Abstract

The content of the brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in blood plasma and the activity of 5′-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in lymphocytes of type 2 diabetes patients with anemia and after the treatment with dapagliflozin are determined with enzyme immunoassay. It is shown that the highest level of NTproBNP is observed in patients with severe anemia. At the treatment with dapagliflozin, the peptide level was markedly reduced, which may be explained by an increase in the activity of AMPK as a result of the exposure to a hypoglycemic drug. It is suggested that the treatment with dapagliflozin may have a positive effect on complications of type 2 diabetes associated with cardiovascular pathologies.
