SGLT2 Inhibition and SNS Regulation Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, secondary to reducing renal stress, may reduce afferent renal sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activation. A reduction in central SNS activation may serve as an important mechanism of heart failure protection and reduce renal SGLT2 expression.
