Fig. 4From: Sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor Dapagliflozin attenuates diabetic cardiomyopathyDAPA alleviates oxidative stress. Neonatal cardiomyocytes were exposed to 17.5 mM and 33 mM glucose (a–h). ROS was detected using a 2′, 7′-dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCF-DA) reagent. Adding DAPA (5 μM), with/without ATII (1 μM) reduced the production of oxidative species in both glucose concentrations. i, j Adding DAPA to cardiomyocytes causes an immediate reduction in both amplitude (AMP) and area under the curve (AUC) of calcium transients. *p < 0.05Back to article page
