Summary
In recent years, the prevalence of overweight and obesity has increased dramatically worldwide, of which 34.3% and 16.4% of adults in China are overweight and obese, respectively, ranking first in the world's obese population. Dapagliflozin is a sodium-glucose transporter 2 Inhibitors that inhibits glucose reabsorption and promotes urinary glucose excretion by inhibiting renal proximal tubular sodium-glucose transporter 2 Inhibitors for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The urinary glucose excretion induced by dapagliflozin can induce weight loss through energy loss or body water loss caused by osmotic diuresis. In addition, in patients with type 2 diabetes, dapagliflozin may also induce weight loss by reducing body fat as well as subcutaneous and visceral fat.In a randomized controlled trial, type 2 diabetes patients treated with sodium-glucose transporter 2 Inhibitors lost approximately 1-3 kg. Also, sodium-glucose transporter 2 Inhibitors have shown good weight loss in obese people without type 2 diabetes. In real-world studies, a minority of type 2 diabetes patients taking dapagliflozin experienced weight gain. The American Lipid Association defines a low carbohydrate diet as the calorie intake of carbohydrates accounting for 10-25% of the total daily energy intake. In a randomized controlled trial, a low-carbon diet showed a more significant decrease in body weight, fat mass index, whole body fat, and visceral fat after 8 weeks compared to the standard diet. So, this study intends to investigate whether the weight loss effect of dapagliflozin is affected by different dietary structures.
