Abstract Aims Patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) exhibit skeletal muscle pathology, which contributes to symptoms decreased quality of life. Sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) improve clinical outcomes in HFrEF but their mechanism action remains poorly understood. We aimed, therefore, determine whether SGLT2i influence pathology patients HFrEF. Methods results Muscle biopsies from 28 male (New York Heart association class I–III) treated (>12 months) or without were compared. Comprehensive analyses structure (immunohistochemistry), transcriptome (RNA sequencing), metabolome (liquid chromatography‐mass spectrometry) performed, serum inflammatory profiling (ELISA). Experiments mice ( n = 16) also performed. Myofiber atrophy was ~20% less taking p 0.07). Transcriptomics follow‐up measures identified a unique signature related beneficial effects on atrophy, metabolism, inflammation.

The initiation and progression of neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), distinguished by compromised nervous system integrity, profoundly disrupt the quality life patients, concurrently exerting a considerable strain on both economy social healthcare infrastructure. Exercise has demonstrated its potential as an effective preventive intervention rehabilitation approach among emerging therapeutics targeting NDs. As largest secretory organ, skeletal muscle possesses capacity to secrete myokines, these myokines can partially improve prognosis NDs mediating muscle-brain axis. Besides well-studied exerkines, which are secreted during exercise that pivotally exert their beneficial function, physiological function novel e.g., apelin, kynurenic acid (KYNA), lactate have been underappreciated previously.
