Metaboreflex is a reflex triggered during exercise or postexercise muscle ischemia (PEMI) by metaboreceptor stimulation. Typical features of metaboreflex are increased cardiac output (CO) and blood pressure. Patients suffering from metabolic syndrome display hemodynamic abnormalities, with an exaggerated systemic vascular resistance (SVR) and reduced CO response during PEMI-induced metaboreflex. Whether patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) have similar hemodynamic abnormalities is unknown. Here we contrast the hemodynamic response to PEMI in 14 patients suffering from DM2 (age 62.7 ± 8.3 yr) and in 15 age-matched controls (CTLs). All participants underwent a control exercise recovery reference test and a PEMI test to obtain the metaboreflex response. Central hemodynamics were evaluated by unbiased operator-independent impedance cardiography. Although the blood pressure response to PEMI was not significantly different between the groups, we found that the SVR and CO responses were reversed in patients with DM2 as compared with the CTLs (SVR: 392.5 ± 549.6 and −14.8 ± 258.9 dyn·s−1·cm−5; CO: −0.25 ± 0.63 and 0.46 ± 0.50 l/m, respectively, in DM2 and in CTL groups, respectively; P < 0.05 for both). Of note, stroke volume (SV) increased during PEMI in the CTL group only. Failure to increase SV and CO was the consequence of reduced venous return, impaired cardiac performance, and augmented afterload in patients with DM2. We conclude that patients with DM2 have an exaggerated vasoconstriction in response to metaboreflex activation not accompanied by a concomitant increase in heart performance. Therefore, in these patients, blood pressure response to the metaboreflex relies more on SVR increases rather than on increases in SV and CO. NEW & NOTEWORTHY The main new finding of the present investigation is that subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus have an exaggerated vasoconstriction in response to metaboreflex activation. In these patients, blood pressure response to the metaboreflex relies more on systemic vascular resistance than on cardiac output increments.

Introduction: Selective sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors target only the kidney, and they have reduced efficacy when patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have renal impairment (RI). LX4211 blocks sodium and glucose absorption in the gastrointestinal tract by inhibition of SGLT1, and it enhances urinary sodium and glucose excretion in the urine through inhibition of SGLT2. The dual SGLT1/2 action of LX4211 was anticipated to reduce systolic blood pressure (SBP) in addition to improving glucose control in the setting of RI. Methods: This analysis explored the effect of LX4211 on SBP in a clinical trial of patients with T2DM and moderate to severe RI. Patients (N=31) were randomly assigned to be treated with LX4211 (400 mg, N=16) or placebo (N=15) qd for 7 consecutive days. Postprandial glucose levels after a standard high glucose meal served as the primary measure of pharmacodynamic activity. Baseline and Day 8 trough SBP measures were each an average of 3 seated assessments. Results: Mean baseline characteristics included age 66.4 years, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 43.4 mL/min/1.73 m 2 , and SBP 130.9 mmHg. Postprandial glucose area under the curve (sampled from pre-dose to 4 hours post meal) was reduced from Baseline to Day 7 by 169.3 mg*hr/dL on LX4211 compared to placebo (p=0.003). Day 8 SBP reductions were 11.4 mmHg on LX4211 and 0.0 mmHg on placebo (p=0.045 for difference between groups). Patients with greater RI (eGFR <45 mL/min/1.73 m2) treated with LX4211 (N=6) had a 10.5 mmHg SBP reduction compared to 0.3 mmHg on placebo (N=9). The difference between seated and standing SBP did not change with LX4211 (0.0 mmHg change, Day 8 vs. Baseline). There were no reports of hypotension, hypovolemia, no serious adverse events, and no patient discontinued due to an adverse event. Mild hypoglycemia was reported in 1 LX4211 patient compared to 2 placebo patients. Conclusions: LX4211 may reduce SBP and enhance glycemic control in T2DM patients with moderate to severe RI.
