简要总结
The liver is a key organ in metabolism and contributes to T2DM development and insulin resistance via unclear mechanisms that may involve liver fat accumulation, inflammatory signals, and immune cells are proposed to play an important role in the pathogenesis of both NAFLD and T2DM.
详细描述
This study aims to define
- The effects of PTX, Empagliflozin as an example of SGLT-2 inhibitors and UDCA on liver biomarkers and liver steatosis in type 2 diabetic patients.
- Studying PTX, Empagliflozin as an example of SGLT-2 inhibitors and UDCA efficacy and safety as add-on therapy in type 2 diabetic patients.
