Impact of Dapagliflozin (Sodium-glucose Transport Protein 2 Inhibitor) on Liver Steatosis and Fibrosis in Subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Steatotic Liver Disease.

A diabetes drug reduced liver fat and scarring in patients with both diabetes and fatty liver disease, suggesting heart and liver protection together.

Dapagliflozin treatment in T2DM+MASLD patients was associated with significant reductions in liver steatosis and fibrosis markers, supporting SGLT2 inhibitor hepatoprotective benefits in cardiometabolic comorbidity. This record was retained from the prior triage attempt for PubMed pipeline handoff.
