Abstract in brief

  • Dapagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, reduces cellular aging markers and oxidative stress in diabetic mouse kidneys, demonstrating a protective effect against diabetic kidney disease.
  • The drug increases plasma beta-hydroxybutyrate (HB), which helps protect kidney cells by activating NRF2, a key regulator of antioxidant responses, thereby decreasing DNA damage and cell senescence.
  • In cell studies, HB and NRF2 activation were shown to reduce aging markers and DNA damage, highlighting a mechanism where ketone bodies promote antioxidant pathways to prevent kidney cell aging in diabetes.]
