Effects of 6 months glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist treatment on endothelial function in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients

Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1 RA) are used for treatment in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Little is known about their cardiovascular (CV) impact. We sought to determine the effects of chronic treatment on vascular function in T2DM. Brachial artery endothelial‐dependent flow‐med...

Zusammenfassung:Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1 RA) are used for treatment in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Little is known about their cardiovascular (CV) impact. We sought to determine the effects of chronic treatment on vascular function in T2DM. Brachial artery endothelial‐dependent flow‐mediated dilation (FMD) and endothelial‐independent glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) function and carotid intima‐medial thickness (cIMT) were assessed in 11 severely obese T2DMs (4 females, 7 males: 55 ± 8 years, diabetes duration 8.3 ± 4.7 years mean ± s.d.) before and after 6 months GLP‐1 RA. Body weight (5.3 ± 1.2 kg; p
