Abstract excerpt
Inhibitors of the Na+-glucose cotransporter SGLT2 enhance urinary glucose and urate excretion and lower plasma urate levels. The mechanisms remain unclear, but a role for enhanced glucose in the tubular fluid, which may interact with tubular urate transporters, such as the glucose transporter GLUT9 or the urate transporter URAT1, has been proposed. Studies were performed in nondiabetic mice treated with the SGLT2...
