedly change the body's own humanin levels.

    Summary
    Although SGLT2 inhibitors had no marked effect on humanin levels, they significantly augmented MOTS-c levels when compared to the control.

    Summary · context
    A total of 74 adult diabetic patients with HFrEF and 37 healthy controls were included in this prospective study.
    Summary · context
    Half of the patients were using SGLT2 inhibitors (empagliflozin or dapagliflozin) for at least two months.

    This result measures the body's own Humanin. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.

    In diabetic patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction who used SGLT2 inhibitors, serum MOTS‑c levels were higher than in healthy controls.

    In plain wordsIn diabetic patients with heart failure, those using SGLT2 drugs had higher levels of the body's own MOTS‑c than healthy people.
