Assessment of the impact of dapagliflozin (DAPA) treatment on real‐time renal microvascular PkO2 at different levels of inspired oxygen (FIO2) in non‐diabetic control or diabetic rats (protocol #1). (a) There was no significant difference in mean arterial pressure (MAP) between non‐diabetic control rats treated with vehicle or DAPA. (b) There was no significant difference in MAP between diabetic rats treated with either vehicle or DAPA, at any FIO2 level. (c) When assessed between groups over time, microvascular tissue oxygen was marginally lower in the control DAPA group relative to control vehicle (p = 0.012; two‐way ANOVA). (d) Renal microvascular PkO2 was significantly lower in diabetic rats treated with DAPA compared to vehicle‐treated diabetic rats (p < 0.001; two‐way ANOVA). The microvascular kidney PkO2 remained about 10 mmHg lower, in DAPA versus vehicle‐treated diabetic rats, at all FIO2 levels (n = 6–9 per group)
