Title: | Comparison of dapagliflozin and teneligliptin in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease patients without type 2 diabetes mellitus: a prospective randomized study. |
Abstract: | There are no reports regarding the efficacy of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) and dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor (DPP4i) administrations in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients without type 2 diabetes mellitus. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of those drugs in such patients. NAFLD patients without type 2 diabetes mellitus were enrolled in this single center double-blind randomized prospective study, and allocated to receive either dapagliflozin (SGLT2i) or teneligliptin (DPP4i) for 12 weeks. Laboratory variables and body compositions were assessed at the baseline and end of treatment. The primary endpoint was alanine aminotransferase (ALT) reduction level at the end of treatment. Twenty-two eligible patients (dapagliflozin group, n = 12; teneligliptin group, n = 10) were analyzed. In both groups, the serum concentration of ALT was significantly decreased after treatment (p<0.05). Multiple regression analysis results showed that decreased body weight of patients with dapagliflozin administration was significantly related to changes in total body water and body fat mass. Administration of dapagliflozin or teneligliptin decreased the serum concentration of ALT in NAFLD patients without type 2 diabetes mellitus. With dapagliflozin, body weight decreased, which was related to changes in total body water and body fat mass (UMIN000027304). |
