  1. Risk of depression and dementia among individuals treated with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Current opinion in psychiatry 2025-02-19 Drug development

    The effects of these medicines on mood have not been as well explored, but there are concerns about the potential increased risk of suicidality among GLP-1 RA users.

  2. The use of SGLT-2 inhibitor was associated with a lower risk of incident dementia and all-cause mortality in older adults with T2D compared to DPP-4 inhibitor and GLP-1 RA.

  3. Assessment of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and other antidiabetic agents in Alzheimer's disease: A population-based study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 60 out of 100. Pharmacological research 2024-07-04 Drug development

    The lack of effective treatments for dementia has led to explore the potential of antidiabetic agents as a possible approach.

  4. The Effect of the Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter Inhibitor on Cognition and Metabolic Parameters in a Rat Model of Sporadic Alzheimer's Disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Biomedicines 2023-03-27 Drug development

    Type 2 diabetes mellitus increases the risk of sporadic Alzheimer's disease (sAD), and antidiabetic drugs, including the sodium-glucose cotransporter inhibitors (SGLTI), are being studied as possible sAD therapy.

  5. Association of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors With Time to Dementia: A Population-Based Cohort Study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 79 out of 100. Diabetes care 2023-02-01 Drug development

    SGLT2 inhibitors showed an association with lower dementia risk in older people with T2D. Randomized controlled trials are warranted.

  6. A total of 13,276 SGLT2I and 36,544 DPP4I users (total n = 51,460; median age: 66.3 years old [interquartile range (IQR): 58-76], 55.65% men) were studied (follow-up: 472 [120-792] days).
