SLC5A2 and endothelial dysfunction: The role of SGLT2 in HG‐induced endothelial senescence, an early event promoting endothelial dysfunction,31 is examined using the selective SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin in cultured porcine coronary artery endothelial cells (ECs) and assessed by the SA‐β‐gal activity using C12FDG.
