Background: Prior reports have suggested that pancreatic fat is related to type 2 diabetes. Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors are expected to reduce ectopic fat accumulation. Aim: This study assessed the effect of SGLT-2 inhibitors on pancreatic and liver fat accumulations in patients with type 2 diabetes. Materials and Methods: Retrospective analyses of indices of pancreatic and liver fat accumulations were conducted in 22 type 2 diabetes outpatients who were receiving SGLT-2 inhibitors for more than 12 weeks. The differences between the pancreatic (P) or liver (L) and splenic (S) computed tomography values were evaluated. Results: Fatty pancreas was defined as P-S < -8 Hounsfield Unit (HU), and the number of patients with fatty pancreas was 11 (50%). Fatty pancreas significantly improved after SGLT-2 inhibitor use (median, -20.8; IQR, -34.8 to -14.3 HU vs. median, -14.6; IQR, -29.5 to -7.8 HU; p = 0.041). Fatty liver was defined as L-S ≤ 3.9 HU, and the number of patients with fatty liver was 11 (50%). Fatty liver significantly improved after SGLT-2 inhibitor use (median, -4.3; IQR, -23.0 to 3.0 HU vs. median, -0.7; IQR, -5.2 to 6.3 HU; p = 0.016). Conclusion: Pancreatic fat and liver fat accumulations might be reduced after treatment with SGLT-2 inhibitors in type 2 diabetes patients with intense cumulative fat depositions in these organs.
