Canagliflozin Increases Intestinal Adenoma Burden in Female ApcMin/+ Mice

The diabetes drug canagliflozin extends life span in male mice. Since malignant neoplasms are the major cause of death in most mouse strains, this observation suggests that canagliflozin might exert anti-neoplastic effects in male mice. Here, we treated a mouse neoplasia model, the adenoma-prone ApcMin/+ strain, with canagliflozin, to test the effects of this drug on intestinal tumor burden. Surprisingly, canagliflozin increased the total area...
