Effect of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitors on Endothelial Function: A Systematic Review of Preclinical Studies (2020)
Journal Article

Introduction While the beneficial effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors on cardiovascular and renal outcomes are recognized, their direct effects on endothelial function remain unclear. We, therefore, undertook a systematic... Read More about Effect of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitors on Endothelial Function: A Systematic Review of Preclinical Studies.

Testosterone therapy induces molecular programming augmenting physiological adaptations to resistance exercise in older men (2019)
Journal Article

Background: The andropause is associated with declines in serum testosterone (T), loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia) and frailty. Two major interventions purported to offset sarcopenia are anabolic steroid therapies and resistance exercise training (RE...

Albuminuria regression and all-cause mortality among insulin-treated patients with Type 2 diabetes: analysis of a large UK Primary Care cohort (2019)
Journal Article

Background: Overt albuminuria (urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) >300mg/g) is an established risk factor for progression of nephropathy and total mortality. However, whether, a reduction in ACR translates into a reduction in mortality and/or car...

Individual and combined relationship between reduced eGFR and/or increased urinary albumin excretion rate with mortality risk among insulin treated patients with Type 2 diabetes in routine practice (2018)
Journal Article

Background: Low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and increased urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) are well-recognised prognostic markers of cardiovascular (CV) risk, but their individual and combine relationship with CV disease and...
