Sglt2 Inhibitors In Diabetes Management: Mechanisms, Clinical Benefits, And Expanding Therapeutic Frontiers, Naiyer Shahzad, Nahla Ayoub

Saudi Toxicology Journal

The kidneys play a vital role in renal glucose reabsorption, with the sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) in the proximal renal tubules performing a crucial function in reabsorbing glucose into the bloodstream. SGLT2-selective inhibitors are a new class of oral antidiabetic drugs that enhance glycemic control in diabetic patients by blocking glucose reabsorption. These drugs are primarily developed to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This review summarizes the latest preclinical and clinical trials on SGLT2 inhibitors. These new oral antidiabetic agents effectively and selectively block SGLT2, leading to a reduction in blood glucose levels and HbA1c in both diabetic animal models …

Majority Rule And Bankruptcy Resolution Of Mass-Harm Events, Sarah Paterson, Adrian Walters Jan 2026

Majority Rule And Bankruptcy Resolution Of Mass-Harm Events, Sarah Paterson, Adrian Walters

University of Chicago Legal Forum

Mass-harm events invariably precipitate mass tort liabilities. Since the enactment of the Bankruptcy Code in 1978, firms have resorted to Chapter 11 to address mass tort claims in cases involving asbestos-related disease, defective products, the opioid crisis, and historic sexual abuse. Of late, the use of bankruptcy to resolve mass tort claims has been the subject of sustained criticism from inside and outside bankruptcy law’s professional and academic communities. Much of this has been provoked by the Purdue Pharma filing and the bankruptcy court’s approval of a plan of reorganization that created a liability shield for the Sackler family in …
