Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death among individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D), with women experiencing a disproportionate risk of events compared to men. Women have an amplified burden of cardiovascular risk factors once T2D is diagnosed. Incretin mimetics now play a central role in managing cardiovascular risk by improving glycemic control, promoting weight loss, and potentially exerting direct cardioprotective effects. Similarly, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors contribute to CVD prevention through various non-glucose lowering mechanisms. Both classes of medications are integral to personalized treatment strategies aimed at addressing the heightened cardiovascular risk faced by women with diabetes. This mini-review addresses possible mechanisms underlying the increased cardiovascular risk and explores the role of incretin mimetics and SGLT2 inhibitors in mitigating CVD in women with T2D. Emphasizing personalized and sex-specific approaches in diabetes care is crucial for optimizing treatment outcomes and improving cardiovascular health.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology is dedicated to innovative approaches to the study of cell and molecular physiology. Contributions that use cellular and molecular approaches to shed light on mechanisms of physiological control at higher levels of organization also appear regularly. Manuscripts dealing with the structure and function of cell membranes, contractile systems, cellular organelles, and membrane channels, transporters, and pumps are encouraged. Studies dealing with integrated regulation of cellular function, including mechanisms of signal transduction, development, gene expression, cell-to-cell interactions, and the cell physiology of pathophysiological states, are also eagerly sought. Interdisciplinary studies that apply the approaches of biochemistry, biophysics, molecular biology, morphology, and immunology to the determination of new principles in cell physiology are especially welcome.
