Effect of GLP-1 on Angiogenesis
RandomizedParallel-groupOpen-labelTreatment
Summary
GLP-1 receptor agonists are introduced in the treatment of type 2 Diabetes (T2D) and their efficacy is documented. However, safety aspects are also important to evaluate with respect to micro and macrovascular complications associated with T2D. Few studies have properly addressed the role of GLP-1-based therapies in regulating vascular integrity and angiogenesis. The study evaluate the impact of one-month treatment Liraglutide on both ANGPT2 and ANGLPT4 levels and endothelial circulating progenitor cells, angiogenesis biomarkers in type 2 diabetic patients.
