The diagnostic approach in IC is challenging since the differential diagnosis is broad. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 91 cholestatic infants referred to our department from 2014 to 2019. Patients with cholestasis underwent a complete IC diagnostic work-up including quantification of plasma oxysterols 7-ketocholesterol (7-KC) and cholestan-3β,5α,6β-triol (C-Triol). RESULTS Oxysterols concentrations were mildly elevated in IC compared to control population. 7-KC and C-Triol plasma levels presented a linear relationship between them and with Spleen-Z score. Patients with NP-C showed the highest concentrations of both oxysterols compared with other etiologies of IC. Excluding NP-C patients, oxysterols concentrations were similar among all other etiological groups with no correlations found between them and the levels of cholesterol and bilirubin. ROC analysis identified AUCs of 1.0 for both oxysterols in predicting NP-C. CONCLUSION Infants with IC should undergo a stepwise evaluation in which detailed clinical and deep analytical assessments are the main crossroads. Plasma oxysterols, a simple, reliable, and convenient diagnostic test should be included in the first steps of the diagnostic process in IC. V.Dapagliflozin (DAPA) or canagliflozin (CANA), Na+-dependent glucose co-transporter type 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, were used for treatment of type II diabetes mellitus. Addition of DAPA or CANA suppressed M-type K+ current (IK(M)) in pituitary tumor (GH3) and pheochromocytoma PC12 cells. The IC50 value for DAPA- or CANA-mediated inhibition of IK(M) in GH3 cells was 0.11 or 0.42 μM, respectively. The presence of DAPA (0.1 μM) shifted the steady-state activation of IK(M) to less depolarized potential without changing the gating charge of the current. During high-frequency depolarizing pulses
