Given the impact of SGLT2 inhibitors to reduce overall mortality and CV risk in T2D, improved understanding of cellular and transcriptional mechanisms responsible for metabolic effects is required. We fed C57BL/6J mice a 60% high fat diet (HFD) for 4 weeks prior to assignment to one of 3 groups: (1) 60% HFD, (2) HFD with canagliflozin (CANA, 25 mg/kg/day), and (3) HFD weight-matched (WM) to CANA via caloric restriction. Mice were analyzed after 4-8 weeks. CANA reduced fasting glucose by 47% (P To identify potential mechanisms responsible for these fasting-like phenotypes, we analyzed the molecular impact of CANA. Liver transcriptomic analysis revealed marked downregulation of lipogenesis, glycolysis, and steroid synthesis pathways (p Disclosure S. Osataphan: None. C. Macchi: None. V. Sales: None. C.
